Favorites from Harry Potter

by Susanna Marie
This is a list of my favorite boys' names from the Harry Potter series. J. K. Rowling did an amazing job of naming her characters and many of these names are great, usable names.
Boys:
1. Alastor- This is one of my favorite boys' names with a great character association. It means "avenger" in Greek and it is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015.
2. Aberforth- this name has an unknown meaning, but I think it is a really cool name. It is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015.
3. Fred- Fred and George are my favorite characters from this series. It is a short form of a few possible names with several possible meanings: "peaceful ruler", "elf" and "counsel", "strength", or "will, desire". It is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015.
4. George- It means "farmer, earthworker" in Greek and it is currently ranked 136 in 2015.
5. Ollivander- It is a real surname and there are several possibilities for the meaning. This name could be a great alternative for Oliver. It is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015.
6. Pius- It means "Pious, dutiful" in Latin and this name is one I have liked for a long time. It is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015.
7. Remus- In Roman legend Remus and Romulus were the founders of Rome and it has an unknown meaning. It is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015.
8. Viktor- It is a form of Victor meaning "victor, conqueror" in Latin and it is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015.
9. Argus- I have a soft spot for the name Gus so I really like this name even though the character isn't the best. I see his character as more quirky and grumpy than bad, though. It means "glistening, shining" in Greek and it is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015.
10. Errol- This name has an unknown meaning, but I really love it. It is currently not in the top 1000 for 2015.

      Ollivander would be a bold choice, but it also sounds like names that popular now like Alexander and Oliver. Thank you for commenting!

The Ultimate Baby Name Tag

1. What is your own name and do you like it? My name is Susanna Marie. I love my first name Susanna, it sounds beautiful, has tons of nickname options, and has a wonderful meaning, "Lily". I don't really like my middle name, Marie, it is extremely common, and it doesn't sound very nice. The meaning of Marie is debatable, but some of the possible meanings are not nice. 2. If you have children, what are their names and how did you come up with them? I don't have any children, so on to the next question. 3. If you have a baby boy right now what would you name him? I would probably name him Orion Zephyr, nickname Oz. I love this combo so much and the nickname Oz is so adorable.  4. If you had a baby girl right now what would you name her? I would probably name her Briley Rose. I have loved this name for a long time. I don't know why I love Briley so much, this name doesn't really resemble my usual name style. Roses are my favorite flowers and I ...

Name of the Week

Ursa Ursa is the name of two constellations: Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. It means "Bear" in Latin. Ursa has never been in the top 1000 in the United States. It would make a great alternative to names like Ava, Ella, Leah, and Nora. I personally love this name. If anyone wants to you can comment below and tell me what you think of this name.

New Names I am Loving Lately

These are names I have just recently fallen in love with and I thought I would share them with you! Girls: 1. Gwyna - I love the name Gwen/Gwyn but not on its own and I don't like the names that it is used as a nickname for. I was thinking about Gwen/Gwyn and just thought why not Gwyna.  2. Maewyn - I have liked this name for a while, but I have just recently started loving it. I love a good Mae name, because Mae names are beautiful and Mae is a family name for me. 3. Clara - I have always liked this classic name, but I find it much more charming and elegant than I did before. 4. Ida - It sounds so spunky, short and sweet. My grandmother's middle name is Idabell and this is would be a wonderful tribute to her. 5. Farren - I love girls' names that have the -Ren- sound in them and this name sounds very light and whimsical to me. Boys: 6. Sydney - This is a family name for me, so I have always had this name in the back of my mind. It sounds handsom...
