I was doing a report on miep gies, a woman who was brave and helped out anne frank and her family while they were in hiding.
Then, I saw her original name.
Hermine. (no O though)
Coincidence much? Or maybe brave hermione was modeled after her?

Thats interresting. Cause I have read about something like that before. I have never really took it into the HP books. Jo could have done that. But we are totally not sure.

it could also be that its a coincidence... i mean i know that Hermione is brave but i dont see any of her acts the same as that hermine. i mean hermione didnt hold a house full of muggles from voldemort. (kinda couldnt) but maybe the connection lies in what she did for the house elves... hmmm :/

Yeah, the name she was born with was Hermine Santrouschitz. No O. Big difference. And no connection with Hermione Granger's name.
Hermione was named after a character in Shakespeare.
"JKR chose the name Hermione from a character in Shakespeare's play "A Winter's Tale;" although she says that the characters are not at all similar. She thought it made sense for a couple of professional dentists to name their only daughter something like that to show how clever they were. But she chose a very unusual name because she worried that, if there were a real child somewhere who was bright and had larger-than-usual front teeth that had the same name, she might get teased (NPC). Hermione was also the name of two British character actresses who played witches. Hermione Baddely played Elspeth in the "Bewitched" TV series and was in Mary Poppins, and Hermione Gingold was in the movie "Bell Book and Candle." (IMDb) JKR has fun throughout the series with people mangling the pronunciation of Hermione’s name."

I still think that it's an interesting coincidence . . . even if it was just that -- a coincidence.

But Hermione wasn't based on Miep, it's just a wonderful coincidence.
