I won't say anything until someone else makes a reply!
When you say other, please give the name! And also Why!

I always thought James would be a good name. I thought about the others, but I don't know. I did consider finding a black dog and naming him Sirius, though!

I like Lily, but it's not as unique as i woould like it...
but perhaps in the 7th book there will be some nice new names...
Parvati/Padma are not bad names... but kind of common indian names

I think I'd probably give the name Belatrix! It's sounds pretty kool, and it kinda rolls off your tounge! Bellatrix, but if we were going 4 nameing some1 not 4 the name, but rather 4 the person, I'd pik Harry! He is really symbolic .. in my opnion!

oooooooo definetly Harmoine because she's a very smart person and always knows what to do--oh and because it's a nice name also

Definately Harry because it is one of the few names that are quite popular these days. and i also like the name quite a lot too.

Or James for the same reason. you could call them Jamie for short which i think is a nice name too.

I voted other because the name I would call my daughter Ginny.
Yes, Ginny.
WHAT??? It's a nice name!

If I had a girl, it would be Lily, because I love that name and also, I had a really good friend in elementary school named Lily.

A son would be named James or Ron.

Well...I voted other because I love the name Nymphadora that rocks and i would so name my kid that I also love the name ginny rolls off the tongue that one does. But I really want to name my kid or pet perferrably a kitty Lord Voldemort muhahaha lol think of how funny it would be when your watching Harry Potter movies and everytime the name Voldemort comes up a picture of your kitten pops in your head. How amusing hehehehe
ok well yeah! bye now!
fjkrs

I voted other because I love the name Ginny and I also love the Narcissa.

These names are wonderful and unusal.

If I'd give my child a HP name it would probably be Sirius if it was a boy. There's something beautiful and interesting in that name
For a girl it would be... Lily I think, I always liked that name but it isn't really special. I already named one of my guineapigs after a hp charakter, his name is Gaffel (the dutch translation of Prongs).

If I was to have to a child, and he was a boy the name would probably either be James or Remus. If she was a girl, she'd probably be Lily or Andromena.

Sadly enough, I like the name Lucius. My mother got a little put out with me when I told her. Said something along the lines that it was too close to Lucifer...

^lol
I would also name my kid Lucius. Is a very nice name, very intimidating and well-made.
If it was a girl it would be Lily. Really pretty name

i like lily.but,thats just me.you would relaay have to dicuss it with your wife.but,untill i get married we proably wont have to worry too much about that.

Remus. I thought the others either too normal, or too mean sounding. I'm sure the characters affected my choice tho. haha (Severus sounds like cutting someone's limbs off)

Whoa, that's really weird! I was just thinking about this at school today! Anyways, I decided that if I ever have a baby girl, I will either name her Hermione or Emma, because I love both of those names! Though where I live, when she got older she would kill me for naming her Hermione, because nobody had even heard that name before HP, and it would be quite obvious that she was named after the character. Oh well!

I voted Severus .I think he's a ... oh ,I don't know who to say ... just voted it. Heehee

MOD EIDT: Please be careful..one liners are not allowed on the forums..please elaborate more in future posts

I voted Bellatrix because I just think it sounds really cool . I know some people wouldn't like it because she's evil , but think about other evil character's names in these books:

Lucius - Lucifer (guy who brought evil into the world)

Narcissa - Narcissus (guy from Greek myth that was so obssesed with himself that he stared at his reflection at the lake so long he died)

Severus - I think this name just sounds evil, like sever

There are other ones but these are the most well known ones. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anything against you if you want to name your kids these names, just a bit of history about where they came from .

*Padfoot*

You can probably tell by my name who i'd choose!!lol harry is the most normal name in it!!!I also think lily is cool aswell so harry for a boy and lily for a girl!!

I'm Greek and our the traditions are severe. We have the habit to name our fisrt child(especially if it is a boy) after one of the parents of our husband. But I am determined to name my son Sirius, either my husband agrees or not! It was a vow I made while I was mourning his death. I want desperately to give him a second chance in life, through this pathetic way. If my partner cannot understand this need of mine,he won't love me enough!!And anyway, Sirius it's a lovely name..

Bellatrix... it's a cool name I think and I'll give her a nickname. It could be Trixie or Trix. Or I could give her Brix, sounds like a boy and when they asked her what her real name, she'll answer "Bellatrix." It's so cute... when people is wondering what's your real name and you have such weird/cool/unique nickname...

Allright....I voted bellatrix not because I like her (trust me...I'm in love with sirius...i hate the woman..) but because I absolutely am in love with the name bellatrix!

o and kinda in reply to gryffin_hauz_88...I actually think i would proably just keep her bellatrix or if she had a nick name i would call her bella...course then people might think that her name is isabella or really bella...i love the brix thing too!

Wow .... my half-brother and half-sister-in-law just named their first child, a daughter. She was born this afternoon.

Her first name is Elenor (after Elenor of Acquitaine)

Her second name is .... Alba !!! (the female version of Albus)

Isn't that a weird coincidence! My name is Alba Bumblebee!

I think that the HP novels brougt back a couple of old fashion names that had been dying out. Let's face it, there just aren't that many young people named Harry or Hermione. Personally, I like both of these names now, but there was a time when I thought the name Harry was so fuddy-duddy. I have to say that I do like it now. I also like the name Hermione, now that I know how to pronounce it! And, I just love the nickname - 'Mione - for Hermione!

Lily! Beautiful name and maybe the most "normal" of all...

And in Quebec, Harry is too...hum...english! But it's a good name.

Well, my firstborn, if it was a girl it would be Hermione. If it was a boy, it would be Harry. For my second born, if it was a girl it would be Lily, and if it was a boy it would be James or maybe Ronald.

I like Lily for a girl and Siruis for a boy. They are both kind of unique because you only hear them in hp. I agree with Dumbledore's Widow on how J.K. bought back older names in her books.

Mmm..Bellatrix.
It's the most beautiful name of the ones I've seen above. And I like the fact that we can call this person "Bella", it's nice differently from most of other abreviations of names. This name's just special and not common. but it would remind me too much of Bellatrix lol

I f I were to name my child a name from HP it would be Lily or Ginny cos they are both beautiful names and I like them alot.Ginny would be the best cos the real character is kind and funny and I would want my child to have those type of traits.

I like Lily the most but it was only because of bellatrixes charictor that I didn't pick that instead. I couldn't name my daughter after a person like that. I also agree that Ginny is a nice name

I voted Draco, but I also love the name Bellatrix. If I had a girl I would name her Bellatrix and if I had a son i would name him Draco. Lol, I'm quite weird aren't I? Just a question, how do you say Bellatrix's name? Is it Bell-a-twa or Bell-a-trix. Hehe, either way I still like it.

For a boy - I'd say Sirius (and no not just because I fancy him ), I really like the idea that the Black family is named after stars/constellations - it just struck me as being really meaningful

I would have said James (because that is my dads name) but my dad shortened it to 'Jim' which doesn't really have the same appeal (feels really guilty now)

For a Girl - Bellatrix, it sounds very nice (but also it has the star/constellation thing too) - yes, I think I may steal that idea



I remember listening to my friends audio version of the book, I can't quite remember exactly how it was pronouned but it seemed to be said as a french-pronouned name (I think) - i remember thinking that I had been saying in my head completely wrong and that the way the reader was saying it sounded much nicer and it actually sounded like a very sensual name

I picked Bellatrix because I think it is a very interesting name! I would pick that name if I had a girl. I don't know what name to pick if I had a boy though.

I would name her Luna. i like that name, and it sounds pretty and cool. i like that name. it doesn't really sound like a preppy name to me, and that's what i hate. Preppys.

My favorite character is Hermione, but I don't really like that name. So I picked Lily, which is a pretty name!! I also like Bellatrix, but I think a shortened version would be better, like Bella or Belle! Which means "beautiful" in some languages...not sure which though!



Oh and I remember on the Scholastic website there's a pronunctuation guide. It said it was pronounced "Bellatrix Le-STRAW-nge" so I guess you could say that is kind of French...

I would definitely have to say Seamus, because it's so Irish, like me! I really like Harry, however, but who would be so cruel as to name their kid Harry right now? They'd be teased and everything. I have a cousin, and she's been named Hermione, and the first thing my parents said was "Oh, that poor girl." So, I would have to say Seamus.

(Lily's a really pretty name, but I don't plan to name my kids after flowers.)

LILY!
i like that name, it sounds so nice!
and i also like 'ginny' i think i'd take one of these two names...i dunno which one. they're both very nice... and i also think draco's good...*shruggs*
well, glad i don't have to make a choice now!

i know what you mean...i have always loved the name "damien", but it too is often associated with the devil. as far as hp names that i like...well, i like most of them, but some of my favorites are: bellatrix, draco, nymphadora, severus, remus, sirius, and parvati. i have also always liked the name george.

I really like the name Lavender


I seriously am considering it if I ever have a girl.

Otherwise Lily is really pretty

I would definatly want to name my son Cedric. I just really like that one. I think Draco is cute, I think it's cute for cat, because if I named my son that, I'd be a bit too worried that he was going to turn out evil. James and Seamus are good too.

Wow good question!
Anyway if I had a girl I'd name her Pavarti
If it were a boy it would be Ron...

If i have a child the name from HP i would choose would either be Lily of Ginny. One, because i adore those too characters and two, because they are nice names. I prefer Lily compared to Ginny for a name but i prefer Ginny the character rather than Lily. If i have a choise i'd probably have two girls and called them those names if a had to. For a boys name i'd probably stick with Harry. The others are a bit weird to call your son that.

I would name a girl Lily or Ginny. I really love both names. If it was a boy I would name him James or Harry. Maybe I'll have 2 sets of twins and I can use them all!! Just joking!

I would name my girl Lily. I have a lot of characters of stories and stuff named Lily, and it just reminds me of a flowers. So does Lola for some reason, which would definitely be one of my children's name. For boys I would pick Ron. Ron is just the awesomest character ever, and not that many people are named that in the states anymore. For a pet definetely Bellatrix. Now that is a cool name, but not for a person. Maybe Voldemort if it was a boy pet. There goes my dark side

I chose James because that name makes me think of a noble person and also because I picture him as a very handsome guy and well, that certainly helps!

I don't know if this is right but I also think it's a very british name, well it feels that way anyway

Fraggle

gilderoy because i laughed the first time i read that name...

MOD EDIT: One-liner is not allowed on board. Please elaborate them next time. Thanks. ~zyra

Well, that's a tough one. First of all, I seriously doubt any of those names would go well with our last name. *lol*
But I am actually considering naming my daughter Olivia and then call her Lily - just because I love those names so much and I am into shorts, also.
Point is - my husband won't play along. Hehe.
Male names? Hm... You know, this is weird, but Rufus (Scrimgour) sounds cool. Hehe. And I love Felix (Felicis), of course, but I have a brother who's called that, so I wouldn't use it.

Flutters

Mark my words, people, I will find a black dog and name it Sirius!!!!

I think Lily is a really pretty name, but the name Hermione is really special. Both very pretty names. My friend's dad once asked my to name their baby boy with the first alphabet 'J'. I told them to name him James but they took Jerry instead.
