Yeah, I totally agree with you... I'm not so set against the Albus thing, because Dumbledore was a big influence in Harry and Ginny's lives, but Albus Severus? Not saying that Snape wasn't a big influence, because he was, but they could've at least made it James Severus instead of Albus Severus! Two weird names in a row just isn't fun...

I mean really, Albus Severus Potter? What kind of a name is that?

Nice post Very Happy

I assumed he'd name at least one of his kids Sirius. I guess not.

The common theory is that his first son was named James Sirius Potter.

But in the Wizarding world the first born child usually has the same middle name as the father' (or mother) first name.
Harry's middle name is James, Ginny's middle name is Molly, Even Hermione was confirmed to have her mother's first name as her middle. So I would think that James' middle name is "Harry."

Why you guys gotta be hating on the name? I think they explained it quite well when Harry was talking with his son about being named after 2 of the best headmasters Hogwarts has seen.

Spoiler:

I was surprised that one of Harry/Ginny's kid's name wasn't Sirius too. And I think GinnyX is spot on with the firstborn. I think their first kid's full name is James Harry Potter. Of course, if you wanted to name everyone who died in the book, why weren't Ron/Hermione's kids named after Lupin or Tonks or even Fred? Maybe they weren't close enough?

Spoiler:

Can someone please help me, why Hugo and Rose? Nothing is wrong with those names, but... they just seem so random.
And p.s., I think I read a fanfic where Hermione and Ron have a baby girl named Rose. So that name must mean something for a random fan AND JKR to have chosen it.

I was a little curious about Hugo..but I got Hermoine, Rose ...Ron.

I was very pleased with his choice to name their son Albus Severus..if you think about it, the name is not all that weird in the Wizarding world, besides people won't mess with him...I actually would have like her to included the future of all the pivotal characters..like Nevelle's family(maybe he married Luna), Harry's job, etc. But I loved it and I cried, and I am very happy with the final book. My parents read wonderful tales to me as a child. When I have children some day, I will continue this tradition and then we will watch the videos every Halloween(pick a special occasion)...

I was touched by the Dudley, Snape and Ron's pieces within the story. I kind of got that Ron had these hidden feelings because he comes from such a large family. The Dudley and Snape story line threw me for a loop. I absolutely love the Snape story, but it was bittersweet. He truly loved Harry's mother for so long, never even married..Snape had such a rough life. Dudley's admission and treatment of Harry was a long time coming, but it made me cry too! Wow..I cannot wait for the movie, but I know it will not be as good as the book.

yeah great point, a lot of names in the wizarding world are strange anyway. now if they sent them to muggle elementary school it might be a problem. I actually like the name Albus Severus...well Albus more so than Severus. and I think it would be too weird to have Harry James and James Harry...its gotta be James Sirius. or maybe its Lily Sirius lol

oh and about Herm and Ron naming their kid Fred...I guess they left that name open for George's kids, or he had already used it. and I think Tonks would hate to think that a kid was going into life with the name of Nymphadora because of her. might be lily or rose's middle name though.

In Muggle school Nymphadora would have been really bad...but its beautiful in the wizarding world..I could have seen Ron and Hermoine naming their daughter Hera, or Rehana..I actually like that LOL

I believe maybe George, or one of the other Weasley brothers named their son Fred, but the Weasly's are my favorite characters especially Ron. I have a thing for red hair and love...

I am sure Harry turned out to be the greatest godfather and family guy..I just wanted to know if he became an Aurora.

It really hurt when he died as did Hedwig, and I believe the book restored faith and hope in overcoming the impossible, which in reality is what life is about..to me. When you think of JK Rowling being poor to where she is now, using her GOD given talents..that was Amazing..kinda like Harry.



Loyalty in a family let alone a friend is rare. They were (as Hermonie, Neville, and the rest of Dumbledore's Army) were imperative to the story...If one is lucky enough to find such loyalty and friendship..I would say that they have lived a very good life.

Hey I like your name, I was born in 77.

Actually, since he saved everyone, it does figure that there names would be after HARRY. But being the type of individual Harry is, The Weasley name will always be in the history books...under Loyalty Beyond Measure..they have been his extended family from the beginning...

Agree. And that's why I'm writing a fanfic where Harry and Ginny have a fourth child named Sirius..............

But really, I understand wanting to honour Severus, but Albus? I wonder... how many kids when he started Hogwarts made the connection and teased him about being named after one of the former headmasters?

heehee... Nymphadora...

I agree, beautiful in the wizarding world, but in the muggle world... kids can be cruel *coughnymphocough*. I mean, we know it means something great. Besides being named after a terrificly brave and wonderful person, the name itself exudes such wonders. But, yeah, muggle kids might not catch that. It's a shame.

if thats true, then the theory that hermione and ron named their children after hermione's parents goes right out the window

and where did u read that about peoples middle names and the first born child having the same middle name as the mother or fathers first name?

James told Harry and Ginny that (their) Teddy was snogging Victoire (their cousin) so Victoire was Bill and Fleur's daughter?

yeah, i agree. but i think the whole point of naming him albus severus, with the first name being albus was so that he would be called albus, it wouldnt just be his middle name that no one really knows... if you catch my drift
