Favorites from Harry Potter

by Susanna Marie
This is a list of my favorite girls' names from the Harry Potter series. J. K. Rowling did an amazing job naming her characters and many of the names are awesome and unique names that would definitely be usable as baby names.
Girls:
1. Hermione- I couldn't do a top ten harry potter name's without mentioning this name. This name is from Greek mythology and is the name of the wife of Leontes in Shakespeare's "The Winter Tale". It is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015.
2. Lavender- This is one of my all time favorite girls' names. It is the name of the plant and the color. It is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015.
3. Luna- She is one of my favorite characters from this series and this is a beautiful name. It means "the moon" in Latin and she was the Roman goddess of the moon. It is currently ranked 110 for 2015.
4. Rowena- The meaning is uncertain, but it possibly means "fame" and "joy, bliss". It is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015.
5. Molly- This is a classic name with a wonderful character as a namesake. It is a diminutive of Mary, which has an uncertain meaning with several possible meanings: "sea of bitterness", "rebelliousness", "wished for child", "beloved" or "love". It is currently ranked 144 for 2015.
6. Hepzibah- It means "my delight is in her" in Hebrew and it is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015.
7. Emmeline- This is a beautiful name which would make a great alternative for the popular Em names like Emma and Emily. It means "work" and is currently ranked 809 for 2015.
8. Septima- It means "seventh" in Latin and it is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015.
9. Nymphadora- Here is another name of a wonderful character. It is possibly a variant of Nymphodora meaning "bride, nymph" and "gift". This name has the accessible nickname of "Dora" and it is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015.
10. Helena- It is a form of Helen meaning "torch" or "corposant" and it is currently ranked 534 for 2015.
