OP, you and your wife are idiots.

[ - ] scarlett11Good: 52Bad: 131 year, 11 months ago

Agreed. Wow, these are both terrible names. Why don't you just name her Harry Potter?

[ - ] MausGood: 39Bad: 91 year, 11 months ago

I love Harry Potter, but naming a kid after a character in it? It's just stupid, unless you're naming them because you like the name. I used to like the name Bella before Twilight came around and ruined everything.

[ - ] scarlett11Good: 8Bad: 71 year, 11 months ago

Exactly. Same with Edward. mylifeisaverage.com/story/1709408

[ - ] AmberGilmore88Good: 13Bad: 41 year, 11 months ago

I completely agree. When I found out I was pregnant last year I wanted to name my son Edward because it's my Father's middle name but everyone completely ruined it by linking it to Twilight and I couldn't stand it anymore. It's ridiculous.

[ - ] morbidlyobesepandaGood: 6Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

I agree. The kid's going to get a lot of teasing for that, too. At least Bella's more common than Hermione.

[ - ] ginnyweasley1234Good: 26Bad: 31 year, 11 months ago

Thats why you name her Bellatrix and nickname will be Bella, everybodys happy

[ - ] MyJesusJesusGood: 6Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

Ha! Love that. Definitely a win-win, so I agree.

[ - ] ChloeSapienzaGood: 3Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

YES! LOL. Harry Potter wins, yes. But don't name the poor kid Hermione.

[ - ] averagelystrangeGood: 1Bad: 01 year, 11 months ago

Or Trix. o.o

[ - ] TequilaKingfisherGood: 5Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

I'm sad cos I hate Twilight and my names bella... Bella Swan is an insult to all Bella's of the world. But i think naming a kid after someone/thing you admire and like is a nice thing to do... unless that thing is Twilight, in which case its stupid and annoying

[ - ] lytleblueyesGood: 5Bad: 01 year, 11 months ago

its a girl

[ - ] raibeanGood: 5Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

Lol I agree. Don't name the poor child Hermione!!!

[ - ] pookiebus23Good: 1Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago

i dont know just go with something original like a common but unique name not a character

[ - ] IAlwaysFailGood: 3Bad: 01 year, 10 months ago

First off, naming kids after a cherished book character can show them how much you love them. Second, it's there baby, they can name it how they see fit. And third, Bella could stand for Bellatrix... Nice lil compromise there for you two.

[ - ] killercxntpuntGood: 24Bad: 271 year, 11 months ago

I hope it turns out not to be your kid. Fucking idiot.

[ - ] VidarGood: 26Bad: 111 year, 11 months ago

I hope it turns out not to be MY kid...

[ - ] TequilaKingfisherGood: 5Bad: 41 year, 11 months ago

I never realised there were MLIAers out there as rude and humourless as you people... smile, its not like calling a kid Hermione is going to hurt you.

[ - ] averageismymiddlename1Good: 8Bad: 81 year, 11 months ago

wow morons

[ - ] InsertWittyUserNameGood: 36Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

Don't lie. You're naming her Gertrude.

[ - ] zmcgGood: 23Bad: 51 year, 11 months ago

Or Olga.

[ - ] CrutonGood: 8Bad: 51 year, 11 months ago

La-a.

[ - ] InsertWittyUserNameGood: 3Bad: 51 year, 11 months ago

You mean Le-a? Hell no. >.>

[ - ] CrutonGood: 15Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

It's pronounced La-dash-uh.

[ - ] InsertWittyUserNameGood: 4Bad: 141 year, 11 months ago

No, it's pronounced Le-dash-uh.

[ - ] MyJesusJesusGood: 1Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

What a sad excuse for a name...

[ - ] keilabellaGood: 6Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

Or Gretchin.

[ - ] InsertWittyUserNameGood: 10Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

Or they could just go with an average name, like Jessica, or Rebecca.

[ - ] zmcgGood: 8Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago

Rebecca's not that average anymore. But Mary is. Let me see..I think Kristen was too. I forget.

[ - ] InsertWittyUserNameGood: 12Bad: 01 year, 11 months ago

Megan is still pretty average. -nods-

[ - ] keilabellaGood: 8Bad: 01 year, 11 months ago

So is Laura.

[ - ] killercxntpuntGood: 31Bad: 01 year, 11 months ago

Wow my name is Jessica. My best friend's name is Kristen, her cousin's name is Megan and my puppy's name is Mary Jane. Ha, I'd say this is all average.

[ - ] InsertWittyUserNameGood: 4Bad: 31 year, 11 months ago

And Lexi.

[ - ] zmcgGood: 10Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago

killercxtpunt has a very average little world. *nods in approval*

[ - ] the_awesomestGood: 5Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago

My name is Lexi!!!!!!

[ - ] ginnyweasley1234Good: 6Bad: 01 year, 11 months ago

I think Emily is as average as you can get

[ - ] drgreghouseGood: 1Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago

MY name is Megan(:

[ - ] diePERFECTLYparGood: 5Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago

Rebecca's pretty average. I know more Rebeccas than Marys.

[ - ] LittleJ67Good: 6Bad: 01 year, 11 months ago

strangely enough, that's mine and my sister's names. Jessica and Rebecca. creepy

[ - ] JessandbiebsGood: 2Bad: 01 year, 7 months ago

yah my name is jessica and my sisters name is rebecca, no joke

[ - ] killercxntpuntGood: 6Bad: 41 year, 11 months ago

Nah man, Bertha.

[ - ] keilabellaGood: 4Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

Gertrude?

[ - ] SpazzmatazzGood: 5Bad: 31 year, 11 months ago

Roberta.

[ - ] killercxntpuntGood: 2Bad: 31 year, 11 months ago

No Bertha lol. It's a worse name than Gertrude don't ya think? I mean Big Bertha is the only nickname the poor kid would have.

[ - ] mcgarrityGood: 4Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

wat about marge. i think thats a doomed named. just ready to be an epic fail

There's this girl named Bertha in my class and everyone calls her Big Bertha lol! =)

[ - ] bethanymc1Good: 5Bad: 01 year, 11 months ago

Name her Bethany (:

[ - ] bethanyskyeGood: 1Bad: 01 year, 9 months ago

I agree that is a nice name. And not just because that is my name. Also it is not that popular.

[ - ] BookMobileGood: 9Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

Come on, OP. We couldn't care less.

[ - ] zmcgGood: 12Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

I find this utterly nonsensical and lacking common logic. In other news, I think the font looks thinner.

[ - ] shoeshineronenickelGood: 1Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

Huh. I'm not sure. Maybe it is thinner.

[ - ] diePERFECTLYparGood: 10Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

It's been dieting! Nothing but substanceless cliches for a month. It tastes horrible, but does wonders for one's figure.

[ - ] zmcgGood: 3Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

The horrors the font must have gone through! It could have just as well had lipo, and not gone through all that trouble.

[ - ] heatherrawrieeGood: 12Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago

Ooh, I sure hope you weren't planning on reading the comments, not with a post like this *shudders*

[ - ] iPhone13Good: 15Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

You obviously have no concern for the unborn baby... I hope she realizes how unbelievably rude and inconsiderate you were before she was even born...

[ - ] keilabellaGood: 17Bad: 61 year, 11 months ago

SEND THAT KID TO AN ORPHANAGE! Before you kill her throwing her at wolves so they can become best friends. Or teach her wizard spells that will never help her in real life.

[ - ] kingsofleonfanGood: 7Bad: 41 year, 11 months ago

Ok seriously, OP you are an idoit.

[ - ] NomNomKiraEatedYourFaceGood: 10Bad: 41 year, 11 months ago

OP is probably a teenager who forgot the condom, to think this is an okay way to name your child.

[ - ] killercxntpuntGood: 10Bad: 31 year, 11 months ago

Bella is a beautiful name, haha and not just because it means beautiful in italian. I'm sure no one would link the kid to Twilight. Now Hermione, that's just asking for trouble.

[ - ] NomNomKiraEatedYourFaceGood: 7Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

Well yeah, but the fact that within this post, it has to do with Twilight, is what makes it horrible. My dog's name is Bella, but we named her that before we even heard of Twilight.

[ - ] shoeshineronenickelGood: 12Bad: 81 year, 11 months ago

My dog's name is Bella too. I named her after I'd heard of the books and read each of them, and I liked them. And truthfully, I still do. (Don't shun me).

[ - ] NomNomKiraEatedYourFaceGood: 10Bad: 01 year, 11 months ago

Haha. I won't. I don't push my opinion on others. And Bella is a gorgeous name, but since everyone associates it with Twilight now, it doesn't seem that great anymore.

[ - ] diePERFECTLYparGood: 5Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

I think Isabelle is a beautiful name. Bella might be asking for trouble. Hermione is just ridiculous though.

[ - ] UnicornsDoExistGood: 7Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

I read twilight before anyone had heard of it. And I still like it too... The movie might have been okay if bot for the poor cast of characters b

[ - ] UnicornsDoExistGood: 3Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago

*not and the b was supposed to be a period xP

[ - ] klaybabyy15Good: 4Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago

yea i read it in 2004 before it became so insane

[ - ] SupportSPEWGood: 1Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago

Ditto. The story wasn't too bad (minus sparkling vampires)

[ - ] TequilaKingfisherGood: 2Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

why? Hermione means brave heroine... surely thats a nice thing to call a child?

[ - ] trcrappsGood: 12Bad: 41 year, 11 months ago

How about you name it Mpafi for my parents are fucking idiots.

[ - ] NomNomKiraEatedYourFaceGood: 4Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

I giggled at that.

[ - ] trcrappsGood: 4Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

The p would be silent.

[ - ] NomNomKiraEatedYourFaceGood: 1Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

So, have fun naming your nonexistant baby with your nonexistant wife, OP! Though 10 is a bit young to have kids, I am not one to judge.

[ - ] iluvgiraffesGood: 4Bad: 301 year, 11 months ago

it definately should be heromine...i mean no one wants a sparkly baby :)

[ - ] NomNomKiraEatedYourFaceGood: 11Bad: 41 year, 11 months ago

No, just no.

[ - ] UnicornsDoExistGood: 14Bad: 51 year, 11 months ago

Heromine? Heromine wasn't even one of the choices.

[ - ] NomNomKiraEatedYourFaceGood: 11Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

I have a feeling that user is going through and badding us and just gooded her own comment.

[ - ] lorlor0694Good: 9Bad: 51 year, 11 months ago

why dont u just name her "baby".... i mean like thats a real average name

[ - ] NomNomKiraEatedYourFaceGood: 6Bad: 31 year, 11 months ago

OP might as well name the kid "Mistake". Although I guess I would feel bad for the child.

[ - ] emanon6993Good: 4Bad: 161 year, 11 months ago

Personally. Op you make me smile. This post is great. If you want to name your kid after harry potter go ahead everyone here can suck a dick. And if you choose bella just tell everyone she is your little princess not a whiney psycho who is inlove with a freaky fairy...I mean vampire

[ - ] lapianomusaGood: 2Bad: 101 year, 11 months ago

it better be hermione jean, cause that's her name.

[ - ] westman4Good: 5Bad: 61 year, 11 months ago

GO Hermione!! GO GO GO!!!

[ - ] AmberGilmore88Good: 5Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

What happened to originality? Seriously. Why not name your daughter for someone in your family, or name her something that has a strong meaning behind the name. It's your little girl, so name her what you want, but really...think about it.

[ - ] duetmasakiGood: 8Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

So, I gave my newborn daughter the middle name of "Danger". Is that bad or badass?

[ - ] hipposgomooGood: 6Bad: 41 year, 11 months ago

Bella can also stand for Bellatrix.

[ - ] averagefriend123Good: 3Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

I don't think you should name your daughter Hermione. It's a nice name and all, but what if she gets teased about it for the rest of her life? Probably not a good idea.

[ - ] singergurl1125Good: 3Bad: 31 year, 11 months ago

please don't tell me you would actually name your child Hermione- is it really fair to stick a kid with a name that will get her teased forever?

[ - ] keepitonwaxGood: 7Bad: 41 year, 11 months ago

Jesus christ people, it's his own baby ffs. Let him choose.

[ - ] VistaKaiGood: 4Bad: 31 year, 11 months ago

Please, please let this be a joke. Hey OP, just name the baby Bellatrix; then you both get your silly way, and your kid is still doomed.

[ - ] keepitonwaxGood: 3Bad: 31 year, 11 months ago

At least Hermione and Bella were semi-popular names before the books, Bellatrix is just taking it too far.

[ - ] sals098Good: 7Bad: 41 year, 11 months ago

Yeah, i'm sure Hermione was a semi-popular name before the books [rolls eyes]. No. Bella, yes. & people who don't want to name there kids a name they like because of a character in a movie have serious problems. You think in ten years anyone's going to remember twilight? No. Name your kid what you want to name her and don't worry about bullshit that the name can be compared to.

[ - ] SupportSPEWGood: 0Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago

Amen

[ - ] kasegedGood: 4Bad: 51 year, 11 months ago

haha, looks like your baby's name is Hermione. A lot better than Bella. That's actually a cute name

[ - ] SilvarbelleGood: 7Bad: 61 year, 11 months ago

Ignore the haters in the first posts; they're miserable creatures that can't feel better unless they make others miserable, too. I think naming the baby Hermione is perfectly alright. =D

[ - ] queen_lubiGood: 7Bad: 61 year, 11 months ago

technically Bella doesn't sparkle, Edward does. but yea, both those names suck.

[ - ] JenovaGood: 9Bad: 31 year, 11 months ago

I feel sad that people are hating on the name Hermione :( I rather like it. On another note I met somone named Galadriel who had a brother named Eomer a long time ago. The mom had been reading LOTR at the time. They felt no shame. NO HATING ON NAMES THAT HAPPEN TO BE IN BOOKS/MOVIES. Thank you.

[ - ] TequilaKingfisherGood: 1Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago

Galadriel is a pretty name

[ - ] bethanymc1Good: 0Bad: 71 year, 11 months ago

Don't name her a book name! thats sooo stupid.

[ - ] lytleblueyesGood: 13Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

[ - ] herbologyNEVILLEGood: 3Bad: 61 year, 11 months ago

i think you shouldnt name her hermoine, but maybe cho, no. LUNA!!!! LOONY LOVEGOOD!!!!!!or Katie, katie's normal. like katie bell, or angelina, or alicia!! all on gryffindor qudditch, or ginny weasley, molly weasly, lily potter any of those.

[ - ] averagechild32Good: 3Bad: 41 year, 11 months ago

Bella IS a good normal name. I liked Lily and James a long time before I liked Harry Potter, so I guess if you REALLY like the name Hermione, then I'm not complaining. I just think that it's a bad idea naming kids after movie/ book characters.

[ - ] ratlover0812Good: 3Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

wtf people! how about congrats on u and ur wife having a baby and i dont really give a f**k what her name will be because it will most likely be a good one! and i think hermione is a perfectly good name and she will be a very popular middle/high schooler.

[ - ] quwooshGood: 1Bad: 31 year, 11 months ago

i feel sorry for the kid...

[ - ] LadyLovegoodGood: 1Bad: 51 year, 11 months ago

Harry Potter IS better than Twilight, but I cant see why you would name your child Hermione OR Bella. They are both horrible. Why not go through all of the stinking girls in both series (sarcasm)

[ - ] IAlwaysFailGood: 0Bad: 11 year, 10 months ago

[ - ] HermioneNRGood: 4Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago

As someone whose first name actually is Hermione, I very much approve of this. However, your child should be prepared for a lot of "OMG LIKE HARRY POTTER??!!!" which can get annoying quickly.

[ - ] IAlwaysFailGood: 0Bad: 11 year, 10 months ago

My name is James T Kirk. You think YOU know annoying? Pff...

[ - ] GigglesGood: 4Bad: 21 year, 11 months ago

Technically, You could name the baby Bella, and she wouldn't be a vampire loving baby. She would just be a death eater. Since in the book Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Snape talks to Malfoy calling Bellatrix "Aunt Bella." So Either way, you could have an good HP name, or an evil one. :D

[ - ] SupportSPEWGood: 0Bad: 31 year, 11 months ago

Genius plan. =)

[ - ] chyeashiznitGood: 1Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago

If it has to be one or the other for that reason then go with Hermione. However Bellatrix seems like a much better name. In fact that's what I'm naming my soon to be born daughter. lol

[ - ] withasalsadispenserGood: 2Bad: 11 year, 11 months ago

Stupid OP is stupid. He's making such a cliche MLIA. However, I agree with some people on the name "Bella". Her real name could be Bellatrix, but everyone could call her Bella. Harry Potter name ninja move right there. :D
