Harry Potter’s classmate Neville Longbottom starts out a bumbler, becomes an object of pity, and eventually grows up to be a hero in his own right.

Starbaby News: Welcome Draco
Yup, Draco. Danica McKellar and husband Mike Verta have chosen the name Draco for their new baby boy.
From the Latin word for dragon, it’s a name perfectly on trend: he was in use in Ancient Greece, there’s a constellation by the name, he has the -o ending of Leo, and while a dragon is a mythical beast, he fits with other not-quite-zoological choices like Griffin and Phoenix.
Nancy tells us that there were 20 little boys called Draco in 2009.
But am I the only one who hears Draco and thinks Malfoy? Or is this one going to follow Luna up the charts as another Harry Potter hit?

Baby Name of the Day: Errol

Thanks to JNE for suggesting Errol as Baby Name of the Day.
