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 ...

My Favorite Names

Girls: 1. Briley- I have loved this name for several years. Over the years, my top ten girls' names have changed a lot but Briley has always been number one. I think I love it because it is not common, but it sounds familiar, which is the perfect combination to me. 2. Lavender- I love this name because it sounds feminine without sounding too girly, it is not common and my favorite color is purple. My only hesitation with the name is that it is maybe a little too out there for me. 3. Jane- This name is simple and beautiful and has a wonderful meaning. My mom's name is Jan, so Jane is my way of honoring her. 4. Wren- I always picture a really kind, smart, quietly beautiful girl with this name. I have no idea why I love it. It is getting a little bit popular and I suspect it will get more popular, so I'm not sure I'll ever use it. 5. Freya- This is such a beautiful name and I love the look of it as well as the sound. It is pretty popular and it may get too popular for...
