Answer 1

I think there are some great names to choose from in the Harry Potter series!



For boys I like the names:

James (A great, classic name.

William (Although I would use Will or Liam as a nickname)

Charlie

Percy

Albus

Dean

Seamus

Neville

Oliver

Draco

Orion

Remus

Tom

Severus

Colin

Viktor

Cedric



But the only names I would actually use for a child are: James, James, William, Oliver, Orion, Remus, and Colin.



For girls I like the names:

Lily

Hermione

Luna

Ginny (Not really a fan of Genevra though.)

Ariana

Kendra

Lavender

Bellatrix

Minerva

Rowena



But I would only actually use these names on a child: Lily, Luna, and Rowena. I might use Hermione as a middle name.



It's so hard to choose a favorite character! There are a lot of personality traitsI like from each character. The Weasley twins are always hilarious when they are in the room. Luna has some great one-liners. And I can relate to both Hermione (education is very important to me) and Ron (I'm very loyal to my friends), but I think my favorite character is Neville. I feel he has grown the most over the series. He started out as a scared, wimpy little boy, and turned into a very brave man, killing Voldemorts snake which lead to Harry beating Voldemort in the end. And he always stayed true to his character, always standing up for what he believed in.

Answer 2

Ginevra Lucy Lily Luna Jean Jane Isabelle Victoire Angelina Patricia Arabella Amelia Bellatrix Harry James John Teddy Ronald Lysander Fred Charles William Arthur Percy Albus Gideon Cornelius Tom Scorpius Colin

Answer 3

OMG I love this question! I'm a mega Harry Potter nerd! lol.



Well my favorite girls names are Hermione, Molly, Ginny, Bellatrix, Rowena, Minerva, and Fleur. I just think they sound cool without being too "out there."

Answer 8

I actually really love a lot of HP names :)



Harry - I love this name, but mainly as a nickname for Harrison

James - Love! It was my pop's name so of course I have something good to think about :)

Ronald "Ron" - I don't like it. It reminds me of Ronald McDonald lol :p

Arthur - Once again, I love it! I think it's a wonderful name. I'm actually thinking about adding it to my list

Fred - It's not the best name really; I'm not much of a fan.

George - I love it. I think it's a very handsome name :)

William "Bill" - Again, I love William! I don't like Bill though, I much prefer the nickname Will.

Charlie - It's okay. I prefer the name Charles and without a nickname

Percy - Yuck. I don't like this name at all

Albus - Same as Percy

Percival - And again.. same as Percy

Wulfric - .. :p same as Percy

Brian - It's an okay name, but not my favorite.

Dean - ♥! I absolutely love Dean! Wonderful name

Seamus - Not my favorite, but it's not terrible

Neville - I hate this name with a pasion, but I have no clue why.

Oliver - Cute name, and I adore the nickname Ollie

Draco - Yuck. I don't think Draco would work very well in the real world :p

Lucius - Reminds me of Lucifer :o

Sirius - Nah, I just think of the word serious so it's not much of a name to me

Orion - I don't really like it

Regulas - No. I think of the word regular which makes me think of boring

Remus - It's okay, although I think if it were to be anywhere on my list it would be with the GPs

John - Love! Such a handsome name

Tom - Love this one as well. I think it's very cute, but I prefer it as a nickname for Thomas

Severus - No

Godric - Nah

Salazar - Nope

Colin - It's okay, but nothing special

Viktor - I like this name, but I prefer it spelled as Victor

Cedric - It's an okay name

Vernon - Naw

Dudley - I think this name belong to a type of candy, not a boy. Can't you just picture a candy brand named Dudley?



Lily - I think this name is pretty, but I think I prefer it as a nickname for Lillian

Hermione - I love this name! It's a GP of mine :p

Luna - Pretty, but when my dog had puppies we gave one to my aunt and they named her Luna

Molly - I used to hate this because I know a really annoying Molly, but the name has grown on me a bit and now it's okay.

Genevra "Ginny" - This name used to be on my list. I don't love it, but I still like it

Ariana - I don't like this name anymore. It used to be my absolute favorite name a while back, but I'm not really a fan of it anymore

Kendra - I hate this name

Lavender - One of those color/flower names that I think should stay a color/flower

Pavarti - I don't really like it

Padma - I don't like this one at all, it sounds a bit odd to me

Narcissa - I love the sound of it, but not really the whole name... if that makes sense :p

Bellatrix - I think this name is odd because it sounds like a mix between Beatrix and Isabella.

Minerva - I'm not really sure about this one, it's okay, but I hate the nickname Minnie

Helga - Yuck. I've also pictured a lady standing on top of a mountain with a goat :o

Rowena - I don't like it. I'm not really a fan of names that have the masculine name with an "a" at the end. Ex: Paula

Fleur - Love! I think this name is very beautiful :)

Petunia - I don't like it at all. I think it should stay a flower and not be a name :o

Love Seamus and Oliver as well as lily, Fleur, and Luna.
