Did you read the Fetching Names posts on The Hermiones? (No? Catch up with Part I and Part II.) To be a Hermione, a name has to be many things, but the basic definition is this: vintage, but not delicate. Clunky, but still cool.
On the original post punkprincessphd wrote this comment: ” … let us *raise* our daughters to be Hermiones, and don’t just stop at naming them such. But to go one step further, I wouldn’t mind if my daughter was a little bit Katniss, too.”
Katniss Everdeen, heroine of The Hunger Games trilogy, has much in common with Hermione Granger. But her name is different. It’s modern, but not invented. Feminine, but not obviously so. And like The Hermiones, the name has to exude strength. But while Miss Granger is all about intellect, Miss Everdeen relies on an almost preternatural instinct.
And so here it is: The Katnisses, bold – even heroic – names for a daughter.
