Just a bit about HP and Twilight names. The names is Harry Potter are RIDICULOS! The names in Twilight are REALISTIC.
1. What kind of name is “Hermione”. I mean WTF?! Sounds lame ass, and it rhyms with “whiny”. Who wants a name that sounds like whiny? Ugh
2. Ronald is a creepy ass name. I mean , seriously who names a book cheracter after Ronal McDonald?! WTF! I mean seriously the name just brings to mind a creepy , burger-gulping ugly clown. EWWW! not to mention that i am against fast food, but still, the thought of Ronald McDonald makes me want to barf, I dont need reminding of THAT every time I hear the name “Ron Weasley” or read Harry Potter/watch the movies.
3. Harry of corse sounds like “hairy”, and thats NOT a plesant thought, esp. for a guy. I mean EEEEEWWW! And “Harry potter”, sounds like “Hairy potty”, DOUBLE FUCKING EEEEWWWWW!
4. Luna. Sounds like “loony” adds to Loony lunas crazy factor. shes so freaking out of it thats its damn unrealistsic as well. And Lovegood. Love is good? WTF stoopid not a realistic last name!!!!!!!!!
5. All the unpornouncable creepy names. I mean seriously, “Slughorn”? “Quirinus”? “Severus”? WTF? Creepy fucking weird. why have stupid lame ass names that no once can prenounce right?!?! WTF?! And besides, with names like those, thats the sort of thing youd get beat up for. No wonders Snapes a loser and everyone hates him and hes ugly!!!!!
6. Hagrid. sounds like “hag”. nuff said. Course he IS ugly enough 2 be one……
7. Sirius. I mean, who names their kid after an expression? especially since sirius was anything BUT serious. Thats like me naming my kid “austere” or “deliberative”. Yuk. He probably got beat up too. AND “serious” is even spelled wrong!!
8. And Hogwarts is weird! I mean hogs are RELLY UGLY! And warts are freaking gross! And a hog with warts is EVEN uglyer! That’s fucking SICK!
9. Dumbledore. who wants a name with “dumb” in it? Gross. and it just sound stupid. It’s freaking weard and DUM! Lol get it? Dum/Dumb.

11. Marvolo. IT sounds like an STD. Barf!!!!!!!!
12. Weasley. it sounds like weasel and it’ sjust REALLY Weird and creepy!!!!
13. BASICALY EVRY NAME IN HP SUCKS!!!!
More wird names:
Yaxley-sound like AX ew
McNair-isnt nair the hair removal stuff??
Bellatrix-frigin weird
All the alliteration names like ones where the first and last ones start with th same letter i mean that just unrealistic and STUPID AND WEIRD!
Peace out! Twilight has GOOD names!
Lizzie
Twilight Gurls 
Thats cause HP is set in a fantasy world whereas twilight is set in a more modern society. Odd names set the mood of a book, and it gives the feel of the theme they are approaching.
Exactly…… and btw…. i can give u the meaning of every name…….
Hermoine is a name from troy…(helen of troy….know it???)…..
Ronald doesnot mean they take it from mcdonalds name…. its a perfectly common name…..
Harry Potter…. as shannon (below..) has said..means ruler….
the list can go on…
by the way though snape was ugly he saved the world…..
and voldemort- split the word- in french it means escape from death…..perfection from rowling…
but then we come to twilight….
Isabella means beautiful….how original….
Jacob Black….. Sirius Black….. see the connection and apparently Jacob can change into a grim like creature at will….. any similarities???
Edward…. just because he lived in the edwardian era…. again meyer…. very original….
Dumbledore is an old word to bumblebee…
And Draco means «Dragoon», I think 🙂
Seriously, the girl who wrote that in the blogg must be stupid, don’t you think? xD
Whenever somebody talks about Jacob Black, I always hear Kreacher saying “A disgrace to the noble house of Black.” I bet he would be blasted off the family tree if he was actually related.. 😀
i love everything you say!
1)Not only is this name a Shakespearean character, it is also a great,asteroid. It was discovered 5/12/1872 by J. C. Watson. He named it Hermione after the daughter of Helen and Melelaus in Greek mythology
2)Albus means “white” in Latin. J.K. Rowling probably named him this because of his long white beard and walking through the halls of Hogwarts humming like a bumblebee. In all, the name Albus Dumbledore means “white bumblebee.”
3) Sirius is the brightest star in the sky, south of the celestial equator in the constellation Canis Major.
4)Draco is large northern constellation (the Dragon), stretching around the north celestial pole.
(7th century bc), Athenian politician. His codification of Athenian law was notorious for its severity.
5)Luna (Roman mythology) the goddess of the Moon
6)The meaning of the name Severus is Severe
7) Vol de mort in French means flight of death
8)Hagrid means harsh nights and he went through tough times appropriate name
Not like any twi-tard would know
anyone notice this girl only talks about how hot Edward is????
dont you people think she sounds like the dursleys… but even the dursleys wouldnt accept her…she reads about fairy vampires and werewolves at will…. dudders would like it though, and aunt marge and ripper.
I disagree to whoever wrote this stupid..whatever this is. The Harry Potter character’s names are not weird.
1. ‘Hermione’ is from a Shakespearean play.
2. Ronald is not a creepy name. It’s a common name.
3. Harry comes from Harold, which means ‘army ruler’
4. Luna mean moon in Latin and don’t get me started on Lovegood.
5. Don’t get me started on number 5. That comment on Snape just proves how shallow some Twihards are.
6. The Hagrid comment, again, proves how shallow some Twihards are.
7. Sirius is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major but of course you wouldn’t know that would you?
8. I refuse to comment on Hogwarts.
9. Dumbledore means ‘bumblebee’
10. Draco mean ‘dragon’ and also a constellation and is quite unique, unlike Bella or Edward or Jacob.
11. Marvolo does not sound like some sort of STD.
12. Okay, maybe Weasley means weasel. But weasels are actually sneaky creatures, whereas, swans are just pretty birds.
13. I resent that. The only reason they have odd names is because they’re wizards and wizards often have odd names.
Bellatrix is one of the stars in the constellation, Orion, it also means ‘female warrior’
What does Bella mean? Beautiful, how original.
And would it kill you to a least spell properly?
J.K. Rowling actually liked weasels, so she named the Weasleys after them!! 😀
And the otter (Hermione’s Patronus) and the weasel are in the same family of animals.
Yeah…
and also Hermiones a pretty name and JK made her patronus an otter cuz its her favorite animal!
Are there actually any twilight fans here, or just Potterheads laughing at how dumb twilight is. Anyway, Harry Potter is awesome. Twilight sucks. End of story.
Too lazy to go to the bottom so…
The names actually have Latin root meanings that express the characters personality, and Luna is supposed to sound like Looney.
The names are the best! Sirius for example is the brightest star and part of the constellation Canis Major which means great dog and Sirius turns into a dog. Lupin is derived from lupine which means wolf like and lupin is a werewolf.
right! :)))
yeah and Hp’s names are more creative
i feel like it’s totally ok to have an opinion about any book at all, but these are both hurtful and unrealistic. as for sirius, at least it wasn’t meant to be spelled ‘serious’ but there are plenty of words spelled incorrectly throughout the entire thing, and i don’t think that’s on purpose. plus, judging hagrid by his looks :0 that’s quite mean! he’s one of the sweetest characters in the entire series. bellatrix is a cool name [plus bella is her nickname, just like twilight!] also, if you like jacob, he’s a werewolf, right? not in the twilight universe, but the alpha’s mate is called a luna! that makes luna royalty. and regarding last names- i’m on a writing site, and write books myself. it’s very difficult to come up with enough names, and if you haven’t experienced that, don’t talk about it. many of the names in twilight are just as unrealistic. isabella swan? bella means beautiful, and swan is a creature known for it’s grace, but unlike in hp, the virtues aren’t exactly disguised. tom marvel riddle, rearranging to voldemort [which means escape from death] is such a cool way to show readers a background! don’t get me wrong, twilight is one of my favourite series of all time, but if you want to hate, just some advice, do give valid reasons, and don’t be hypocritical. [+ check your own spelling before you criticise someone else’s]
peace out [by the way, the lower case is intended for aesthetic reasons, before you think i’m being a hypocrite XD
I can’t even comment on this stupidity. Most of those names have a MEANING to them. Examples:
Draco: The name Draco means a large serpent. In Latin, draco mean dragon. Dragon is huge animal, is winged and lizard like. He generally, depicted as monstrous. These laws were severe and thus were unpopular among people. Draco and his laws were known for impartiality. Thus, when something is referred to as draconian, it is said to be exceedingly harsh or very severe. Draco was also a name given to one of Aceto’s hounds. These hounds killed their master by tearing him apart. A fierce and violent woman is also referred to as draco. Draco is a constellation of northern hemisphere and is considered to dragon-like in appearance. Actually, the constellation is not dragon-like. The constellation takes the shape of a snake. Source: http://www.blurtit.com/q507697.html
As stated above, dragons are usually monstrous. Therefore, it makes sense that his name would be Draco. Draco was a bastard. He bullied everyone, was racist, and only cared about himself. Personally, my opinion of Draco changed after the sixth book, but that’s a different story.
The name Sirius also has a meaning. His name means “Dog Star.” This makes sense, because his Animagus form is a large, black dog.
The name Severus(pronounced Sev-er-us) has a meaning, too. It means “strict” or “severe.” His name also makes sense. Snape was a sarcastic, mean, strict asshole(until the seventh book, that is).
Dumbledore has a meaning, too. Here it is: His first name is from the Latin word alba, “white.” His last name, according to Rowling interviews, is Old English for “bumblebee.” In color symbolism, white often stands for purity, so the headmaster’s name suggests honor and a hard-working nature (“busy as a bee”). (From http://www.angelfire.com/mi3/cookarama/namemean.html)
Luna’s name..I don’t even see what’s wrong with it. Nobody even calls her Loony because of her name. They call her Loony because, well, she IS a bit Loony. But that’s why readers love her.
Even Harry’s name has a meaning! Also from http://www.angelfire.com/mi3/cookarama/namemean.html:
Harry is a medieval English version of the name Henry, “ruler of the home.” It also can be a nickname for Harold, “army ruler.” Potter is a name derived from a trade practiced by an ancestor — far enough back, someone in the family line made earthenware items (compare to Smith or Cook). Rowling got his name from some kids with whom she played in Winterbourne, England, in the late 1960s.
His name also makes a lot of sense. She named him this because she knew what was in store for him before she even finished writing the series. She knew that he would become someone important. She knew he would be the savior of the Wizarding World.
I don’t even want to think about your reason for hating Ron, Hagrid, and Yaxley’s names. They’re too silly to comment on.
But the point is that you can’t judge a book just because of the names of the characters. They’re in the Wizarding World. A place of oddities and wonder. Of course they’ll have names different from ours. And every single one of these names has a meaning to it. Rowling got the names from years and years of research. She named these characters for very specific reasons. It’s ridiculous of you to judge the books just by the names, especially when some of your reasons are so childish.
AMAZING(: ❤
You are wonderful. Your research, support, and sources are impressive. I only read this so that I could see how ridiculous this silly girl’s opinion (if such an uninformed and pointless group of statements can be considered such) and they far exceeded my expectation. Every single character is intentionally named and the names add much depth to each. I greatly respect your rhetorical prowess.
YOU ARE AMAZING!!! Thanks for shutting up that silly stupid b*tch 😀 Seriously, they want to say that twilight is better, but they don’t even have valid facts!!!! What are they going to say, that twilight is better because their vampire sparkle?? ahahah xD I loved your answer Shannon, really 😀
Don’t forget to mention how a ton of the names in HP are named after stars and deep space objects and stuff. And all of the spells in Harry Potter are taken from Greek, Latin, French, Old English, etc origins.
My grandmother has trouble with some English words, as English is the most complicated language to understand and it is her 3rd language. She sometimes makes fun of the names, but she loves the series and sees the lesson behind it.
I used to love the name Isabella, but it has been overly popularized by the Twilight Saga. I was almost named Isabelle, but I am so glad I wasn’t.
Meyer has ruined a lot of very wonderful, beautiful names with her books. I used to love most of the names that she has used (Isabella, Edward, Jacob…) and now every time some uses that name some dumbass is doing to reference to Twilight.
Every name used in the Harry Potter series is clever and reference-y. Twilight names are completely common and have no meaning whatsoever to them.
Cool!! Thank you for pointing those out!
I was so angry upon reading this…disgrace, this crime against humanity, until I came upon your comment. Some of my faith has been restored. You, sir, are a true Potterhead. And for that, I thank you. You are totally awesome.
Also, this little girl needs to be taught THE UMBRIDGE WAY! (Adurrdurrdurr)
This comment is so amazing, it’s like it’s own blog.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Literally everything I would have said and for that I thank you deeply.
finally, someone gets it right. every little thing in harry potter has a meaning and stop judging their names because you don’t like them. I read the post and almost strangled her
Harry potter names suck??
They’re unique and have meanings behind them. And god ur so ignorant i want to puke! Sirius is the name of a freakin star!! The brightest star in the night sky…not an expression! So before you go criticising Jo about her spelling errors check your own instead.
Twilight names are just so boring. Bella, Edward, Jacob… u can seriously find them anywhere. And btw Bella means ‘beautiful swan’, how vain.
Twilight sucks balls! Harry Potter FTW!!
I love you soooooo much right now! I mean, I have used Edward in my personal writing, but that;s only because it’s a historical name, and I was writing historical fiction. HP names are original. I wish I could come up with name like that.
why dont you go fuck yourself and then go get a life . says lot bout you when you take the time to set up a web page to badly judge the work of a genious that brought nothing to this world but happy childhoods and moral values of friendship, bravery and honor to millions.
YES LUNA!!!
Exactly. If she finds our HP names stupid. Then why doesn’t she think the same way, for some stupid baby(I think) who was named renesmee
I can’t believe Bella and Edward named their daughter that. Lame.
1. Hermione is a totally normal English name, Hermione Granger is a more common name than Rebecca Battersby (my name) does that mean I’m unrealistic?
2. Just because you are a bimbo who dislikes food in general…
3. Bloody hell, Harry is a totally normal name!
4. Luna is moon in Russian, her family is Russian.
5. How is ‘Slughorn an unpronouncable name?
6. And Edward sounds like weird, of course he is moronic enough to be wierd….
7. Sirius is the dog star, it shows his affinity to dogs, all members of ‘The Most Noble And Ancient House Of Black’ are named after stars/gallaxys/constalations/etc.
8. Hogwarts was a foul tasting mix of herbs added to alchoholic lighter fluid in cannons in the navy in the second world war to stop sailors drinking it.
9. Dumbledore meaneth ‘bumblebee’ in olde English.
10. Draco is dragon in Latin and is also the snake/dragon constalation, as fits in with both Malfoy and Black traition.
11. Marvolo is a normal name, and does not sound like an STD.
12. Weasley. is a normal surname, my name sounds like batter, does that make it wierd?
Yaxley is a surname.
McNair- Is a Scottish surname.
Bellatrix-A star, female warrior in latin.
And just saying, but how the hell is Bella Swan a normal name? It means Beautiful Swan. And what about Reneesme? That’s just two random names mixed together.
Luna is actually the Roman goddess of the moon…
That’s Diana.

For the record you are amazing
I like your reply. I just had to say that Hogwarts is actually from a flower he found in a botanic garden.
she*
I love you, rebecca :’) Thanks for showing this girl who obviously doesn’t know what awesome is that there’s a meaning behind everything in Harry Potter ^-^ your comment made my day xD
I was just about to write all of that. ^^ 🙂
1- If Rebecca’s name is unique and therefore is weird mine is way more. I am actually a member of the only family in the PLANET who’s 1st last name is Martinez-Feduchi, so am I weird too?
2-Rowling actually had the creativity and mind to look up names that would MEAN something and add to the character’s personalities.
3- How are the names weird? I know people who are named Harry, Ronald, and my best friend’s name is Luna. Reneesme Carlie is a weird name, 4 names mixed.
4-Hermione is a greek woman who appears in many written accounts, like the Iliad by Homer.
5-Luna Lovegood, Lovegood reflects on her compassionate personality. She’s a good person. Something you clearly aren’t.
6-Twilight better than Harry Potter?! You’re kidding Harry Potter teaches about life and morals, how we are all heroes although we may not look like one, that it’s okay to be different, to be an intelligent person. Twilight teaches about the importance of a boyfriend and how whithout one in our life’s our lives are pointless. Please!!!
7-J.K. Rowling has creativity and a mind of her own, she invented a whole WORLD, and Stephanie Meyer changed generations of work about vampires and turned them into fairy princesses.
8-Edward’s a creep, he stalks and watches Bella at night.
9-Ron and Hermione’s relationships biulds in 7 books, Bella and Edward’s in 4 months, that’s not how love works.
So why don’t you think a little next time and now, before you publish such and idiotic thing! You should clearly set your ideas with good arguments, not pathetic ones! And think before bashing out a generation of books and movies loved by millions of people around the world!
As inspiring as the other comment!
Dear Harry Potter fan who commented these replies,
I love you.
Love me.
I Love You Random Stranger I’ve Never Met Before!
Don’t forget the fact that JK Rowling’s names all have deep meanings to them. Stephenie’s sound like she just searched through a name dictionary and went eenie-meenie-minie-mo.
There are still awesome people in this world. Thanks for showing me that when this person gave me doubts.
totally man!!!
LOVED it go girl !!! My favorit names are Bellatrix, Luna, Molly and Hermione. And for the boys is Sirius and Harry!!! By the order that I wrote!!!
How about Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington? XD
^ this reply is amazing ❤ ^_^
100% agree with Meiko Battersby and even Luna, this person clearly and sadly doesn’t understand the brilliance of potter. I would gladly name my child Hermione.
Thank you. I rest my case.
Good points man 🙂 It is nice from you that you explain Miss. everythingisweird the meaning of names, because I almost lost my mind when I read this…
One more thing. Dont you ever touch Sirius honour. He is not serious, that is the point you just ignored.
The author I wish you all the best, cold water does the rest…
i love Sirius too! his name actually means a bright star.. its a beautiful paradox..Sirius Black
The fact this person has ripped on the Harry Potter names proves that she is aware that her owe so amazing serious has the worlds most boring names on the planet.
Do you even grammar, bro?
Wait- let me translate that into a language you would understand:
wow lol ur sooooo dum did u tek grammer at ur schul i bet u didnt cuz ur soooo dum
(Sirius is named after a star. Also, as stated above, his name is a bit of an ironic one. I, for one think that that is quite interesting. Plus, Sirius is only one name, not “the worlds most boring names on the planet.”)
Agreed. Plus Renesmee Carlie So renee and esme, Carlisle and Charlie? Carlisle is hard to pronounce.
^^ EXACTLY!! GO AWAY WITH YOUR JACOBS AND EDWARDS, LIZZIE!!! 😛
*applauds*
Agreed.
Snap 😉
agreed. although, i don’t think that the names in Twilight are that strange, that’s actually my problem with them. These vamps have been around for hundreds of years. they should have old names, or at least uncommon ones. Alice, Edward, Jasper, Emmet, etc. are just incredibly boring names. In Harry Potter, the wizarding world is almost completely at odds with the muggle world, hence the funny names and why they say ‘Merlin’s beard’ instead of a muggle swear. So, yeah. Harry Potter actually makes sense, deal with it.
On another note, do you know why Luna’s a bit strange and Snape’s sort of greasy? There’s two reasons. One of them is that in the world of human beings, we don’t mind that not everyone looks like a goddamn supermodel. That would be boring. That’s not what the character of Snape is for. The other reason is called DEPTH. The characters in Harry Potter have reasons for all the things they do – Luna’s family are into the more out-there part of wizardry, she saw her mother die when she was nine (that’ll mess you up a bit), Snape has been in love for his entire life and never gotten anything back (so he’s bitter and sad), etc. The characters in Twilight lack depth. Bella is the most popular girl in school from her first day, but is a total bitch to everyone and thinks noone likes her and such, because she can. She doesn’t have a mental disorder that distorts her reality or anything, she’s just a bit of a douche.
Also, read Harry Potter again. You’ll find Sirius is actually quite a serious person. Read Twilight again, you’ll find that most of the things you’ve posted here are wrong. Then come back here and tell me if I’m wrong.
OMG! Thank you! Finally…. Thank you!!! ❤
Luna is moon in spanish btw.
It’s moon in many languages, because it comes from Latin. Latin words are present in many languages. In Spanish and Russian, it’s just luna (spelled луна in Russian because they have totally different alphabet, but it’s pronounced luna), in Galician it’s lúa, in Catalonian lluna, in French lune, in Armenian lusin, in Romanian lună, in Portugal lua…
Rebecca, your name sounds like it would show up in a Jane Austen book!!!! I love it!
Last time, I wrote a long, well thought-out reply.
This post is so stupid that I just can’t bring myself to do that again.
And MEYER stole Harry Potter names.
Twilight has boring names. I mean, siriusly? Bella? Edward? The names in Harry Potter are either constellations[patterns of stars in the sky], or unique as can be.
I’m on the side of Harry Potter, but I have read Twilight.
It sucks.
E.J. Reneesme. Rosalie. Jasper. That is all I have to say.
My lady, let GOD BLESS YOUR FREAKIN SOUL!!! You deserve no more than that!
Learn to spell -.-
My great grandma is called Hermione …O.o
http://www.mugglenet.com/books/name_origins_characters.shtml
Since you don’t seem to be able to comprehend the meanings behind Harry Potter names, just read this. Jo Rowling put a lot of thought into the names and they all mean something. For example, Dumbledore means “bumblebee” in Old English. Rowling chose this name because she imagined Dumbledore walking around the castle humming. Maybe next time you should think of legitimate arguments before you insult something. Harry Potter, in my opinion, is in many ways much better than Twilight. One of those reasons is because it has strong themes. As Stephen King once said, “Harry Potter is about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend.”
you thing bella and edward sound better????And yes I would like to be named hermione or lily or luna ,ok?Of course not Bella just because it sucks !!!!!Edward…he is a lord or sth?No he is just a cold pale vampire!!!
All the names have their meaning, you stupid girl
Bellatrix-Female warrior in Latin
Sirius-A constellation, and it is spelled right. Look it up and know the facts before you post something, dumbass.
Ronald-A common name
Luna-Means Moon in Spanish
Dumbledore-Bumblebee in old Latin. JK Rowling stated she named him this because she could see him humming while doing work, walking, etc.
Draco-Means Dragon in Latin
Harry-A common name
Potter-In older times, your last name was your profession(it means job if you’re too stupid to understand it). His ancestors may have been pottery makers
And that is all I have to say.
Actually, Sirius is a star, not a constellation. My bad.
PS-You are not very bright. I’m twelve, and I seem much smarter than you
And Sirius is called the “dog star” Sirius has the ability to change into a dog.
You just restored my faith in humanity
Actually, Harry Potter’s ancestors were called the Peverells (is that spelled correctly?). The name later changed to Potter, which is a common British name.
Again:
You should be shot.
seriously you toilet lot don’t have any valid reasons to compare crap crap crap
HAHAHAAA
I will now forever think of Ron as Ronald Mcdonald now!
But I stopped reading at Sirius, because I had to go down and scold you Silly Twihard for not doing research. It’s a freaking star, look it up!
Personally, I just love Rowling’s creativity with names, and the thought she puts into each one. Many names are perfect for their owners, for example:
Luna: Moon in Arabic, or Crazy (in spanish I think? Not sure)
Bellatrix: Female Warrior in Latin, unlike Bella Swan’s name which just means “pretty”.
Rowling’s names involve creativity and humor, while Mayer’s are just popular names for the time they were given.
Luna means moon in many languages.
Dear LizzyBella,
Thank you for making my internet surfing that bit better. You are a hilarious comedy writer, and should definitely do more in the future. However, I suggest you branch out from Twilight and Harry Potter-bashing. After all, the “dumb Twi-hard” character is getting a little hackneyed recently. Also, your arguments, whilst amusing, are a little unbelievable, such as the argument that Harry Potter is a bad name that sounds like hairy potty. This, I thought, was pushing your comedy writing too far into the gutter. Your incorrect spelling of “dumb” is also pushing it a little far, I’m afraid to say. Anyway, an excellent effort, and I look forward to more contributions in the future!
An avid fan.
Rowling is a genius, the names she created have meanings. Dumbledore means bumblebee, and dumbledore is always humming to himself, No.12 Grimmauld Place also sounds like “grim mouldy/old place” Beauxbaton:
“Beaux-Baton”=”Beautiful Stick” in French!
Black, Sirius:
Sirius, also called the Dog Star, is the brightest star in the sky!
Delacour, Fleur:
Fleur Delacour is a girl from Beauxbatons. Fleur-de-la-Cour, it means “Flower of the court” in French!
Dumbledore, Albus:
Dumbledore=bumblebee in Old English! J.K. Rowling says that it “seemed to suit the headmaster, because one of his passions is music and I imagined him walking around humming to himself.” Albus also means “white” in latin. Maybe because he has a white beard? Or maybe “white” means that he’s a white wizard, in other words, a good wizard.
Fawkes:
I looked this up the dictionary myself, and it actually had it in there…kinda. It had “Guy Fawkes” in the dictionary, and he was an English conspirator who was executed for his involvement in the Gunpowder Plot (1605), which was an attempt to blow up King James I and the Houses of Parliament with shells and fireworks. Since Fawkes is a phoenix, which according to mythology bursts into flames every hundred years or so, and then rises from its ashes to take the form of the phoenix once again. See the connection? Gunpowder, shells, fireworks and ashes, fire, flames???? Maybe JK Rowling named Fawkes after Guy Fawkes?
Filch, Argus:
Argus is a creature from Greek Mythology who has a hundred eyes and is very watchful. (Wow! So is our Argus, never misses a thing that happens at Hogwarts.) To filch is to steal (usually something small). That makes sense, Filch likes to take things from students who get in trouble, i.e. The Marauder Map.
Granger, Hermione:
J.K. Rowling says that she wanted Hermione (Her-my-uh-nee) to have an odd name so that real-life little girls who share the name Hermione wouldn`t be teased because they were know-it-alls.
Hagrid, Rubeus:
If you were “Hagrid” in old English, it means that you’re having a bad night. Since Hagrid is a big drinker, he must have had tons bad nights.
Hedwig:
In a recent interview, Mrs. Rowling said that Hedwig is the name of a medieval saint. Someone e-mailed me this very helpful site that has very good info on St. Hedwig. (Thanx!) St. Hedwig had seven children and was married several times. She cared for the sick and supported the poor. There’s a school named for her, this school provides education for abandoned and orphaned children. Do you see a connection here? Hedwig, the owl, cares for Harry who is orphaned, and this school named after St. Hedwig cares for the orphaned.
Hermes:
Percy`s owl, Hermes is also the name of the Greek messenger God to the Gods!
Knockturn Alley:
Knockturn Alley=nocturnally. Well, to be nocturnal is to be active during the night, so since many of the Dark Arts are performed during the night, it seems reasonble that JK Rowling named it Knockturn Alley. This is so cool! I discovered the definition of this myself!
Lockhart, Gilderoy:
Lockhart is an Australian town near Wagga Wagga, remember, Lockhart defeated a werewolf? “Composed a poem about my defeat of the Wagga Wagga Werewolf”
Lupin, Remus:
Stories said that there was a boy named Remus who was abandoned when he was just a baby, (aww) but was found by wolves who nursed him and raised him. Also Lupin means wolf-like in Latin.
Malfoy, Draco:
1.)In ancient Greek days, Draco was a cruel Athenian lawmaker. That’s how we get the expression “draconian laws”, meaning unnecessarily harsh laws. Also, ‘Mal foi’ means ‘bad faith’ in French.
2.)Draco in Latin means “Snake” or “Dragon” both of which are very devious creatures – A Dragon (in mythology) lulls you with it’s voice so you’ll tell it any thing and it will usually extract important secrets from you. Snakes – A serpent is the Slytherin mascot and snakes were evil and cunning creatures – A basilisk is a snake and it’s very deadly.
Malfoy, Narcissa:
(She’s the mother of Draco Malfoy) Her name is pretty similar to the term narcissism which means “self-love” or people who think that they are more important and superior than other people. So could this be a description of her character?
McGonagall, Minerva:
Minerva is the name of the Roman goddess of Wisdom. Can that mean that our strict transfiguration teacher is also wise???
Mirror of Erised:
“erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi” if you read the inscription backwards it’s “I show not your face but your heart’s desire” Neat huh?
Peeves:
To peeve is to irritate or annoy. (Doesn’t that sound like our Peeves, he sure does get on everyone’s nerves!)
Riddle, Marvolo Tom:
If you rearrange all the words in “Tom Marvolo Riddle”, you get…what else?? “I am Lord Voldemort”!!
Snape, Severus:
Severus, maybe he’s so severe to his students, (especially Harry) that J.K. Rowling named him Severus.
Sprout:
This is kinda obvious, she’s the Herbology professor who teaches about plants, which “sprout”.
Veritaserum:
In the fourth book, it was the potion that Snape threatened to use on Harry and Dumbledore also gave the potion to Mr. Crouch’s son at the end. Well, I did some research, I found that “Verity” means truth and “serum” means fluid. So Veritaserum is a fluid that makes people tell the truth. You get it?
Voldemort:
There are many rumors saying that the name Voldemort came from an evil wizard named Voldermortist, which means “Lord of Evil” or “Dark Lord”. They even went far on to say that Voldemort once tried to kill Merlin, but was caught and fed to a monster with many heads. -OR- Lord Voldemort may be taken from Edgar Allan Poe’s character M. Valdemar, who died under hypnosis and came back as a squishy mass of rotting flesh, which is what Voldermort was like, until he regained his human form in the 4th book.
NOTE: “Vol de mort” means “Flight of Death” in French. But…….J.K. Rowling said that she made the name up!
Weasley, Arthur :
Maybe J.K Rowling named him after King Arthur of Camelot???
Weasley, Ron :
Ron Weasley, in another language, is called “Running Weasel.” Running Weasel was a warlord in the 6th Dynasty. He was a stratigist, and never lost a game of chess!! (That sounds just like Ron!) Unfortunately, he died when a rat that had been dyed yellow (Scabbers!!) by his soldiers for fun, knocked over a lamp in his palace, burning it to the ground, and killing Running Weasel.
Charms
Accio:
Comes from the Latin word ‘accipio’ which means ‘receive’. Used to force an object to come to you.
Avada Kedavra:
Arabic for ‘let the things be destroyed’, led to the saying of Abra Kadabra. It’s one of the deadiliest curse known, causes the instant death of a living thing. It was the curse used by Voldemort to kill Harry’s parents. Here’s another explanation, Avada-could be a change from “Verde”, which is Green in Spanish. This would explain the green flash of light. Kedavra could be releated to the English word “Cedaverm” which is a dead body. Which would explain why they die when it’s cast.
Expecto Patronum:
It comes from the Latin word, “expecto”, which means to throw out, and “patronus” in Latin means guardian. So it literally means “throw out a guardian!”, hehe.
Expelliarmus (disarming charm):
‘expel’ means to force out, and ‘armus’ means arms or weapons. This curse forces the wand out of someone else’s hands.
Fidelius Charm:
Comes from the Latin word, “fidelus”, which means faithful and trustworthy. This spell is used to place a secret in another trusted person.
Lumos:
‘light’ in Latin. Used to ignite fire at the tip of one’s wand to provide light. Counter-charm of Nox.
Nox:
‘night’ in Latin. Used to extinguish fire at the tip of one’s wand. Counter-charm of Lumos.
Prior Incantatem:
‘prior’ means prior or previous in Latin, and ‘incantatem’ means spell in Latin, that makes sense because it’s used to reveal the previous spell casted by a wand.
Sonorus:
To have a sonorous voice is to have a voice that is powerful, impressive, full, and rich in quality. Although sonorus and sonorous are spelt differently, they mean the same thing. The ‘Sonorus’ charm is used to amplify one’s voice.
Wow, Just wow, Im copying this on to my fb page and deviant art page its brilliant 😀
There’s also a minor character named Verity!
You can’t pronounce “Slughorn”? Everyone I know above about 2 years old, or even younger, can pronounce “Slughorn”. How old are you? Because if you can’t pronounce Slughorn then you must be an imbecile.
WTF…. Harry Potter has the most unique names is book history. I mean ‘Bella’ ‘Edward ‘Jacob’ Those are names that aren’t unique, strange, or unusual. Luna, yeah her name sounds like loony, WELL THAT’S BECAUSE SHE IS LOONY!!!!!! Ronald, please is name maybe old fashion, but he is SEXY. And Harry, it’s a beautiful name and I would name my child Harry. These names are beautiful and crazy at the same time.
well, it’s sounds good in England, not in the U.S.
You are an idiot. Harry Potter names have a historical backround. Like Lupin, who was named after the ancient Roman wolf Lupa. Since when is Edward a sexy name? gag. Go have fun with your plain-jane named characters, twit.
And Remus is from Roman mythology. I wonder if maybe Remus Lupin had a brother called Romulus Lupin? XD
1-Hermione is a completely common english name. Just because it is not so commonly used in the US doesn’t mean it isn’t widely known in other parts of the world.
2- Firstly there are 1,136,830 people in the U.S. with the first name Ronald. It is statistically the 30th most popular first name. Secondly if you for some reason associate his name to ” Ronald McDonald?! ” it’s your fault because WEASLEY and MCDONALD are very different. Thirdly ” WTF! I mean seriously the name just brings to mind a creepy , burger-gulping ugly clown. EWWW! ” you are the only one who thinks that way. The rest of us think it is a completely perfect name, and the 1,136,830 parents who named their kids Ronald must think so too.
3- Harry Potter and ‘ Hairy Potty ‘ have very different pronunciations therefore there is no possibility to confuse them. Even i whom isn’t a native english speaker knows that. Besides Harry is a perfectly normal name having 392,496 people in the U.S. with it as their first name. Therefore it is statistically the 148th most popular first name in the US. How is it weird or disgusting?
4- As my pal previously mentioned Luna has a russian inheritance and has a russian name according to her family’s culture. Luna is a beautiful name meaning ‘moon’ in russian. Lovegood isn’t such an uncommon name as i, myself have a friend with ‘loven’ as her surname. In fact my own surnames (we have two in my country) have the same beginning : RUIZ DE villa RUIZ DE alda. Not common but real. And to conclude my point i don’t think you should go around accusing of some character’s names to be unrealistic and ‘stooopid’ when the main character in twilight names her daughter ‘Reneesme’. Such an incredibly realistic name. NOT. Oh and let’s not forget twilight’s main character actual name: bella swan, which means swans are beautiful. Yup very common and realistic.
5- Irrelevant, Slughorn, Quirinus and Severus are pronounceable names. ”And besides, with names like those, thats the sort of thing youd get beat up for. No wonders Snapes a loser and everyone hates him and hes ugly!!!!!” So you are basically saying that in your surname resides the power to be ugly or pretty, hated or loved and that, if it were to be the latter, being beat up would not only be understandable but also acceptable?So as your old posts state killing and torturing is bad but being beat up because you got a ”fucking creepy surname” is ok? wow.
6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13- If we are going to start making senseless connections between names and swearwords etc. we have a handful o make with twilight: Embry sounds like embryo, embryo’s are ugly, therefore Jacob’s little companion is ugly and should be beat up. Brady is similar to Brandy, omg! Stephenie Meyer is like totally inducing people to be alcoholics! see? doesn’t it bother you? because this is EXACTLY what you are doing. Creating the weirdest relations ever to insult a book because there is nothing else left that you could insult, as my fellow potter heads have already proven in your other post how HP totally OWNS twilight. So what was the only thing your pathetic childish mind could think of, instead of admitting you were wrong?; insulting the character’s names. Which has no relation whatsoever to how good the plot and values any book expresses.
Moreover names do not have to be common/normal/average or whatever in a book. You can have the weirdest most unpronounceable name if you want. Because it is your book, your characters and YOU name them. A book is a way of expressing yourself and if you desire to name your character with a certain name you should, because if you don’t, who will? … It’s funny how much you are attacking their names when they are not so important. The reason why Harry Potter has been such a success is because of it’s story, that story many of us have grown up with, that as we grew taught us about friendship, love, loyalty, pain, death, self-expression, hard work and self-respect.
I believe my review to be honest, judgmental and fair because to be true to you i have read the whole twilight saga too. When i compare them both i know what i am talking about. I started when only two books were out and read them when close to no one knew of them. But then they became world wide known and fans such as yourself completely destroyed those books. And now i am ashamed of saying i read and enjoyed them because i don’t want to be associated to people like you. They are very good and well written but honestly NOT EVEN CLOSE to harry potter.
So make me a favor. Stop writing nonsense and grab those books and read them through, once, twice, as many times as you need to get captivated by the magic.
Can I add to Meiko’s response?
!.Look Lovegood up in the phonebook. Where I live, there are about five Lovegoods.
2.”AND “serious” is even spelled wrong!!” I read your other posts. You spelled “seriously” wrong in every single one of them
3. Stephen King, one of the greatest authors EVER, said “Harry Potter is about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend.”
I made this short, so even you can read it.
Ooh hun, siriusly? The names in Harry potter mean things, are unique and fit the personality of the character, dumbledore means bumblebee ect… What is so good about the twilight names other than she copied most of them off Harry potter
The main character is called Isabella Swan, wich translates as Beautiful Swan … Really?! stephenie meyer couldn’t come up with a more meaning full name? especialy since she clearly isnt beautiful, beauty is about inperfections, those are what make you beautiful. Noone in Harry Potter is perfect and THAT is what make it beautiful!
p.s edward sounds like Squidward 🙂
Look, I respect your opinions, we all have them, but no one gave you the right to yack on this beautiful piece of literture. Have you read the series? Everything in there is crammed into a beautiful meaning. I read Twililight, and I got out of it was that girls need a perfect guy to live. Your points are invalid and rude, and when HP fans joke about Twilight, we are pretty much all kidding. It teachs how to cope with death, not teach that its ok to torture. Thats what the whole series is about!! Not to kill because of discrimination. I hope you come to your senses and realize that what your doing is wrong. You are saying that people need to stop hating on Twilight, and your doing the same to our reading preferences. Double Standard, anyone?? I want you to have a nice day, and smell the Roses, which is the beautiful name of a Weasley child!!!!
You rude, disrespectful idiot. My dad’s name is Ronald!
PS. Learn to spell.
Oh, and you think Hermione’s whiny? Look at that Bella idiot. Oh wahhh my boyfriend doesn’t like me, gonna jump off a cliff to see his faaacccceee.
-________- WTF. R U SERIOUS????
1. In Greek mythology, Hermione was a daughter of Menelaus and Helen. Whilst her parents were away fighting, Hermione was being raised by her aunt, Clytemnestra. Hermione is also a character in Shakespeare’s play “The Winter’s Tale”.
2. Ronald (Ron, son) is from the Scandinavian form of Reynold, meaning “advice ruler,” a leader who gives advice. It’s a perfect name. If you don’t like McDonalds, that’s your problem. Not everyone hates food like you.
3. HARRY IS A VERY COMMON NAME. Harry is a medieval English version of the name Henry, “ruler of the home.” It also can be a nickname for Harold, “army ruler.” Potter is a name derived from a trade practiced by an ancestor — far enough back, someone in the family line made earthenware items (compare to Smith or Cook). Rowling got his name from her nieghbours Ian and Vikki Potter when she was a child.
4. Duhh. If you had read the books, you would have known that luna was nicknamed Looy Lovegood. Luna means “Moon” in Latin (as well as in Italian, Russian, Spanish, Bulgarian and Romanian). People believed that the moon caused craziness, which may be why she’s the way she is. Her nickname, “Loony,” also references the moon and its ties with insanity, as it is short for “lunatic.”
Lovegood is a real surname and a compound word (Love and Good).
5. Yea. seriously, how is SLUGHORN har to pronounce. -___-
6. Rubeus, possibly from the Latin rubinus, “red.” Hagrid also may mean “hung over,” as from alcohol. He used to drink at pubs and stuff. and just becuase he’s a half giant doesn’t mean he’s ugly. -_____-
7. The name “Sirius Black” is a pun on his Animagus form of a black dog, as the star Sirius is known as the Dog Star, and is the brightest star in Canis Major, the Great Dog constellation. Sirius is derived from the Ancient Greek Σείριος, Seirios, meaning “glowing” or “scorcher”. In Arabic, the star is known as al-shira, “the leader”, and in Scandinavia, it has been referred to as Lokabrenna, meaning “Loki’s torch”. Loki was a trickster god in Norse mythology, a possible allusion to Sirius’ days of mischief-making as one of the Marauders. If you had taken astronomy, you would have at least known that Sirius is spelt that way and is a star. -___-
8. J. K. Rowling speculated that she might have subconsciously produced the name Hogwarts from the Hogwort plant she saw when walking round Kew Gardens. IT’S A FUCKING PLANT NAME. grow up.
9. His first name is from the Latin word alba, “white.” His last name, according to Rowling interviews, is Old English for “bumblebee.” In color symbolism, white often stands for purity, so the headmaster’s name suggests honor and a hard-working nature (“busy as a bee”).
10. Draco’s name, like those of many members of his maternal family, the House of Black, is derived from that of a constellation. Draco is also known as the Dragon; Draco translates into “dragon” in Latin and “serpent” in Greek. The constellation is connected to multiple legends in Greek mythology, most notably as symbolizing the hundred-headed dragon Hercules had to get past during his Twelve Labours, or the dragon killed by Cadmus before he founded the city of Thebes. In Roman legend, Draco the dragon was killed by the goddess of wisdom, Minerva, and tossed into the sky. Another connection with him being a Death Eater, is the fact that Lucifer/Satan is referenced as a Dragon in Christian Theology. In addition, Draco was the name of an Ancient Greek legislator whose laws were notoriously harsh. The word draconian, meaning “unusually severe or cruel”[15], is derived from his name. However this Ancient Greek legislator simply wrote down laws that were already in existence. These harsh laws were already in existence in an oral tradition. He did not actively try to change these laws as they were written down for the benefit of the common people. This mirrors Draco’s role as he introduces us to pure blood mania.
11. I’m not even going to keep arguing with you. I feel sorry for you, MUGGLE.
-VOLDEMORT OUT, BITCHES!
AND BTW. WTF WITH “RENESMEE”???? i meant. seriuosly. that is such a weird name. who would name their kid, just to be called “Nessie” -_____-
And in addition to Meiko’s response, since Bella Swn means beatuful sawn…. well. She’s more awkward than anything. -______-
P.S We had Robert Pattinson before any of you twi-shits did. And he smiled. And he wasn’t sparkly. In real life, Men who are sparkly are considered gay.
–Potterheads who want to blow your head and rid it of twilight.–
Thank you so much for making so much sense, like I”m sorry if Harry Potter doesn’t have such creative and highly common names like your precious Twilight saga.
Please stop talking before you embarrass yourself further.
Usually, I say that every one has a right to there own opinion but, really?? Just please try to be a little open minded about names in books. England is a totally different culture then in America.
It’s called CREATIVITY something S.MEYER does NOT have.
oh sweet Jesus I am British and because i am British does this make me a retard by your standards if so good on me because Britannia rules the waves yup we created the phenomenon that is Harry Potter which was written by a British word witch with a better name than i think Stephanie mayo, J.K Rowling for the win,you are such an american hillbilly enjoy your life in the bubble you call Twiglit (who
Amy Elizabeth says
did it again :L
George Graves says
i always thought was the cousin of piglet from Winnie the pooh, whos writer A.A. Milne was British.to) because you will burn in hell for being a Twihard.
Youre a fucking weirdo
You, miss are fucked up. Go have a life.
You are Ignorant.
Your not worth a rant.
F U, stupid Muggle.
Please, please, please for my mental health, GOOGLE THEIR MEANINGS. All the names have meanings. Google ’em, then have a re-think.
Stop trying to make Twilight sound better. Harry Potter has more imagination than all of the Twilight fans put together.
The person that wrote these is an idiot. Now stop with the harry potter is crap Sh*t. J.K.Rowling wrote masterpeices. Stephenie Meyer wrote books about her dreams and sexual fantasies.
Nuf Said.
P.s You can’t spell properly
DISS HAGRID AGAIN AND YOU BETTER RUN AND F*CKIN HIDE
And you dick. Its meant to be Sirius not ‘Serious’
And Jacob ‘Black’ is just a copy of Sirius ‘Black’ and if you try and say that Sirius is copy of Sirius then your a Dickhead!
Actually all the names in the Harry potter series have unique meanings behind them. The names can be references to people in history, some are derived from different languages, and others are based on people the author knew in her life. For example Salazer Slytherin is the evil man who was head of slytherin, he was based off an evil dictator in Spain named Salazar. See when you read Harry potter you also learn about history, unlike twilight when she just picked random names out of a hat!
‘Marvolo. IT sounds like an STD’
Ahahahahaha xD
You’re kinda funny, you know for a person like you.
Harry Potter names are well thought out and nice. Stupid muggle…
HA! you idiot!
1.Hermione is an awesome name. Nuff said.
2.Ron HATES the name Ronald. And why even think about Ronald McDonald?
3.Harry is a somewhat common name. So dont hate. And Potter is a BEAST last name. I’d love to have that last name.
4.Luna. Loony.Shes proud of being “loony” and doesnt yell at people for calling her that.
5.Yell, Sirius’ parents were stupid. And this is wizards we are talking about. And HE WAS A FREAKIN’ MARAUDER! THE COOLEST GUYS AT HOGWARTS!
6.Hogwarts is not meant to go with “Hogs with warts”. You idiot.
7.Draco means dragon in latin. Draco Malfoy: Dragon, Bad faith. He grew up with pureblood crazed maniacs. And hes frickin’ hott
8.A bunch of people would rather have the last name Weasley than Cullen
9.Yaxley is a surname
10.McNair: Scottish last name
11.Bellatrix:a star, female warrior in latin
next time, DO YOUR FRICKIN’ RESEARCH
To be fair what you’re writing is a load of shit, just because you don’t like Harry Potter it doesn’t mean you have to rip J.K Rowling’s writing to pieces, I’m pretty sure she’s got more money than you’ll ever have, so please shut the fuck up and get a fucking dictionary before insulting another book.
Congratulations – it’s the worst page in the whole Internet!
First, look at twilight names. Don’t insult Bellatrix – you have Bella. Edward is a traditional English name but Britain is stupid, therefore Edward must be. On to Harry Potter: the names are from the Wizarding World, it’s different and makes it all the more magical. If all characters had ordinary names, how would we remember them?
1. Hermione is a lovely name and everyone knows you’re talking about Harry Potter when you mention her, unlike Edward and Jacob.
2. Here in England, we aren’t as food-oriented as America so we don’t associate Ron Weasley with a representative of a fast food company. Also, I’m pretty sure J.K. Rowling didn’t name Ron after Ronald McDonald.
3. Harry is a perfectly normal name. Don’t make pathetic excuses to hate the books. Edward is shortened to Ed which rhymes with bed and sex is unacceptable for little children to think about.
4. Luna is Russian, as already mentioned. Also, Luna is a little strange which is mentioned in the books.
5. Who is Quirinus? Slughorn is easy to say.
6. Hagrid is his surname, have you never met someone with a strange surname? By the way Bella sounds like Belladonna which is poisonous.
7. Sirius, not serious, SIRIUS. It’s the name of the dog star, the brightest star in the sky. He can transform into a dog. Jacob doesn’t relate to a wolf at all. Sirius Black is also a foretelling of his life – the brightest star black. He lost everything in life – his light went out.
8. Already mentioned.
9. Dumbledore wasn’t dumb though, was he?
10. Draco like dragon. Draco is a bad character, he’s not going to be called the Latin for cute fluffy rabbit, is he?
11. What STD do you have??
12. Perfectly normal.
Really? Names? That’s all you have? Pathetic.
Quirinus is Professor Quirrell’s first name.
LOL, atleast we dont copy of peoples names, SIRIUS BLACK… JACOB BLACK? bitch needs to get her own ideas.
You are such a fucking moron. Im amazed you were able to type this without your brain blowing out of your ears, actually, one can barely call it typing. Everyone here in the comments have done a great job of proving you wrong, I just wanted to say you are an idiot. Hate on Harry Potter if you wish, but don’t do it with shit grammar and spelling, and with stupid dumb-ass reasons. Oh yeah, and don’t fucking say twilight is better, Harry Potter is a worldwide phenomenon that has lasted over a decade, Twilight will never be like that, and will never ever affect so many people, of all ages and ethnicities.
Look. It’s me again. I’m here to blow off.
Let’s look at Harry Potter names.
They are UNIQUE. They are DIFFERENT. They have MEANING.
Now, Let’s look at Twilight Names.
They are NORMAL. They aren’t UNIQUE. They only have VAIN meaning.
J.K. Rowling did careful research.
Stephanie Meyer flipped open a book and jabbed at him.
-.-
Point seen?
are you a 5 year old girl?
personly i love there names and HP has a real message it shouldnt matter what there names are
This girl is retarded. A complete goner. Kid, your priorities in life are SO wrong. I actually feel bad for you.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHHAHA you are such an idiot. You should get a bloody AWARD! all the names in HP have meanings that go with their personalities, not just pulled out of the blue like the ones in your precious TWILIGHT. Also, most of the names IN twilight were FIRST featured in HP, as the names of MUCH better and more INTERESTING characters (james, bella, etc.). Our Black family is an ancient, noble wizard family dating back to pre-latin times. yours Black family are a couple of middle-class noobs on a rez. I could pull of TONS of other name/character parallels that twilight stole from HP, completely RUINING them in the process. I could go on, but I’d only confuse your tiny, muddled brain.
Right. Okay.
FIRST of all – get a dictionary. Learn to spell. You cannot criticise other people’s writing whilst in fact being basically cap at it yourself.
SECONDLY, if you’d bothered to look into it, you’d know that most of the names mean something in Latin, something about their character. Who wants an ordinary name?
Hermione is a Greek name, so that’s kind of insulting to the Greeks to say it’s a stupid name. In their language, it doesn’t sound like “whiny”. In fact, it doesn’t in English. You’re just picking holes.
THIRDLY, have you not noticed how half the names in twilight are similar to harry potter ones? Bella and Bellatrix? Jacob Black is a werewolf. Sirius Black is an animagus who turns into a dog.
A FOURTH THING – harry is not an unusual name. And Ronald? For goodness’ sake, it’s only slightly strange. McDonald’s didn’t INVENT that name! They chose it because it RHYMED!
Please, bitch. Get your facts straight before you criticise. I used to like both twilight and harry potter, but it’s people like you who have put me off.
1. Shakespeare?
2. The name Ronald was around long before McDonald’s. Don’t be ridiculous.
3. Completely normal name, short for Harold. A little old-fashioned? Perhaps, but your reasoning is so flimsy and just terrible in general.
4. Luna’s crazy, that’s the point. It’s also the name of the moon, which has been a symbol of insanity.
5. Not even dignifying that with a response hahaha.
6. … or that one. These are moronic.
7. Sirius is characterised as a dog like character. Yes- characterization, something that you wouldn’t find in a twilight rag. Sirius is the dog star. It’s not the expression, you sheltered moron.
8. … yeah I’m just to stop, the guy above me’s got it. These are so dumb.
JK Rowling actually took the time to pick names that match their personality based on russian, latin, german, swedish, arabic, etc books and historical landmarks and characters. Meyer just took one look at babynames.com and picked random names that were popular for 2007.
Bitch, sit yo ass down. NOW. Okay I have no fucking Idea if your trolling or if you’re even that arrogant.
Basically:
Hermione is not a weird name. Many people are called Hermione, why my friend’s friend is Called hermione.
Ronald, is a completely normal, and if that name constantly reminds of of Ronald Mcdonald, than you must have a thing for Mcdonalds.
Harry: Around 307475 US males are named Harry. It’s not ridiculous. It is very popular.
Luna: Luna means moon in Italian and Russian, so how the fuck is that weird? And yes she has a bright personality beats yours, which would explain why you like twilight so much.
Slughorn Severus *Quirrell : HOW CAN YOU NOT PRONOUNCE THAT?!
Sirius: Is a name of a star.
Hogwarts is unique, unlike Meyer who doesn’t have enough creativity had to settle for a place called forks.
Dumbledore: Means bumblebee, look it up.
Draco: Means dragon/snake/lizard, it fits his family as they are ancestors of Salazar Slytherin. Who had a thing for snakes.
Marvolo: Does not sound like an STD. How is it weird when Jacob falls in love with a baby.
Weasly: Is actually a common surname.
Yaxley is a surname, many people have it.
Mcnair- Not sure.
Bellatrix- Means star in Latin. Is it weird compared to Renesmee? I don’t think so, it just sounds like Meyer got the first names that popped into mind and decided to squish them together.
So please just think before you open that mouth of yours. Potterheads ALWAYS woop yo ass.
The only thing you’ll get from this page are HP lovers. I hope you know that. And you’re ruining the image of Twilight. Harry Potter fans go after Twilight because of dumbasses like you. Your smearing the name of all Twilight fans because you say stupid shit that makes no sense. Stop bashing Harry Potter. You may not like it but you have no right to bash it.
Oh and just a reminder; Harry Potter is considered a classic now. Twilight is just a stupid passing fad that will die out quickly.
Oh, and JK’s names have meanings and symbolism behind them, occult things that enriches and increases the complexity of the characters’ personalities. As for Meyer… Right, Bella Swan is a beautiful swan, great, changed my life.
the name Lizzie sucks too! eugh the same name as my sister! who would want THAT?!! :O
Could you please explain how Renesmee is not a weird name?
P.S. Your a retard
Fk you, Just, WTF IS WRONG WITH YOUR LIVES?!? TWILIGHT IS SHYT. ONLY TEACHES YOU HOW NOT USING A CONDOM WORKS. FAKIN’ GAY -.-
1) Hermione Is a normal name, MY name is weirder than that. Zada.
2)Ronald is a perfectly good name, though I prefer Dimitri or Devan.
3) Harry is a normal name in America as well as Britain. ‘Harry & The Hendersons’?
4) Luna means Moon in Spanish, dipstick. And Luna is Loony. You don’t know the half of it. It’s why we love her.
5) Here, lemme help you. Slughorn – Slug. Horn.
Quirinus – Kwer. In. Us.
Don’t you DARE insult the name Severus! Sev-ur-us. Severus is not ugly, and that’s not why James Insufferable Potter picked on him. It was because they were both in love with the same girl and Sev was smarter than most of the student body.
6) Hagrid isn’t a bad name. He looks the way he does because he’s half giant! A Hag, is an insufferable old woman.
7) Sirius is a name, and it’s not spelled wrong. Sirius Black is the best Black you’ll ever get.
8)Hogwarts is meant to be a funny name.
9)Albus Dumbledore. Dumbledore is a common name in Britain too. I have a friend in Britain with that last name.
10) Draco MEANS Dragon. His father probably wanted Draco to be feared, and gave him a name that means one of the most feared mythical creatures in the world.
11) Marvolo. So? It’s common also.
12) Weasley is probably better than your last name.
13)Yaxley is meant to sound like *AXE. and an Axe is a weapon.
Mcnair. Scottish.
Our Bella, Bellatrix, has done more than your Bella ever will. Bellatrix is a female warrior, and a star.
Our Bellatrix could withstand more than your Isabella. When Edward left, Bella curled up on the forest floor. When Edward was gone, Bella did nothing for Months on end.
Bellatrix was obviously in love with Voldemort, and when she realized he’d never love her back, what did she do? Fought harder, became fiercer, and remained faithful to the end.
The Alliteration doesn’t matter, that’s a stupid reason to dislike the names.
1. JK didn’t want any girl to made fun. She was being selfless & thoughtful to create the beautiful name of Hermione. It’s a play on Hermes, the greek got so it’s not too strange.
2. Ron – COMMON NAME!!! I’ve heard of a lot of Rons. Plus he’s our king.
Weasley – As in a unique last name to make them stand out as muggle lovers & red heads.
3. Harry Potter is a common name. There are four Harry Potters that JK has heard of including one who fought in WW11.
4. Luna. Like the moon. It’s a beautiful name. Italian names are often beautiful. Lovegood. LOVE IS ALWAYS GOOD!! You’re such a bland sheep. BAHHHH Go chew some prosthetic grass and get shaved.
5. Say it with me class. Slug-Horn. PERFECTLY PRONOUNCEABLE!!!! Sev-er-us..Once again PERFECTLY PRONOUNCEABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quir-In-Nus. Go back to elementary school & learn how to pronounce words & quit being so fucking lazy!!
6. & I bet you’re just beautiful *sarcasm
7. Sirius spelled that way is a star… Have you never heard of Canis Minor or Canis Major?!! Sirius is called the dog star. Sirius Black turned into a black dog… His name was a play on words…You’re a siriusly dimwitted person..
8. Hogwarts is a unique name. When you hear ‘Hogwarts’ you only think of Harry Potter’s world..Unlike Lincoln Middle.. There are about 12 hundred of them in the US….-_-
9. Dumbledore was an old English word for bumblebee. Rowling used ’cause she pictured him walking about humming to himself which coincidentally is how I imagined him. You’re such a prejudged two-faced hypocritical bitch. Please go somewhere and never come back.
10. & I thought all Harry Potter characters were ugly. Draco is Latin for dragon. As in the fire-breathing reptiles that kick ass.
11. You WOULD automatically think ‘STD’…You’re so messed up. For your information, Marvolo is close to the Latin word meaning ill willed. Also, the great William Shakespeare used a similar name in one of his great plays.
12. I’d rather be a Weasly than a Cullen. Arthur Weasley (The dad) got bitten by a gigantic snake & lived to tell the tale. Molly Weasley (The mom) freaking killed Bellatrix, Voldemort’s best & last lieutenant. Bill Weasley (The eldest) married the prettiest girl & kept her love after getting attack by a ferocious werewolf. They are obviously the new Beauty & the Beast. Charlie Weasley (second eldest) freaking works with Dragons. He deserves some epic with his win. Percy followed his dreams even if he made mistakes. If anything his mistakes show us that no on is perfect. Fred & George are twins. Double the trouble. They’re like epic pranksters who are supermegafoxyawesomehot…Ron’s our king. OUR KING!!! Ginny is a Weasley GIRL!! She’s epic just by being a girl..
13. Basically every name in Harry Potter is unique and beautiful. Given some names in Twilight are cool, none have that je ne sais quoi about them…
I’m sorry I wasted the couple of minutes on this that I did. You are obviously a muggle & a complete fail of a person. Please go away & never come back. Muerre pinche puta.
Stupid Muggles.
This would be perfect!! Except that Hermione was a character in a Shakespeare play and JK borrowed it.
LOL. Thanks for giving me a laugh today. (At you, not with you.)
So Carlisle and Reneesme aren’t weird names?
BTW, it’s called SPELL-CHECK.
You know , you’re right ! But everyone would think you’re really right if YOU KNEW HOW TO SPELL CORRECTLY !!! Harry Potter kicked Twilight’s ass in best movie polls ! Even that one poll when it’s just Twilight and Harry Potter we won ! And best couples ? Ron and Hermione ! Romione !
Bitch …. please !
I mean SIRIUSLY !
AND ! , I see you don’t have all kinds of pages Facebook promoting Twilight ! Harry Potter has about 500 pages and everyday 5 more pages join !
And Harry Potter names actually mean something ! So what about Bella ,Edward , and Jacob ? They are stolen ! They have regular names ! My real name is Yohanna Sophia Lian Echavia ! Does that sound ‘unpronounceable’ ? Yohanna , a very uncommon name ! But who cares ? I bet theres only one Yohanna Echavia in the whole world ! And Lian ! I have searched that name and all the traces lead to ME !
I don’t know why you think sparkling fairy princess are cool . Because …
Your Edward Cullen used to be OUR Cedric Diggory !
And even though Harry Potter is done it doesn’t really leave . It’s always here , in our hearts …
1. Hermione is a Shakespearean name. Queen Hermione is a character in A Winter’s Tale written by William Shakespeare, but then if I’m honest regarding your level of literacy you probably don’t even know who William Shakespeare is.
2. I’m pretty sure J.K. didn’t name him after Ronald McDonald.
3. Harry is a very common and normal name.
4. Luna means moon. And what you said about it sounding like “loony” – J.K. makes a reference to that in the book as most characters call her ‘Loony Lovegood’
5. At least they’re original, not like the millions of Jessicas, Isabellas, Edwards, Jacobs, Angelas, Alices, Jaspers and Mikes. Go and find me at least 10 people with the names Dorcas, Bellatrix, Lucius, Rowena, Salazar, Minerva, Remus, Nymphadora, Ginevra, Xenophilius, Albus, Severus, Sirius, Astoria, Elladora, Cygnus, Abraxas, Andromeda etc. Go ahead, I dare you.
6. And Volturi sounds like “vulture” what’s your point? My point is that both names were probably intended to make you think of those words.
7. Sirius is a star you moron. Nicknamed the ‘dog star’ yet another pun from J.K.
8. Missing this one out because it’s just idiotic.
9. Dumbledore is an old english word meaning ‘bumblebee’
10. Draco means dragon.
you are AWESOME!
Not sure if trolling…. or just stupid
Don’t you DARE insult Snape! If you read the last book or saw the last movie you would know he is a million times better than your beloved edikins, because Snape loves a girl and he STAYS and protects her, and her kid with another man, and he DIES for love. All the characters in Harry Potter have full personalities, flaws that make them better, and they OVERCOME painful pasts, like most people. I’m sorry if they aren’t all like your amazingly “flawless” and Adois Nazi-esk ideals, but guess what, NO ONE F-ING IS. The names are quarky, interesting, funny, and creative. It isn’t supposed to be taken as real life names from the muggle world because they aren’t supposed to be from our type of life. I suppose you would insult any forgien names. “OMG, ASLAUG is such a weird name. I mean it has slaug in it and that is like kind of like the word slug. Ew.” (I’m sorry I didn’t leave in the spelling errors like yours. Didn’t have the heart to mess up writing that bad.)
P.S I find it amazingly insulting that you would say that the name Dumbledoor was gross because it had the word dumb in it. Grow up and get a life that doesn’t involve hating other people that aren’t fictional.
Obviously you have some form of mental disability
Harry potter names are unique
Twilight names, Bella for example are so common and have no meaning what so ever
So before you ever even try to offend Harry potter (which should be made illegal) you should seriously get your facts straight
Harry potter is the end of an era
Twilight is the end of an error
Ps you are the stupidest butt trumpet I have ever care to meet
HARRY POTTER FTW
Harry Potter Names Sucks??
Twilight had very common names with no meaning -.-
And please before you rant of with stupid things, don’t compare the two series because they are both unique on their own. Some of the names from the HP series came from Latin and Old English and don’t be an ignorant buffoon, research the names first before you besmirch them with your horrible nonsense. Harry is a very common name and it means Home Ruler. Hermione’s name came from Greek mythology, it was the name of Helen of Troy’s daughter. Severus’ and Lucius’ came from Roman Emperors (Septimius Severus and Lucius Aurelius Commodus). Luna is latin for moon. Bellatrix which is the name of one of the stars in Orion’s belt means female warrior in latin. Draco is latin for Dragon. Sirius name came from the white dwarf star and in Greek it means “glowing” and it was also known as the dog star in relation to the constellation Canis Major. Dumbledore is an Old English term for bumblebee. At least JK Rowling instills uniqueness in her characters name.
I am going to ask you this. Stephanie Meyer has a character name Seth.
Do you know that Seth is an Ancient Egyptian God of Evil and Mischief, who dismembered his brother Osiris?
What the f@ck? If Hp names suck why does the Toilet series keep taker our names?
LOL and Renesmee is normal?
Y’ wanna know why they’re unusual names and apparently ‘suck’ according to you?
Because they’re names from the magic world not from our word you moron!!!!!!!
In response to this:
1. Fuck off.
2. Fuck off.
3. Fuck off.
4. Fuck off.
5. Slughorn is pronouncable. Quirinus and Severus are pretty much Latin to some form. Fuck off.
6. Fuck off.
7. Fuck off. Sirius is named after a STAR you daft dimbo! And he never got beaten up.
8. Fuck off.
9. Dumbledore is old english for bumble bee, so fuck off.
10. That’s because it’s Latin for dragon you dimwit!
11. I bet your name sounds like an STD. Marvolo is a cool name. Fuck off.
12. It’s cooler than Renesmee Carlie Cullen.
13. All the names are better than all the Twilighters names.
Yaxley – he’s evil so it should sound like axe.
McNair – no, it doesn’t sound like the hair removal cream. That’s Noire, I think…
Bellatrix – coolest. Name. Ever.
Alliteration is cool.
And did I mention? Fuck. Off. ^_^
no the hair stuff is called Nair
“Harry sounds like hairy Ewwwwwwwww” Are you an idiot. Jacob is a fucking wolf who is covered in fucking hair you idiot
Why i really hate the person who wrote this:1: “unpornouncable” “RELLY” “uglyer” your spellings are a pile of horse crap!
2: Edward sounds a lot like the gay band “Jedward.”
3: Bella can go shove her name up her a**
4: Jacob is a love sick girl
5: You can shove this blog up stephnie meyer sparkling ass
PEACE!
Why I really hate the who wrote this:
1. “unpornouncable” “RELLY” “DUM” “wird” ^_- You daft bimbo go back to elementary school. Your spellings are a pile of horse shit!
2: Edward sounds like the gay band “Jedward”

4: Jacob is a love sick confused girl!
5: You can go take your blog and stuff it up stephnie meyers sparkling ass!
Peace!
Well, i’m not surprised you can’t pronounce the names of harry potter characters, i mean to pronounce a word you should be able to spell it! what the hell kind of a name is Volturi, or carlisle, or most of the volturi guard, or renesmee?????
GOD! you’re such a hypocrite!
You are moronic. No, how do you say it? Stoopid? Learn to spell, and if you’re going to be a bitch, think of better ways. You can’t like Draco but insist that his name is stupid. You either hate him, or you don’t. And if it’s so gross to you, DON’T FUCKING READ IT THEN! It is simple.
Dunno if trolling or just stupid.
Hi Lizzie, or Bella, or whatever you call yourself,
Please keep writing these. You’re very funny, and creative. I mean, you’re also incredibly stupid, and misinterpret half the meanings of the books, but still, it’s entertaining.
As any decent person knows, it’s impolite and impractical to judge others by their name. Perhaps your parents never taught you this, but judging people by their name provides no insight into their character. As you said, Hermione does indeed rhyme with “whiny”, however she is the very opposite, and is far more brilliant than you could ever hope to be.
I don’t judge you by your name, Lizzie, I judge you by what you write, and your campaign against Harry Potter says a lot. No matter what fandom you support, or oppose, anyone who takes the time to rant against other fandoms seems rather obsessed. Also, anyone who spells so many words wrong, and gets so many facts incorrect could not be too highly educated.
Enjoy life, and keep up the mediocre work!
Perhaps someday you’ll spell ‘unpronounceable’ correctly, or get a fact right, and realize that ‘Quirinus’ is not a character (it’s either Quirrel, or Remus, not a mix of the two), or that creativity is not a crime.
Love Always,
Travis, of Potterites United
She knows Quirinus? That’s one of the most obscure names in the series (maybe just for me). This goes along with the whole “conspiracy” that Sirius is secretly kidnapped by Stephenie Meyer and is trying to convey a hidden message. Siriusly.
WTF!!!! Harry Potter at least has ORIGINAL, INTERESTING names!!!!! Twilight has boring, plain names for boring characters. JK Rowling gave them those names for a reason. Draco is meant to be not very nice, luna is meant to be weird, ronald is like harold, European names. sirius is the name of a star- also known as THE DOG STAR!!! and sirius can turn into a dog!!! What does the twilight names say about the characters? Beautiful Bella? I think not….
And also, have you ever heard of alliteration? Severus Snape? He is a cold, sarcastic character, who is in slithery and is sneaky. He is one of the best characters in HP!!!!
I meant slytheryn when i said slithery
For you to hate Harry Potter so much, you sure do seem to know a whole lot about it.
1) Hermione is a common English name.
2) Ronald is also a common English name.
3) Harry is an extremely common name – in both England and America. Just a statistic for you, Harry is the 148th most popular name in the USA.
4) Luna just means moon – it’s a pretty cute name in my opinion. As for Lovegood, there are loads of different surnames out there – it’s called being imaginative, which Harry Potter is very much.
5) Oh yes, Slughorn is so extremely hard to pronounce. Two words you learn when your four, and yet it’s so very hard to say. And, I’d just like to say, I and many other people can pronounce those names with ease.
6) Hagrid sounds like hag? Honestly, it’s got the same beginning, that’s all. Words that sound the same as you put it, are, for example, too and two, flour and flower.
7) Sirius is a constellation. It is in no way named after the word serious. Also, Sirius was one of the most popular boys at school, he wasn’t beat up.
8) It was named after a plant. It’s an imaginative name. Where does Bella go? Oh yeah, Forkes High School … interesting.
9) It means Bumblebee in old English, and it describes how Dumbledore was a great, exciting Wizard. It’s in no way gross. And that joke was pathetic, no offence.
10) The Black Family, who Draco was related to, had a tradition of naming their offspring after constellations, and they also regularly used Latin names. Draco does mean dragon, however.
11) I believe Marvolo was a creative name, so Tom Marvolo Riddle could be changed into I am Lord Voldemort. It may have been a popular name during the 15 – 18 hundreds. I’m not sure.
12) Weasley sounds like Weasel because J.K Rowling likes weasels.
13) I disagree.
Yaxley sounds nothing like AXE ew?
Macnair is a Scottish surname. Hogwarts is in Scotland, and therefore, that means Wizards could come from Scotland.
Bellatrix is Latin for female warrior. It is also a star.
Jacob and Bella are some of the common, boring names ever. Look at any list of popular names and I assure you, they will be there. And I agree with above. Reneesme? What’s wrong with calling a child Renee Esme, or Esme Renee?
These names are all very unique? Go onto mugglenet and look them up. Only a very smart person could have came up with these. I suppose you’d like names like Jennifer and Jessica, that are so unoriginal?
Spelling mistakes you made:
Far far far too many to list. What age are you? Five?
And yes, ‘Luna’ is like ‘looney which adds to her crazy factor’ I think Jk Rowling meant to do this?!
I don’t think she meant to spell ‘Sirius’ as ‘Serious’?
You are an actual wee creep!
And for your information you immature prat, I am a twilight fan also, but it in actual fact, is not as well written and is the worse of the two series’.
Read the Harry Potter’s before you judge them.
Oh my God, this was so funny to read. You failed, by the way.
I’m sorry that you can’t pronounce “Slug-Horn”. It’s not that hard, sweetie.
And I’m so very sorry that not all books have boring names like in Twilight. Not everyone’s last name can be something easy like “Swan.”
And though you say that you read the Harry Potter books, I just found so many things incorrect in those few paragraphs that I’m just going to have to settle with the fact that you’re illiteret.
And I read the Twilight books, by the way. Worst mistake I’ve EVER made.
I have one word for you “Rennesmee”.
Okay so these names with beautiful meanings are crappy in comparison to RENEESME which is COMPLETELY MADE UP. There is no history or meaning behind that name, she made it up. We already have someone who let you know all of the meanings for the Harry Potter names, but really of all the things to complain about it’s the NAMES?!
Actually Harry potter names have thought behind them. The only name in twilight that could possibley have any thought put into it bella which means beautiful swan which could foreshadow her transformation into a vampire in the final book.
At least the’re original. What’s the best Smeyer could come up with? Bella, Jacob? Edward? No points for creativity and at least J.K Rowling makes an effort
You watch your mouth. For your information, those twilight names are not half as good as those of Harry Potter. I mean seriously, maybe you should google those Harry Potter names before you lambaste them. They actually have meanings that connect to their character. Of course you wouldn’t know that, you judgmental hater.
Just to give you a heads up, Luna in Latin is Moon. In no way does it mean loopy… Plus most names in there are British. Oh and for your information your leading “man” is from England and Edward (whatever the heck that is supposed to mean) and most of the other characters in the book all have British names in case you didn’t know. Don’t be hating on the British names. They have names like that because they are original not like Edward and Bella. Ive heard them way too many times. Also, JK Rowling chose her names for her characters purposefully. There’s a reason behind them. Did Stephanie Meyer do that? I don’t think so. Dumbledore means bumblebee. Draco means dragon. BTW it’s Quirrel not Quirrius. Severus means severe. Obviously Hermione is smarter than you will ever be. Hogwarts is a name that will stick in your head forever. Once someone says that, you know they will be talking about Harry Potter. I think you forgot Hogsmeade. Part of the name is an alcoholic drink. Just like butterbeer. Yummy. Get it right. LUV U……………………… cough cough not.
This better be a joke, right??? I was actually laughing at your ignorance.
Jk rowling chooses those names for a reason. She doesn’t do it because she wants to make a joke with silly names. She gives them those names for a reason. Unlike Stephanie Meyer, JK Rowling was educated in latin and ancient greek. The names are named after things, like sirius after the dog star, draco after a dragon serpent, luna for moon ( she is quite dreamy), severus snape is alliteration, because snape is sneaky and likes to smirk. Many of the names you mentioned are normal names. Hermione, ronald, harry, marvel. And yaxly and weasly are common see names. McNair is scottish. May I remind you what the main of twilight is called? There is nothing wrong with the name bellatrix. Bellatrix is the same name as Bella. (but it sounds cooler, and she’s more awesome). Jk Rowling also uses latin names for herbs and potions. Felix Felicis” means “liquid luck”.
And may I remind you that Edward is in fact a Brittish name? there have been around ?6? king edwards of england. Jacob, Bella and Edward are all boring, unoriginal names. It tells you nothing about their personalities. At least Jk Rowling can think of some interesting, original names.
Harry Potter – Unique, cool names
Twilight – Boring, Generic names
You baffle me with how incredibly stupid you are, and how low you truly have stooped with this. I wish there was a dislike button on this page. I would go on a huge rant about how much I disagree, but that would drive me insane with you probably not listening. Just please go read this: http://www.facebook.com/notes/the-7-hp-books-are-my-7-horcruxes-without-them-i-wouldnt-have-a-life/another-rebuttal-of-the-same-unfortunate-troll-harry-potter-names-suck/241785679225363
Also, at least learn some basic computer skills, SPELL CHECK AT LEAST!
I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I am totally baffled, and just plain pissed off by yours.
Wow. You really are stupid! And you HAD to go post this on my birthday!
Just a few things I’d like to say 🙂
1. I had 4 Harry’s in my class at one stage with 5 others in my year group.
2. Any Harry Potter name would be better then yours!!!
Please…for the love of all things… stop pointing out every little detail in the Harry Potter series that you are too immature to handle. I don’t mean to call you immature rudely or anything (I honestly don’t), but you’re purposely trying to find a fault with anything in the series whether it makes sense or not (I’m still waiting for one that makes sense). I hope one day you realize that this is the world and there is more than one race and people with different names. You’ll have to end up living with diversity and differences in the world.
…Uh?
So Renesmee is a good name…?
Honestly, this is hilarious :’ )
please tell me, you’re not serious! Otherwise I really feel sorry for you. and recommend you to get up and get a life instead of just ranting and raving about names. The point is: Harry Potter was never meant to be realistic- Twilight acts as if it is.
The quality of books aren’t based on just the names. Just saying.
I’m guessing you probably wouldn’t even touch a book about an African American village or a Hispanic family, huh… Considering their names are sooooo much weirder than British names….
I beg to differ. The names are quite in character. People like Sirius and Draco come from old-fashioned families. Of course they have strange names! Sirius is named after the dog star. It’s supposed to be spelled that way. J. K. Rowling leaves clues about people in their names. For instance, Remus Lupin is a werewolf. A lot of the names are based in latin.they are interesting and make the characters memorable.
just bcos u dont hv brains pls stop insulting gr8 works like HP!!!
Also on the subject of alliteration names:
Wil Wheaton, an American voice Actor.
Julian Johan, Herman Hyman, Thomas Talbot, Tom Thomas~some friends of mine with alliteration names.
Other names you may find hard to believe:
Holda Tormond, Krissie Wakley(boy), Shelby Courtland(boy), Guinevere Patterson, Miguel Tomalvi, Langston Dennis, Giles Hildebrand, Hildebrand Jotham, Al Long, Butch Everdeen, Dicky-Caste Ingram, Naharmathadad Roth, Ronnie Filmore(girl), Jaimie Walterzon, Toby Zed, Niamh Grounds, Effie Freeman, Sandra-mae Cleaver, Mae Moore, Phoenix Potter, Harry Mac, Hamish Cruickshanks, Bethel Hyman, Bloodwyn Travavska, Duong Tan Lin, Ekaterina Gillen.
More names of my friends. Thought it would interest you how many first and last names can be considered odd, or a combination of the two, yet still be around. Please, feel free to pick out the freaky names here and the faults with them.
Also, Herman’s friend, Danica McNair.
Severus Septimus~Roman emperor omitted from most history books due to racial discrimination.
Hynden Walch, an American voice actress. Khary Payton, voice actor, Yuri Lowenthal, Russi taylor, Michael Rosenbaum, and quite a few surnames from the Young Justice voice actors.
sounds like ax? You mean ‘axe’ or ‘yack’?
Rosjna Travavska, Chola Travavska, Bloodwyn’s brother and sister. Rosjna is pronounced without the J. Well, like ‘rossnya’.
Isaiah Beron. Rhiannon ‘Ritzi’ Courtland.(shelby’s sister, girlfriend of Langston)
Remus, Fiona, Megan and Olivette Logan. Meg is a friend of mine and those are her siblings. Remus is very significant to the subject of your blog.
And also,go suck Jacob’s dick.oh wait,he’s gay.
Hey…you haven’t written in awhile
You’ve done such a great job of trolling, I mean no one can actually think like this 😛 so congrats. I mean really, really great job. I applaud you *claps*. These troll blogs are great, so write soon. We miss you 🙂
Dear God. Your grammar is atrocious in this and your logic is invalid. You sound like you’re twelve. Oh, wait. You probably are.
Dude really? Twilight fans that say Harry Potter Sucks,
Ever realize there’s no movie that says “Wizards Suck”?
Sincerely,
See What I Did There?
They say that a thousand monkeys could, if given typewriters, eventually produce the works of Shakespeare.
It took four monkeys thirty minutes to produce Twilight.
YOU UGLY TWITCH!!
Oh, look. Did you learn some new words from school? I wouldn’t imagine you’d pay attention in english class — with all your spelling and grammar errors, I suppose you definitely wouldn’t.
Everything you have said does not defend twilight, it only attempts to ruin HP. And if that is all you can do then you must not have enough brainpower to think of anything. You only show your ignorance and your over-rated view of what names sound like and s*** like that. Have you not taken into account that these names meant something. Life isn’t just, “OMG, Bella is like such a pretty name. It’s like… so ITALIAN. Uhh! I wish my name was something awesome like that.”
Oh wait, I’m so sorry. Let me translate the above passages into a language you will more clearly understand:
OMG, HP is so not “uglyer” than twilight. It’s like totally awesome. Do you like gets me girlfriend? If not then u r sooo not coool enough. Barf!!!
“What kind of name is Hermione?” Wonderful! 😀
The irony of this blog is genius!
I also like the spelling “siriusly”. 😉
I found meanings very easily to the majority of the names you had found “suck-ish”, “wierd”, and “gross”. Proving to you that they aren’t as strange as you believe. They were also all on official naming sites, except for Hogwarts which I did a little venturing through interviews of the author.
1. Hermoine: Greek Mythology. Derived from the name of the Greek messenger god HERMES. In Greek myth Hermione was the daughter of Menelaus and Helen. This is also the name of the wife of Leontes in Shakespeare’s play ‘The Winter’s Tale’ (1610).
2. Ronald: Scottish, English. Scottish form of RAGNVALDR, a name introduced to Scotland by Scandinavian settlers and invaders. It became popular outside Scotland during the 20th century. A famous bearer was American actor and president Ronald Reagan (1911-2004).
3. Harry: English. Medieval English form of HENRY. In modern times it is used as a diminutive of both Henry and HAROLD. A famous bearer was American president Harry S. Truman (1884-1972). It is also the name of the boy wizard in J. K. Rowling’s ‘Harry Potter’ series of books, first released in 1997.
4. Luna: Roman Mythology. Means “the moon” in Latin. Luna was the Roman goddess of the moon, frequently depicted driving a white chariot through the sky. Popularity: United States ranked 343, Spain ranked 86, Slovenia ranked 86, Croatia ranked 65, Denmark ranked 45, France ranked 43, Netherlands ranked 31 and Belgium ranked 12.
So you see, Luna seems to be a very popular name, especially in AMERICA where you say that it sound’s like Loony. Well yeah, Luna is a little Loony, which is why people nickname her “Loony Lovegood”. They love her quirkiness because that’s what makes her awesome. Don’t bash on my Luna.
5. Severus: Ancient Roman. Roman family name meaning “stern” in Latin. This name was borne by several early saints.
6. Hagrid: Old English. For the term “had a bad night”
7. Sirius: Astronomy. The name of a bright star in the constellation Canis Major, derived via Latin from Greek (seirios) “burning”.
8. Hogwarts: Flower. The author of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling, states that she called the school “Hogwarts” because of her visits to the Kew Gardens with her friend, who, during the process of her writing the first book without a name for the school, had asked “When are we going to see Hogwarts?” and, the author confused, had asked what a “hogwart” is. Her friend had then explained that it was the favored flower of the author whenever they were to visit Kew Gardens, hence her giving the school in her series “Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry”.
9. Dumbledore: Old English, Latin. Mean’s “bumblebee” in Old English. Latin for “white”.
10. Draco: Ancient Greek, Latin. Name of a cruel Athenian lawmaker, used in the expression “draconian laws” to express unnecessarily harsh laws. Latin for the words “snake” and “dragon”.
11. Marvelo: a derived form of the name “Marvel”. English (AMERICAN). From the English word meaning “miracle” and/or “wonderful story or legend”, derived from Old French merveille “a wonder”, from Latin mirabilia “wonderful things”, which is the neuter plural form of mirabilis “strange or wonderful, admirable, amazing”, from mirari “to wonder at”, from mirus “wonderful” (the word “smile” shares this root). The verb (“to marvel”) is attested from c.1300.
Andrew Marvell (1621–1678) was an English metaphysical poet. The surname Marvel either comes from the word, being a nickname for a person considered prodigious (marvelous) in some way, no doubt sometimes given with mocking intent; or it was a habitational name from places in Normandy called Merville. ‘The one in Nord is named from Old French mendre (Latin minor) “smaller, lesser” and ville “settlement”, while that in Calvados seems to have as its first element a Germanic personal name, probably a short form of a compound name with the first element mari, meri ‘famous’.”
12. Bellatrix: Astronomy. Means “female warrior” in Latin. This is the name of the star that marks the left shoulder of the constellation Orion.
Next time you feel like talking about the stupidity of names you might want to do a little research on what they actually mean instead of judging them for what they sound like they could be you analphabetic twihard.
Also to add in: J.K. Rowling used names derived from many different cultures and places. Stephenie Meyer only used names derived from Roman and English terms. Such as Bella, Volturi, Edward, Jacob, Billy, Carlisle, Alice, Jasper, and Emmett. Esmé is probably the only unique name, derived from Old French, which was originally a masculine name, but then transferred to a woman’s name as well. Also she had a lack of the accent in the name Esmé in the story, which is the true spelling of it. If she were to really know how to create decent names for her characters she’d be a little more original and actually do research behind the meanings of her names. Having Bella be named “beautiful” when she’s an average American girl who supposedly has no beauty in her profile or personality then Bella isn’t really a good name for her.
Though you may not believe me, but as I’ve said before on some of your other HP bashing blogs, I AM a fan of twilight. But I’m more in it for the background of it all, and the story it gives. When you actually look at it as an outsider you have to admit it’s not as great as you believe. I can love something and then also give criticism on how terrible it really is. When I read all the books the story was all very amazing, but the movies with the characters as they are and their talents as they are ruined it all for me. It made me realize that Bella Swan had absolutely no personality whatsoever. Kristen Stewart has lost so much rep from the Twilight Saga because she can’t do an all too good of a job at playing Bella since Bella is a dull and boring character. She can’t make it her own unless she wants to be murdered by the book fans, and so she plays the part, making the critics throw her down hard. I’m surprised her career isn’t ruined. It’s only because of the blindly loving fans who didn’t really understand the real concept of the book like you. Taylor Lautner may have muscle and a pretty face, but that’s all he is. He’s a TERRIBLE actor and ruined the part of Jacob for me. I loved Jacob’s part in the book. I rooted for him and Bella in New Moon. I absolutely hate Robert Pattinson. He’s ugly, has the same face all the time, and doesn’t add anything to his parts in movies. He just plays his part and then is done with it, which is why i hate him. In interviews he goes in looking like a scumbag and talking like a dead-end drunk. Remember Me is probably the only movie I thought he was good in, because he played as himself pretty much. I hated Edward in the books. I liked Edward in the movie (despised the actor playing him, but liked the character). Which is why I consider myself Team Switzerland. But I doubt you’re going to actually read this and know what it means but I feel like I have to put myself out there. I love the concept of love at first sight (Edward/Bella) and love from a friendship (Jacob/Bella). I feel like in the books the idea that Edward abandoned Bella in the woods to “protect” her from himself when Victoria was a danger to her was one of the most stupidest decisions he had ever made. And then with Alice watching her all the time to make sure she didn’t hurt herself, and him finding out and trying to commit suicide is really stupid as well. If he really cared about her he wouldn’t have left in the first place. But Bella shouldn’t have wallowed and sighed and cried about him having left. She should have gone on with her life and tried to be as happy as she could. If she wasn’t so blind she wouldn’t have been so depressed and unable to realize her love for Jacob. I’ve been in the same situation already and I’m sixteen!!! I thought I was in love with a boy who had moved and promised to come back to me, and I was too blind to realize that I was falling in love with my best friend. He still hasn’t come back, but i had figured out that he really didn’t love me, and had dated tons of other girls behind my back, yet he still calls wondering why I have a new boyfriend. I’m now happily in an almost six month relationship with that best friend and he’s the love of my life. He treats me way better than the guy before and doesn’t ask for anything in return, while the guy before had asked me to have sex tons of time, which in reply I’d refuse. I’m happy that I had refused because then I would have given my life away for a guy who never had loved me. I still haven’t given up my virginity and I don’t intend to, which makes my current boyfriend proud to be with me, because he’ll love me to the ends of the earth no matter what.
So if you can’t understand my message, the Twilight movie can’t relate to real life. No guy is going to break up with you and then kill himself when he realizes you’ve moved on or tried to die. You have to live your own life and make your own decisions, not revolve everything you do around how it’ll effect your relationship to one guy. The first time you fall in love won’t be your last and you shouldn’t give everything to him because “you love him”. You don’t know what love is until you’ve had your heart broken. It’s sad but true. And sociological studies show that after couples have sex that they end up less attracted to one another. So don’t do it just to be connected more, it can actually tear you apart faster.
The minute you insulted Sirius, Luna and the Weasleys it got personal.
Voldemort will Avada Kedavra your ass for insulting his death eaters, just sayinn.
& if you think swearing is so bad in the Harry potter books (previous blog) you might wanna stop being such a hypocrite and stop swearing yourself.
This comment will consist of two parts. The first part will be correcting your terrible grammar and spelling, and the second part will be counter nearly EVERYTHING that you said here.
RidiculOUs; rhymEs; coUrse, pleAsant; unpronounceable; stUpid; prOnounce; yuCk; uglier; wEIrd; meAN; evEry; not to mention countless punctuation errors as well as butting FUCKING EWWW after everything is just like putting “Who” before the word root-canal: I just doesn’t make things any better.
Now. For the fun part. OH, actually, before I forget, let me analyze who you are (this should be fun). You’re a 15-year-old cheerleader. Cheerleading and your “boyfriend” are your life, so you have “no room” for a real education. That’s why you are so terrible at English. You’re very preppy and love to use the words “like” and “ew, gross,” etc on a regular basis in your daily conversations. This annoys people very much and few people, except your boyfriend and your cheerleader friends who do the same, like you.
Now, finally time for a little fun.
1. Hermione. Clearly you’re clutching at straws here, trying to find ANYTHING you can to make fun of Harry Potter. My name’s Brian. It rhymes with “lyin.'” Is it a weird name? No, didn’t think so.
2. My cousin’s name is Ronald and he is one of the most friendly, kind-hearted people I know. He would never hurt or even lay a hand on anybody. So go screw yourself.
3. That joke is even spread among Harry Potter fans, dimwit. Get a life. Plus, I know several very normal people named Harry. Ever seen, “When Harry Met Sally,” or are you too into Whinney (huh, almost sounds like Whiney, so you probably never watched that either) the Pooh (Oh my goodness, Pooh? That’s just disgusting, isn’t it?)?
4. The whole purpose of that name was so other characters could call her “Loony Luna.” It’s also based off the word “Lunar” which, in case you didn’t know, means the moon. More on that bit of information later.
5. Watch the last movie, people cried when Severus was killed off because he was good after all and had a very big role in the overall plot of the series.
6. Fail.
7. Sirius is the dog star (as mentioned above). Again, based off of the moon and the stars.
8. Get a life. Siriusly.
9. Headmaster Albus Dumbledore: His first name is from the Latin word alba, “white.” His last name, according to Rowling interviews, is Old English for “bumblebee.” In color symbolism, white often stands for purity, so the headmaster’s name suggests honor and a hard-working nature (“busy as a bee”).
10. Draco the Dragon. One of the constellations, I believe. Derp derp!
And the rest of your sorry excuses for “weird” names are just too pathetic to even debate against. They show you’re simply a small little prep who is trying to desperately convince people who already don’t like Harry Potter that it’s a bad series. Good day, Miss.
You dumb bitch. Avada Kedavra silly whore.
are you an idiot?
the names are original and fyi J.K Rowling called Hermione, Hermione after a name in Shakespeare and she picked it so less girls would have the same name as her as in the first books Hermione is portrayed as just a clever girl and J.K didn’t want anyone to be bullied because of it. But later on you realize she is more than that.
There is more about the characatars than their names, whether you like the names or not, the names of the charactars do not affect the story in any way.
Harry is one of the most normal names there is, you’ve probably offened millions of people by saying that about the name harry, so next time why don’t you come up with some valid reasons.
succesful troll is sucessful
Of course, like Carlise isn’t a strange name. But weird names aren’t bad or, in fact, rare at all. My name is Rhianna and until Rihanna the singer came along, it was unheard of and nobody could spell or pronounce it. My favourite boy’s names are Sebastian, Cary and Zachery – I suppose you think they’re ‘creepy’ too?
Whatever, you’re probably a troll anyway 😉
Rhi
At least J.K. Rowling put some thought into her names. Bellatrix=female warrior in Latin, Dumbledore=Bumblebee, etc. I honestly think this is a troll because I don’t see how anyone who is 16 (or claims to be) couldn’t be this ignorant and have so many spelling errors. Either way, it’s getting super annoying.
This has to be some of the most ‘stoopid’ rubbish I’ve ever read. You don’t have to like them, but if you want to say the HP names suck you could at least give valid reasons why…perchance next time you could get your facts straight first?
”Sirius. I mean, who names their kid after an expression? especially since sirius was anything BUT serious. Thats like me naming my kid “austere” or “deliberative”. Yuk. He probably got beat up too. AND “serious” is even spelled wrong!!”
There are several things I would like to say in reply to this tosh about Harry Potter names sucking, but first and foremost I’d like to point out that Sirius is the name of the brightest star in the sky, FOR THE LOVE OF POTTER. It has absolutely nothing to do with the word serious despite sounding alike. It has a certain significance because the star Sirius is also known as the Dog Star, and of course if you’d ever read the books or watched the movies you’d know that Sirius was an Animagus that morphed into a black dog named Padfoot. Most members of the The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black are named after stars and constellations: Bellatrix, the third brightest star in the constellation Orion, which is also the name of Sirius’s father and Bellatrix’s uncle. Cygnus, Andromeda, and Cassiopeia are also constellations, and Regulus, Alphard and Arcturus are stars as well.
How ignorant can you get?
Obviously, J.K. Rowling put a lot of thought into the names. Can you say the same about Meyer?
Like the person that commented above, what about Renesmee? It’s just the names of both her grandmothers mixed together. And just… ‘Renesmee’ it sounds absurd, how on earth is THAT a realistic name?
And you going on about Luna being crazy… *eye roll* You obviously know nothing about her. She’s not CRAZY, she’s different. She gets a lot of comments like yours, and funny stares, but she ignores it all because she’s is who she is, and she’s not afraid to show it. She’s inspirational, and simply amazing. The characters in Harry Potter have depth. The characters in Twilight have little to none at all, and I know it, I’m not just saying it, because I’ve read the entire series.
There are a thousand and one other things I could comment regarding this little post of yours… like grammar and spelling issues for one thing… but I think I’ll leave it there.
Can’t really decide whether you’re a complete dumbass or an epic troll (trolling twilight fans, I mean).
Dude, get a life. Your blogs are useless. Nobody agrees, pretty sure of it. You are very full of yourself. And think you know everything. And you don’t like fast food? Your probably a fat ass bitch. So shut up alright? And grow up.
How old are you?
Five?
One more word, stop acting like a fat ass whore.
your precious edward cullen was a wizard first betch.
1. Hermione is a old greek name. Many of the names in Harry Potter, (spells etc) are either greek or in latin. Rowling put much thought in Harry Potter, she didn’t just take random names like Meyer. Edward, Isabella and Jacob, SMART MOVE
2. Ronald is a very common name, just because a restaurant have a mascot with the same name doesn’t mean that everyones thoughts go all “Ronald Weasley. OH MY MCDONALDS” only you, since you are kinda messed up.
3. Harry in a very common name too. Potter is also very common. There is only my family and a family in Russia who have the same surname.
4. Luna is moon in many languages.
5. Quirinus is a greek god, Severus is a old latin boy’s name. Think before you say stuff. How is Slughorn hard to say?
6. Better than the constanly constipated 108 old virgin if you ask me.
7. Sirius is the name of a famous star, like Andromeda is a galaxy and so on.
8. I think Hogwarts is a great name for the world of Harry Potter. HP is awesome, get to it. Hogwarts is far more fun than “Forks High School”. Oh, fun name.
9. In reeeaally old english Dumbledore means “bumblebee”, and dumbledore is constanly mumbling, so it fits in quite good.
10. Draco is dragon in Latin. Draco – Dragon. Makes sense.
11. So you say that Chlamydia sounds like Marvolo. Or that AIDS sound like Marvolo? Oh really.
12. Weasley is a normal british surname.
J.K Rowling didn’t just write crap. Harry Potter is good and it has a plot.
Read good stuff.
*fangirl mode takes over*
YOU BITCH! DON’T YOU DARE INSULT SIRIUS FOR SOME STUPID REASON LIKE THAT! I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD ON A SILVER PLATTER.
*calms down*
Sorry about that, I tend to get defensive over my favorite characters like that. If you disliked him for an intelligent reason, I would have been fine, but that’s just stupid. Start paying attention in science for me, will you?
Also, the bit about ‘Ron’ is just plain idiotic. (Though, to your credit, my mother is also a HP fan, and she hates the name ‘Weasley.’ She mostly just cracks jokes about it, not disliking the series at all for it)
Now, onwards… The names in the book aren’t ugly at all; they’re rather charming, actually. Fit they fantasy of the books quite nicely.
They also carry meaning, something that most of your precious Twilight character names lack. Well… With the exception of ‘Beautiful Swan,’ which is quite possibly the most sue-ish sound name I’ve ever heard.
Except maybe ‘Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way,’ which, I’ll admit, was Harry Potter realated, but it was from a fanfic written by either a really stupid girl (like you!) or perhaps a troll. (also may be like you!) So it doesn’t count.
Also, if you’d like to use the fanfic that I mentioned as ‘proof’ of how stupid the Harry Potter fandom is, TV Tropes currently lists TWO Twilight equivalents, so you have no room for arguments.
Your against junk food? believable.
All those names are actually quite realistic and the more uncommon ones are supposed to be that way, they a easily pronouncable, My four year old niece can pronounce severus, slughorn and quirrel, she can evan spell them. the names are supposed to be unique to show a different culture, pureblood affinity. Beautiful Swan More like Ugly Duckling…
Edward Cullen. Edd – Weird – culling ( guy named edd, he is weird, he goes around culling [ Incase your small mind cannot process culling is the word used for killing lots of one species] people?)
Jacob Black. Jacob is relatively normal, the name black is stolen quite obviously from harry potter.
Is it me or are all Twilight fans really this Thick in the skull?
A brain is wasted on you.
JK got the name Hermione in a play by Shakespear – he’s a legendary literature figure, in case you don’t know. It also means “Well-born”, and the name itself is really pretty. In fact, it’s Greek, Helen of Sparta – also known as Helen of Troy had a daughter called Hermione, so it’s a name that has been around for millenia, yet you seem perfectly at ease to pick up on it.
The names in HP are chosen for meaning, or the symbolism that comes with them. As has previously been said, Sirius is the name of the Dog Star, seen in the winter, it is the same size as our Sun and 16ly’s away. (That’s Lightyears, by the way). And as for names like Ron, Harry, or Arthur and Albus – which I know you did not pick up on, but I guess I’ll tell you anyway – are old and traditional English names, as is Edward just so you know.
Finally, why have you got such a problem with HP? You obviously haven’t read the books, and if you have, you learnt nothing. Accept people for who they are, that’s what JK’s message is. Take a Latin class, or Classical Civilisation, even Ancient History, you’ll learn loads. And stop hating on HP, there’s no need.
Every name comes from a Latin root that has something to do with their character. I would tell you to go do the research, but it would just confuse you more…
oh boy…..this makes my heart hurt…..why are you criticizing peoples names in a FICTIONAL BOOK…..when you cant spell anything! and you say ew every sentence….HOW IS AN AX EW? HOW DAMMIT?! …..you’re dumb. grow up. are you like 12?
^^ Exactly!
I seriously hope you are trolling, please say your trolling, no one in the history of anything can be this fucking retarted…
Ahem.
– Hermione is a character in Shakespeare’s “The Winter’s Tale,” a beautiful and virtuous Queen. – – Ron, as he is called rather than Ronald, is a perfectly ordinary name and common in England. I guess you don’t like Kim Possible, either.
– Harry . . . Harry is one of the most common and normal names ever. I know like six, all nice guys. And in case you hadn’t noticed, why YES, Potter does sound like Potty. That’s why his less creative enemies call him that.
– It’s SUPPOSED to reinforce the “Loony” thing. It was on PURPOSE because it is IRONIC and rather CORRECT.
– And all those creepy weird names? Well either they’re LATIN, that amazing language the one you’re speaking is BASED UPON, or they’re a creative and British-esque name though up by that genius JK Rowling. I have no issue pronouncing any of them. Plenty of people like SEVERUS. SEH-VEH-RUSS. NOT THAT HARD. Harry names his SON after him.
– Yeah, sounding like HAG and being ugly enough to be one IS KIND OF THE POINT.
– SIRIUS is the brightest star in the sky. Not only is naming a very non-serious character that IRONIC, it is also nicknamed the DOG STAR. SIRIUS BLACK IS A DOG ANIMAGUS. And she didn’t MISSPELL IT. IT’S NOT THE SAME WORD!
– HOG. WARTS. YEAH, NO SHIT! IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY! You just think very odd things are “sick.”
– Yes, yes I get it. I get that you have very strange and stupid opinions about things.
– Again, LATIN. And yes, it means dragon. Congratulations on being able to use Google. How is that STUPID? Dragons are awesome. It’s complimentary to Draco.
– It sounds nothing like an STD. And AGAIN, it is derived (gotten from) both LATIN and SHAKESPEARE. “Marvolio,” in Latin, means “ILL. WILL.” It is the name of a character from Twelfth Night, who is a PURITAN, a very conservative person, and is a character that DESPISES ALL KINDS OF FUN AND GAMES, just like Marvolo.
– It’s SUPPOSED to sound like Weasel! JK Rowling thought weasels, ordinary creatures, got a bad reputation from people like YOU, and wanted to contradict this.
– No, none of the names in Harry Potter suck. And if they do? They don’t suck nearly as bad as “RENESMEE.” TALK ABOUT BARF AND WTF.
– Yaxley is a semi-normal British name. And he’s a bad guy, so SOUND LIKE “AX” MAKES SOME SENSE!
– Yes, MAcnair sounds like Nair. I don’t see why this is a problem. It’s a Scottish last name for a bad guy.
– BELLATRIX is also a star, just like ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE BLACK FAMILY. It is the “Amazon” star. In mythology, an Amazon is POWERFUL FEMALE WARRIOR.
– Twilight has GOOD names? THEY’RE ALL JUST FREAKIN AVERAGE, REQUIRING NO CREATIVITY WHATSOEVER! SHE NAMED THEM AFTER HER OWN FAMILY MEMBERS, PROBABLY BECAUSE SHE COULDN’T THINK OF ORIGINAL ONES! And when she did? RENESMEE. I CAN’T EVEN SAY HOW BAD THAT IS.
– In short, SHUT THE HELL UP.
Oh my gosh you are so fucking dumb don’t you know anything – Luna is a VERY common name actually and it means moon. The name Sirius is not the expression, it is named after a star, AND Dumbledore is a surname not a first name. Just so you know.
And Twilight has really stupid and boring names. I mean, “Edward” is such a stupid ordinary name…
Twilight SUCKS
HP RULES!
Harry Potter names are all unique so stfu!!
you know, Jo rowling called her Hermione because she wanted an uncommon name so no little kids would be teased of being a know-it-all bookworm? Sirius is a CONSTELLATION, not a fucking expression. wtf. Draco/bellatrix and lots of OTHERS are LATIN. and the unusual names shows JK’S VERY VERY VERY SMART and CREATIVE imagination. It also fits in with the time and place. Hogwarts is ancient, and it is set in the late 1900’s so it makes sense for those kind of names. where have you heard someone called SEVERUS? its unique, and special. GET YOU FUCKING MIND CHECKED. and how about RENESMEE? what kind of a stupid name is that? other than that, twilight names are just boring, unimaginative, and common.
and for the record, OUR bella could kick YOUR bella’s ass.
Hey Buddy the thyng is that the thyng which u cnt understnd is ridiculous! Buddy its only that YOU ARE brainLess!! :)))
Just reading your blog shows the difference between Harry Potter fans and Twilight fangirls. For example, we have the common sense to understand the logic behind everything, can spell, and can have a conversation without having to cuss every sentence.
Also:
*What kind of name is Renesmee?
*Edward sounds like Deadward, which fits, since he’s SUPPOSED to be a vampire, not a sparkly faerie.
*Meyer is just soooo good with names, isn’t she? Yes, let’s name hybrid babies Edward Jacob. Splendid.
Oh, I will sooooo totally take pleasure into answering your questions. And before you ask: yes, I have read both Twilight as well as HP but am not a particular fan of either. Although your blog tempts me to join the Harry Potter group, if only to fight people such as you – twihards.
1. Answering your first question: it’s a normal british name. Not American though. You guys over there are ODD.
2. And what, pray, does McDonalds has in common with Harry Potter? Folks, it’s getting funny, join me! xD
3. *looking through the telephone list* You know, I hear that in America there are some quite good ENT’s. And if you have problems with Harry and “hairy”, you should definitely go see one.
4. Yeah, Luna. Did you even bother checking up her on Wikipedia? I did. And you know what? She’s called Looney Luna. Funny, you just said the same thing. Also, your comment whether or not love is good: you read Twilight, for godness’ sake! If the book isn’t about love, then I’ve really misunderstood the whole point. And you said something about surrealistic surnames. You know, I personally think it’s better that way, really. Otherwise, if you are called, let’s say… Cullen. People are going to nag you for the rest of their lives. If you don’t Obliviate them, I suppose.
5. Rowling did actually a bit research with every name. For example: Severus Snape. Sever means “to cut off.” Snape appears to have “cut off” his ties with the Dark Lord through the first five books, and then with Dumbledore and the Order in Half-Blood Prince. “Severe” means “cruel, strict” – two characteristics that accurately describe the Potions Professor. And Snape is simply a town in England.
It’s even more funny with Quirinus Quirrell: the name Quirinus is derived from the words “co-viri,” meaning “of two men.” Quirinus was applied to Romulus, for whom Rome was named, when he was considered a god. Furthermore, there is a connection between Quirinus and Janus Quirinus, the two-faced god. Janus was the god of both beginnings and endings and was depicted as having one face look forward while the other watched behind, much like our dear professor Quirrell.
If you care to look at it, you will notice that the names aren’t all random. You can actually have a good laugh. Just take a look at the first year’s book list and the authors.
6. You know, I don’t even know why I bother. Read for yourself:
http://www.mugglenet.com/books/name_origins_characters.shtml
You have all of the meanings in there. Have a nice time.
7. Ooooh. Sirius Black. This I’ll explain myself, it’s the funniest name in the whole Potterverse.
Sirius is a star, the brightest star on the sky. It’s in the constellation Canis Major. In some languages Sirius is often referred to as the Dog Star and Canis Major is referred to as the Dog Constellation. All in all, the Blacks were quite into stars. Which brings me to the surname. Black is a color. It’s also the thing that they all were (except for Sirius) dark wizards. Sirius was an outcast in his family, a “black sheep”. You see the irony? That’s not even the best part. Here it comes: Sirius’ Animagus form is a big black dog! Sometimes you really learn to appreciate the irony of life, hihi.
There is even a joke about his whole name: “Sirius Orion Black? Stargazing much, JK Rowling?”
8. Hoggy Warty Hogwarts? Wait, I’ll find you a fic on this theme:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2010076/1/Too_Clever_By_Far
Back to reality. This quote’s from our dearest Wikipedia: “Rowling has suggested that she may have inadvertently taken the name from the hogwort plant (Croton capitatus), which she had seen at Kew Gardens some time before writing the Harry Potter series, although the names “The Hogwarts” and “Hoggwart” appear in the 1954 Nigel Molesworth book How To Be Topp by Geoffrey Willans.”
Other than that, it’s a cool name, although I’m not entirely sure you agree.
9. Dumbledore. who wants a name with “dumb” in it? Gross. and it just sound stupid. It’s freaking weard and DUM! Lol get it? Dum/Dumb.
Rowling says she chose the name Dumbledore. It’s an Early Modern English word for “bumblebee”. She pictured herself him humming all the time. Also, I think Dumbledore sounds almost like Dumbles. You know, the candy. Dumbledore LOVES candy.
10. You are right with the dragon. Draco is the Latin for dragon.
Quote: “In an article published in 2002, Nilsen and Nilsen argue that “Draco” has connotations with draconian, and that his name starts with “mal”, a French prefix for “bad” or “evil”.” // Wikipedia.
11. I guess Marvolo was about the only name that fitted the anagram “I am Lord Voldemort”. Besides, it sounds cold, dark and Slytherinish. And, point out if I’m wrong, but isn’t Voldemort like the Heir of Slytherin? Since Tom was a boooooring name, I say he deserves a cool one.
12. Funny you took it up. You know, at HP fanfiction, Malfoy ALWAYS calles the Weasleys “weasels”. Figures you and Malfoy has something in common. Prejudice against others and thinking you are always right (it’s called “to be stuck up”, btw) for example.
13. “BASICALY EVRY NAME IN HP SUCKS!!!!”
And the Twilight names doesn’t?
“More wird names:”
You suck at spelling, you know that?
“Yaxley-sound like AX ew”
You know, when I googled on “Yaxley meaning” I expected to see a lot of HP things. It turned out Yaxley was quite a common name, all in all.
“McNair-isnt nair the hair removal stuff??”
And if you take away Mc from McDonalds, you’ll get a duck!
“Bellatrix-frigin weird”
Oh, just because it’s related to Saint Bella of Twilight? Grow up.
“All the alliteration names like ones where the first and last ones start with th same letter i mean that just unrealistic and STUPID AND WEIRD!”
Well, I think you mentioned somewhere along the way that Potter is supposed to be a child book. Alliterations are common in such.
“Peace out! Twilight has GOOD names!”
Isabella. Bella. You do realize that “belle” means “beautiful” in French? I, with absolutely NO study in that language, know that. At the very least Rowling’s got imagination. Meyer doesn’t.
And your nickname Lizzie isn’t silly? Well, I certainly think it is.
Ohe more thing for you to learn, you use WTF, OWWW, EWWW etc. on EVERY SINGLE comment! Do you realize how annoying this is? And learn to accept other people. Or get a boyfriend.
Commenting this really made my day. Have a nice life.
Right.
I’m Starting with DUMBLEDORE.
Albus Dumbledore means WHITE BUMBLEBEE in Latin. Bella means beautiful but she’s just plain ugly, I mean they go on about how plain she looks!
Sirius Black.
He is an Animagus (which means he can become a dog) and Sirius is the name of te Dog star.
Luna Lovegood.
Shes called Luna because it sounds like her DEAD mothers name. Also she has White blonde hair.
Oh, and all HP names are Better then “Reneesme”
Seriously?Do you have to bring this up?Please keep your thoughts to yourself!You don’t know how much it hurts people’s feelings!!!If you don’t like Harry Potter,then OK!It’s just an opinion,but you put it in very mean words!I’m going to report you!
Your grammar and spelling are atrocious… J.K. Rowling loves to collect weird names, they’re much more interesting than names like Edward or Bella or Jacob. The names usually have meanings that relate to the character’s personality or background. Also, some of these names that you may find ridiculous are actually quite common in the U.K. I’m not going to insult Twilight, I personally loved the books, but I will say that if you’re going to insult the colorful names in Harry Potter, please remember the fact that Bella named her child Reneesme…
i could write a whole paragragh about your stupidity but instead of arguing i will only say, RENEESME. ARGUMENT INVALID.
Excuse you, but you realize the author of these books is from England!!!! The names tend to be different there. And some of the characters aren’t even from England. Some have foreign names!!! Just because you have no culture doesn’t mean you can bash on Harry Potter.
Wow. I can’t believe that I read this crap. You definitely have to sort out your priorities. Harry Potter’s characters names proved J. K. Rowling’s skill at writing. She surely has a lot of knowledge to give her characters such unique names.The names that she gave, shows each character’s unique personality. There are tons of names in Harry Potter which is rather common. Twilight? Who the hell would name a vampire Edward? He is a hundred years old right? Should he have a cool and old name? Edward? How about Bella and Jacob? It’s pretty common you see. Before you post anything on your blog, TRY TO READ IT AGAIN! I saw a lot of words that were misspelled. Your way of expressing your thoughts is really stupid. How would you ever win an argument with the Potterheads (which by the way are intellectual people) with words like that!
By the way, Hermione was named after the character in William Shakespeare’s “The Winter’s Tale”. (In case you don’t know who Shakespeare is, he wrote “Romeo and Juliet”. The tragic tale of two star-crossed lovers? Oh! Never mind.) When it comes to writing, searching for a character’s name is very hard. It must be unique and suit the character very well so that the readers can easily remember the character.
P.S. Pardon my grammar (If there is something wrong about it). English is my second language and I am trying my best to become fluent with it.
Please, if you hated Harry Potter so much you wouldn’t post all these things about it! You are just desperately trying to make a point on how Twilight is better than HP, but you’re not convincing anyone. Stop it and learn how to write. English is not even my birth language and I still write it better than you.
My god, another stubborn Twishit. Is it because many people likes Harry Potter that makes you angry? I don’t know why nowadays people likes to judge with something that overwhelmed them. I think the more people likes Harry Potter, the more u get angry. And your sentences are so aggressive. You want to make people to LOVE TWILIGHT instead of HARRY POTTER don’t you, forget it, your dream wouldn’t becomes reality. I know what are you thinking, you are angry that Harry Potter is better than Twilight, you know it’s a fact deeply in your mind, but you deny it, you want to change it.
P.S
Don’t angry about me
“11. Marvolo. IT sounds like an STD. Barf!!!!!!!!”
I’m surprised you haven’t been hit by a very powerful, bright green curse yet. 😀
This Page should be taken down Harry Potter rules the world and Twilight will never beat it. I read the First 5 Chapters of Twilight and vomited because it was that lame. The Franchise of the Twilight Series Sucks mad house!
Are you stupid or do you just come across like that online. Got any problem with the name Yasmin? Like omg it rhymes with bin!!!!!1!!!!.
Go read some actual literature please.
OH MY WAND… ARE YOU A REAL HUMAN??!! I AM THINKING THAT A DOG WROTE THAT CRAP…MUST SAY: A SKILLED DOG YOU ARE
BITCH*
Youre a horrible person, go read twilight and think someone like Edward will turn up and love you. Trust me, if you look as horrible as you are, thats never gonna happen.
Shut your idiot mouth Lizzie, you are as stupid as a fat HOG WITH WARTS! And you’re WHINY AND HAIRY AND YOUR POTTY SMELLS!
Dear Twilight,
Our Charlie works with Dragons – yours is a bad parent.
Our Bella is a psychotic fighter – your Bella couldn’t fight her way out of a paper bag.
Our James was a Marauder – yours was some creepy guy.
Our Alice still loves her son even though she’s lost her mind – yours is an overly preppy irritating child.
Our Blacks are a complicated family warring between them over the rights of good and evil – yours are two idiots who think they know everything.
Our Robert Pattinson is a good, loyal, man who got murdered by Voldemort – yours sparkled in the sun
Our werewolf died trying to create a better world for his son to live in – yours fought over a girl who was alredy taken
Sincerly,
The people who want you to stop stealing our names.
Wow, that was actually really beautiful and inspiring
(IDK why though XD)
Ahem.
Aro. Caius. Sulpicia. Athenadora. Didyme. Santiago. Carlisle. Volturi. Renesmee. Emmett. Laurent. Zafrina. Senna. Kachiri. Amun. Kebi. Makenna. Vladimir. Nahuel. Uley. Quil Ateara. Embry. Ephraim.
Just to name a few. So get your fucking hypocritical facts straight.
this was the dumbest thing I have ever read… my god. Just………….. I can’t………….. Just stupid.
oh its good, REALLY good she isnt a Harry Potter fan. it would be a shame!
TROOOOOOOLLLLLLL TROOOOOOOLLLL IN THE DUNGEON!!!
though you ought to know 😉
I don’t believe you are actually this insolent. Partially because i was pissing myself with laughter at your post because honestly you were just making shit up about the names, and partially because if anyone was actually like this they would get egged on the street 🙂
Much love.
HARRYPOTTERFTW!!
but go team twilight ❤
look you are entitled to your own opinions but seriously you are really wrong, did you not notice that the PRINCE of ENGLAND is named harry??? or did it magically slip your mind? It wouldn’t surprise me seeing as you bad-mouth harry potter yet think that the childish UNREALISTIC world of steph meyers is actually entertaining. VAMPIRES DO NOT SPARKLE, just because she was trying to fufill her STUPID fantasies by writing a book about a sad strange little girl that is so desperate that she goes into a deep depression after being with FUCKward for a month, OMG I mean REALLY and you say Twilight names are NORMAL, yes because EVERYONE is naming their children Carlisle, Esme, Emmet, Rosalie, Bella, Jasper and Edward, much LESS Quil (you know like the writing utensil) and Embry (ember – as in a burning peice of wood or coal). So PLEASE, educate yourself before spouting off psychobabble bullshit.
Draco means Dragon you fucktard.
>”What kind of a name is Hermione?”
>The kid in the Breaking Dawn is named “Renesme”
Harry, the name means protector of the house or home. Harry is the main hero of the story and the protector of the wizardry world and savior.
Luna means moon are you that dumb? You have no taste for history or anything of the sorts. Names like Bellatrix make sense to the character. The Black family in Harry Potter series are name after the heavenly bodies or stars. Bellatrix means female warrior and that is what she is. Sirius means the dog star and it make since since Sirius Black’s animagus (or animal transformation) is a dog or more specifically a grim. He is also loyal and would do anything for his friends and family.
You are stupid and have no sense so before you insult something you should go and research like a normal person.
And my name is Carmen Medina, is my name odd or freakish? dos it sound like an STD to you? My first name is Latin for music and a last name is after a small city in Medina in Saudi Arabia.
The name Bella is just beautiful in Italian and that’s not even her real name its Isabella and it means in God’s name. Which doesn’t really make sense since the character Isabella Swan isn’t beautiful and is described as plain nor is she religious in any way.
So please before you start acting in such way and dissing or proper literature instead of the cancer you read learn and write properly.
Renesmee … KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK tsc
Hahahahahahaha.
The comment above mine explains it all, so I can just say your a dumbass and your post is hilariously dim witted.
First, I would like to thank you for alerting my to all the interesting uses of grammar and syntax in your comments. It goes to show rules are meant to be broken when it comes to writing. I sincerely hope you are reading into my sarcasm.
It was the summer of my eleventh year on this planet that I spent an entire two months waiting for a letter that would never come. I was still watching when the summer ended and my grade five year of school began I remember staring out onto the horizon looking for a little black spec that would be the owl carrying my acceptance letter to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I’ll admit that to this day I’m still slightly disappointed that the letter never came; I definitely don’t think that my owl was caught over the ocean and was never able to reach me, because in no way am I just an average muggle. This story is a fairly common one, and I’m sure right now there are some eleven-year-olds who have yet to come to terms with the fact that they aren’t going to Hogwarts. Something I never waited for was the news that I would be uprooted from my home and moved to a strange rainy city where I could live with my estranged father. I never hoped to meet a slightly charming but mostly stalker-like boy. What I definitely did not want was someone who would “steal my heart” and also any independence I might have had up to that point. No self-respecting girls actually hope for such an unhealthy relationship, not the intelligent ones anyway. They don’t hope for the relationship, they hope for the boy and his name is Edward Cullen. Twilight and Harry Potter are both phenomena in their own right. Both books encourage young people to read, and no matter how you spin it getting certain children to read anything other than a computer screen and the blurb that appears above the character they are currently controlling with a joystick is a great feat indeed. I certainly don’t dispute that the Twilight series ( no sorry “saga”) has the ability to make people feel good. Everyone loves a love story. The problem with this particular love story is that it’s not realistic. Forget about the vampires, they almost seem more realistic than the relationship presented between Bella and Edward. There truly is no harm in pretending that vampires, or wizards for that matter, exist. Those things are good for a healthy imagination. What is unhealthy about Twilight is the level of dependence Bella has on Edward. In the second book of the “saga” she begins to “not care” simply keeping herself alive because she believes her boyfriend may come back to her. That isn’t love, but it is obsession. J.K. Rowling began writing her Harry Potter series on a delayed train ride to Kings Cross Station in London England. Rowling then began to outline the plots for all the books for five years before she began writing the first book now known as Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone. Clearly a great deal of planning went into writing these novels; it took her another ten or so years before she finished the series of seven books. What is so great about the characters in Harry Potter is that they grow with the reader. Children who are young when they begin reading can be much older when they finish, having learned important lessons along the way. Every time I read those books they tell me something different. There is no lesson to be found from love. What are young girls (the main demographic for Twilight) meant to learn from the glorifying of an obsessive relationship? Without even touching the superior character development in Harry Potter over Twilight (klutziness is not a character flaw Stephanie Meyer) and only looking at the process of writing, Twilight took Meyer a whopping four years to write. This is four years for the entire saga each book’s page count coming in at around five-hundred. Compared to Rowling’s meticulous planning for the five years before she even fully began writing Meyer’s “planning” seems to fall a little short of dazzling. Meyer writes on her own site about the dream that inspited Twilight “Two people were having an intense conversation in a meadow in the woods. One of these people was just your average girl. The other person was fantastically beautiful, sparkly, and a vampire. They were discussing the difficulties inherent in the facts that A) they were falling in love with each other while B) the vampire was particularly attracted to the scent of her blood, and was having a difficult time restraining himself from killing her immediately.” I think sometimes a dream is just a dream. Many authors may find great inspiration from dreams but I think it’s agreeable that Twilight is no Frankenstien and Stephanie Meyer no Mary Shelly (unless of course you consider Twilight a monster of Frankenstien proportion, which I do).
Harry Potter lives in a world of magic where he coexists with creatures we could never dream of, but Rowling was creative enough to invent. All Meyer invented were a few characters who are curiously void of any legitimate flaws. Forks, a town as boring as the characters who inhabit it, isn’t someplace anyone would like to visit, while “f— this I’m going to Hogwarts,” is something of a joke, and almost everyone can understand it and the thought behind it. People like to escape, and while both books provide that the Harry Potter way of escaping to Hogwarts seems much more attractive. Rainy, miserable, dull forks and the promise of losing all individuality to the obsession of someone struggling not to kill me just doesn’t excite me (or most people, I would imagine) the same way as the prospect of getting my acceptance to Hogwarts by owl. I’m still waiting.
1. Hermione is a classic name, found in one of Shakespeare’s plays, “A Winter’s Tale.” It was originally Greek and means “earthy.”
2. Ronald McDonald was far from the only person to ever be named that, and it’s a lot more common than you may think. The meaning of this name relates to counsel or having the god’s power. As a best friend to the boy-hero, not a bad thing to be. Also, he’s very rarely referred to as “Ronald” so unless you’re really trying, you shouldn’t be getting images of Ronald McDonald anyhow.
3. You do know that Harry is the name of one of England’s current royalty, don’t you? It’s a common name, which I believe is the whole point. Also, there is absolutely a character named Harry in Twilight, you know.
4. Luna actually refers to the moon, and the “loony” similarities gives an easy-in for bullies who find her strange. Her last name adds to the alliteration as well. They’re a quirky family, they’ve got a quirky name. I imagine your’s must be something very inane like “Smith” or “Jones.” Pay attention, names are weird. Does it bother you that Edward’s last name is “Cullen?” Because that often can call to mind the idea of “culling,” as in culling the herd. As in killing/removing to lower population.
5. If you think those are difficult, I cackle to think of you reading “Carlisle.”
6. If “Hagrid” sounds like anything, it would be “haggard.” And to be “hagrid” in Old English apparently meant to be having a bad night.
7. Sirius is the Dog Star. Astronomy. It has nothing to do with “serious.”
8. The name is meant to be strange, it’s a school for WIZARDS.
9. Dumbledore means “bumblebee.”
10. “Draco” DOES mean “dragon.” In Latin. It’s actually part of the school’s motto. And as a pureblooded wizard, it would be very natural to have been named after a powerful magical creature.
11. “Marvolo” is another one of those simply-strange names. It’s a middle name. And it has the excellent quality of being included in the annagram of Voldemort’s name. Also, what the hell STD are you talking about??
12. Weasley. Well, it’s meant to be referring to weasels. And Rowling stated about weasels that they’re “not so much malignant as maligned.”
13. Actually, there is an entire depth of meaning if you bother to think about it or look up what the names mean/where they come from. http://wiki.name.com/en/Behind_the_Names_in_the_Harry_Potter_Books is an excellent source as it breaks them all down: first, middle (if given), last and any nicknames.
As for the others:
Yaxley- Actually the name of a few English villages. Old name, old blood would be the implication here.
McNair- You’re thinking of “Nair.” McNair is a traditional surname. Scotish. Original meaning was “son of John.” And if you can turn JOHN into a strange name, I’ll be impressed because I’m American as well and know about twenty of them.
Bellatrix- I get the feeling you’ve never had the slightest interest in astronomy. Pretty much the entire Black family has given names from the night sky. See Sirius above.
And on the point of chacters having alliteration to their names, it is not nearly so often as you are implying and often serves a purpose. I already talked about Luna, another example is Severus Snape, which gives a very sibalant sound, much like a snake, much like a Slytherin.
As for Twilight having awesome names?
Carlisle. Really? (from the walled city or the protected tower)
Isabella: consecrated or devoted to God. Bella also has this meaning but also means beautiful. Also, Bella is the nickname of Bellatrix as well, so.
Edward: Actually a very British name!! Means wealthy guardian. Sugar daddy?
Alice: Hey, I immediately think of Alice in Wonderland, aka the book about an acid trip. (truth or nobility in meaning)
Emmett: German, hard worker, and BTW, Germany is who was ACTUALLY defeated in WW2 if you refer back to a previous post of yours. OR the English version is simply the male form of Emma.
Jasper: master of the treasure, semi-precious stone, also? British.
Rosalie: English or Italian, both meaning Rose
Esme: Emerald, French
And I think that’s quite enough of that.
wow i love the logic behind every single one of your reasons
every name in harry potter has a meaning, the reason a few names sound a little odd is because well, if you havent noticed they are living in a world of magic. dragons, and weird things happen in their world. each names have a meaning behind them
wtf is this
I can’t tell if this is a troll or some really really thick little girl…
So, I can’t actually tell if this site is satirical or not, because your argument it so ridiculous. But I just wanted to say two things:
1. JK Rowling put a lot of thought and research into the names. Most of the “weird” names have historical backgrounds.
2. Twilight has normal names? Really? What the hell do you call Reneesme?
Bella sounds like bells, and bells ring!
Edward sounds like ward! Who wants to be in a hospital ward?
Jacob sounds like corn on the cob! Gross!
Esme is like Esme Squalor from A Series of Unfortunate Events and she was gross!
Jasper sounds like Casper – a ghost, ew!
Darling, if you thought that my argument was invalid and unintelligent, then you should know that yours was equally invalid and unintelligent.
You, Twitard, are a jerk.
And a big one at that.
That is all.
Potterhead.
Dude, take a look at your own fandom. Renesmee? Are you serious?
you… are a dumbass.
As someone form the McDonald Clan I am highly insulted by you connecting our family’s name with feelings of disgust and horror. That it makes you want to “barf”. Our family is noble and we did not suffer through the likes of war and blood shed (not to mention loosing our title of “Lord of the Isles” to the English!) only to be insulted on your blogging website! Not all McDonald’s work in fast food restaurants you know! Some of us our New Readers, Politicians and Shakespearean Actors! I respectfully ask for a full apology.
Dude seriously. You’re only doing this to piss off people. If you would do research, you’d understand the names. Also, my father’s name is Ronald, and no, it doesn’t remind me of Ronald McDonald…. Honestly, I’m quite surprised there isn’t more comments on this.
How are Twilight’s names better? What kind of name is Bella Swan, Edward Cullen or Jacob Black? Cullen is probably the weird name here, actually. You’re argument is pretty much invaild. Seriously, don’t do this. You’re starting fandom wars. That doesn’t make you cool.
Draco does mean Dragon, you moron. It’s also a constalation. Same goes for Sirius.
It actually does in Latin.
The names in Harry Potter are perfect for each character. They each have their own meaning, plus a few match their personality.
Also, I’m sure you haven’t even read the Harry Potter books, as you read the crapsack Twilight.
Adding on to the previous comment – with Dumbledore, Dumbledore means Bumblebee and bumblebees were a powerful symbol in ancient times. The bumblebee was the official object of the court of Charlemagne, one of the most powerful rulers who ever lived. Just an fyi.
Oh. My Gosh.
Bella (Ballatrix) – Was ours first
The Black family – Was ours first
Alice – Was ours first
Clearwater – Was ours first
James- Was ours first
And those are just a few… And I know most of those names are very common names, but you accused us of being un-realistic too. Which, for the record, is just being creative and original. Please get your facts right lovely, again I’m not bashing Twilight, but there’s the verdict. ❤ xo
I want to hug you!!!
is something wrong with you? like seriously wrong with you? how many holes do you have in the surface of your cerebral cortex? what on the planet earth would make you actually post anything like this or any other post you’ve made? yeah great, stephanie meyer wrote a few books. well, they sucked. and i’m not just saying that because i don’t like your opinion, or because i’m biased towards the harry potter books. i tried to read twilight. really. i couldn’t stand the fucking thing. also, i agree with EVERY WORD Meiko Battersby says here.
My last name is fucking PLOENZKE and NO ONE has been able to pronounce it correctly thus far, does that mean my name is fucking unrealistic. GO. JUST GO. AND READ MORE BOOKS. BESIDES TWILIGHT. MY GOD. ANYTHING. READ THE SLAVE. THAT IS ROMANCE. AND ITS FUCKING SAD. WITH SEX. SAD SAD ROMANCE WITH SEX. THAT SHOULD APPEASE YOU. AT LEAST.
AND i’M USING CAPSLOCK BECAUSE OF FEELINGS AND THE URGENCY OF THE SITUATION.
I can’t even. Oh my god. You are really dumb. Really.
Erm, Stephenie Meyer said herself that she was originally going to call Jasper ‘Ronald’ and then she changed it. So yeah… you look like the biggest idiot right now.
I want to punch you in the mouth, then break your arms so you can no longer be stupid on the internet. You seem surprised by the uproar in the Harry Potter fandom. We’re the strongest out of all of the fandoms, we live on facts and evidence.
(and for the record, if you think Harry is a weird name, you are an idiot. The name ‘Potter’ was from one of J.K Rowling’s old childhood friends that she knew. She got permission from them to use their name.)
(You ass.)
Punch her please.
My cousin’s name is Harry and he loves it. He spends his whole time running around on a broomstick defeating evil. (he is 4) He totally idolises Harry and everything he stands for. I have nightmares about what he would be like if his name was Edward and he spent his whole time watching girls sleep.
and my P.E teacher’s name is Harry Potter, for real…just for the record he is older than the books 😛
I want to hug your cousin. He sounds like the greatest kid ever.
Potterheads all the way!
Its not the name that counts its the person. Hermione is better than Bella (In my opinion) Because she destroyed her parents memory’s for their safety, Helped save the things she loves without the man she loved. Ron is better than Edward because he lived in the shadow of the ‘boy who lived’ and still proved to the world that he’s strong.
Absolutly!!! Also Bella spends her whole time moping about her lack of a bf and how she’s not worthy. Hermoine never once degrades herself in order to get a bf, she knows she’s better than that, that she is her own person with an amazing mind and personality and that looks aren’t everything.
You are not real. You are a troll. Nice try. Give it up. It would have been better if you were grammatically correct and put on a show. Then this whole blog would be more entertaining.
I hope get killed by an elephant. tonight. while you’re sleep. fuck you.
After reading all three of your articles (if they could be called such a thing), I now want to find a shotgun and blow my brains out.
Either that, or drink a gallon of bleach.
You have destroyed all of what little bit of faith I had in the human race. Thank you, and I hope your boyfriend breaks up with you. Ya know, so you can do what Bella did and jump off a cliff.
Or she could just do what Bella did in the movie and sit around in the same clothes, in the same chair, staring out the window, for months on end. What a pitiful existence.
It’s the fucking wizarding world, jeez, get an imagination and a life!
JK Rowling has an imagination and not to mention, she’s done research on all the names she uses – the names reflect their personalities and/or their actions and roles in the story. While… Bella, Edward and Jacob are probably names that have just been picked randomly from a baby book by SM.
I can’t even…why…oh goodness gracious…no words can explain the amount of ignorance and stupidity you contain. Troll or not, this makes me want to chuck a puppy out a window. So much facepalm right now. I shall now go and bury my nose in some British Literature and forget about this ‘blog’ of yours. Oh how I wish I could leave the US and live in Ireland or something. *sigh*
I love all the HP names. I think they sound nice!
Maybe you dont like them cuz your used to the normal plain names like “Jessica, Mike, Jacob”
I mean most of the HP names are normal.
I LOVE the name Draco and it does mean Dragon. Ah and Scorpius (nor sure if spelled correctly mah bad) is a wicked awesome name!!
you are an absolute dumbass, you piece of shit.
Had you been gramatically correct and used words other than “weird” and “creepy”, I would have given this article a bit of thought.
As the comments above have already stated, your lack of knowledge and research made this an epic fail.
And plus, it’s the person that matters. Harry Potter characters exhibit qualities that twilight characters will never do.
What, loving a sparkly vampire, exaggeratedly weeping over him when he leaves, and rejoicing when he comes back- that’s your idea of an amazing story ?
If you like twilight, good for you. Everyone has their own choices.
But if you try to disparage Harry Potter by digging out crap like the apparent stupidity behind Potter names, don’t expect Potter fans to not laugh at your stupidity.
Go and tweak your sense of sarcasm, and do some real research, the next time you write something.
You’re unrealistic, stupid, and weird. Kill yourself now, please.
You were a failed abortion that should have stuck it out at the clinic.
OK, I have one final point…HUNGER GAMES FTW, I love this book it kicks twilight ass, that is all. In the great words of AVPM Voldy, Amy out bitches 😉
Filthy muggle. Avada Kadavra!
YOU insult Harry potter you insult me ! They are wizards and witch names do you expect them to be normal Hermione is probaly a common british name harry and ronald are normal names like i said before slughorn ect. and because it draws the readers attention with these unrealistic names.Names like bella jacob edward all very ordinary that explains ONE of the reasons it SUCKS I’M A TRUE POTTERHEAD WILL ALWAYS BE FOREVER!:)
Muggle. That’s all I have to say on this one. Either that, or Troll. For your sake, I hope it’s the second.
When the love of Hermione’s life left her she continued down the uncertain path to bring down the biggest dark wizard there was.
When the love of Ginny’s life left her she restarted Dumbledore’s Army and fought against those who sought to crush her spirit.
When the love of Bella’s life left he she curled into fetal position, went numb for months, and jumped off a cliff.
Wow, it’s a good thing I know you’re just Trolling, cause if you were dead serious about this I’d have to say that you were the biggest idiot I’ve ever come across on the internet…
Oh my Gosh,
Draco,Bellatrix and Regulus are all names of constalations,so get a life I love them and Harry Potter has been out for the past 13 years,yes the only made 8 movies but twlisght has been out for like what,4?.
I just… seriously. I’ll just comment the main one: Harry Potter. How is this strange at all? Harry is a perfect normal name, as in Prince Harry, for instance. And Potter is the last name of one of the greatest child literature writers of readers, Beatrix Potter, of the tales of Peter Rabbit. So, please, just… just… oh boy, I don’t even know what advice to give you.
Merlin… Please say you’re joking… Please please please! It has to be a joke… WHY WOULD YOU GO TO ALL THIS TROUBLE FOR A RUBBISH JOKE???
I’m going to act as though this isn’t a joke, just in case you actually do mean it. I’ll start with the obvious and work through your points.
1) Hermione is a name. I know several people named Hermione. JK Rowing deliberately chose an unusual name – she said she was worried that clever girls with unusually large teeth or bushy hair would be bullied for sharing the character’s name, so she chose one that wasn’t too common.
2) There’s something wrong with you if the name Ron makes you instantly think of Ronald McDonald… It’s a name. It doesn’t have to belong to one person only.
3) Harry is a perfectly valid and common name, and is not even pronounced “hairy” in an English accent. JK Rowling, as an English author, probably never even considered the idea that it sounded like “hairy”, let alone cared about it.
4) The Luna/Loony thing is used in the book. It’s clearly deliberate – it fits with her character perfectly. She knows she’s a bit strange, and that people call her Loony because of it, but she doesn’t care. She’d rather be the person she really is. The name shows that quality of hers very well. And apart from that, I think the name Luna is beautiful. It means “the moon”, and I think that suits her perfectly, with the slightly mysterious quality.
5) There’s nothing wrong with unusual names, especially in this context. (And in fact, they aren’t really that unpronounceable or anything) The wizarding society in Harry Potter is totally separate from our Muggle world. There are different trends, different norms and even entirely different families with different surnames, so it’s very likely that names would seem unusual to us. It’s just like going to another country or something – it’s a different culture. Also, as I’ll cover later, there are often very good reasons for choosing these particular names, which can NOT be said of Twilight.
6) Hagrid. For goodness’ sake, it’s a name. There’s nothing wrong with it… My surname’s Read, it doesn’t make me a book. Likewise, Hagrid’s doesn’t need to be associated with hags. And it’s definitely not a decent argument, even if that’s what it makes you personally think of.
7) Sirius – I’ll cover his name later.
8) Hogwarts was not given its name to make you think, “Oh, how adorable, just imagine all those cute little hogs running around covered in warts…” I’m pretty sure it’s a bit of a joke…
9) Dumbledore – Again, I’ll cover this later.
10) Draco – See the comment about different cultures. This is particularly relevant here as he’s from an old pureblooded family that probably prides itself on having names like Lucius, Draco and Abraxus. Also, even Ron found his name funny the first time he heard it.
11) Marvolo Gaunt was also from an old family of purebloods like the Malfoys. They like to stand out and seem special. And apart from that, he lived probably almost a century ago – add that to the culture difference and the names are bound of seem strange. Oh, and if you mean it as Voldemort’s middle name, then it’s because he was named after this Marvolo Gaunt. And also, a name with those particular letters was kind of necessary to the plotline…
12) Just like with Loony/Luna, the Weasley/Weasel thing has been played up a lot. Arthur Weasley’s Patronus is a weasel, and Malfoy’s always using it as an insult. It’s just a little quirky thing to add in a bit more interest.
Onto my next section! The names in Harry Potter are a lot more meaningful and thought out than the Twilight ones, at least in my opinion. Here are some of my favourites:
1) Albus Dumbledore – Albus means “white”, Dumbledore means “bumblebee”. Can’t you picture Dumbledore wandering round Hogwarts humming to himself? With his long white beard? At least, that’s what JKR said she was thinking of.
2) Sirius Black – Sirius is the Dog Star. Sirius changes into a dog for his Animagus form. I personally love how the characters’ names can give you little hints into the plot twists… It adds a whole new dimension to the story, and gives you a chance to guess about the finer details, and look for clues. It’s wonderful.
3) Remus Lupin – One of the most perfect names of the series. I think it’s second only to Voldemort’s. Romulus and Remus were twin brothers, the founders of Rome. They were abandonned as babies and raised by wolves. And in fact, Remus’ codename for Potterwatch was Romulus! Lupin also presumably comes from “lupus”, which is the Latin for “wolf”. There we have two clues towards Remus being a werewolf – it would be perfectly possible to work it out before you find out in the book, and I’m sure many people did.
4) Severus Snape – Severus means “strict” or “severe”. It fits him well. Severus was also a Roman emperor, who was quite unpopular during his rule for being very strict, but who made a lot of good decisions and was regarded as a good emperor after he died. My teacher at school told us that she always knew Snape would turn out to be good, simply from his name.
5) Minerva McGonagall – Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom. Again, it fits perfectly with the character – apart from Dumbledore, McGonagall’s one of the wisest people in the whole series. If anyone deserves a name like that, it’s her.
6) Malfoy – The family name itself means “bad faith”.
7) Voldemort – The absolute best name of Harry Potter – the reason I saved it until last. Tom Marvolo Riddle. It’s an average seeming name, if you take into account the fact that he was given the name Marvolo after his grandfather. But then look what he rearranged it into – I am Lord Voldemort. Not only is that a unique name he can be recognised by, but it is also perfect in terms of meaning – it means “flight from death”. And that, of course, sums up everything he wanted to do. He desired nothing more than to be immortal – to escape from death. I don’t think JK Rowling could have done this any better.
So that’s about it. Again, I really really REALLY hope you were just joking with this… But if not… I’d like to say that I hope this has opened your eyes, but honestly? I don’t think it would make any difference once you’ve become this determined not to see anything but what you believe. Next time, just pick an argument that can’t be destroyed so easily. I seriously hope you were just trying to spark off a tirade from the legions of Harry Potter fans out there… Well, you’ve succeeded, haha. I don’t even know how long I spent typing this out! ^^
You forgot that Minerva/Athena isn’t only the godess of wiseness, but the war godess. It’s perfect for her. She’s wise, and a real fighter. I mean, except fighting in the two wars she had to stand to have the Marauders in her House for seven years! That can’t have been easy even if I’m sure she liked them.
Hermione is the name of a saint.
Ronald is my Dads name.
Luna means Moon
Hogwarts is the name of a FLOWER
Sirius is named after a star more commonly known as the dog star. And is spelled RIGHT
Bellatrix means female warrior.
Our Bella (BELLATRIX) is a warrior.
Your Bella couldn’t fight to save her life.
1. Better rhyme with “whiny” than actually be one like Bella.
2. [Me being a twigurl here] Ronald is also the name of a place in Washington. Same as Forks. So now you will not hate it I’m sure. Because we are neighbours.
3. But “Harry Clearwater” isn’t.
4. “Love is good?”. So in Twishit love is good, but if it’s in a character’s name in Harry Potter (read:awesome) it is bad.
5. If you’d had proper schooling you could “pornounce/prenounce” and spell properly. But your schooling is limited to Twishit so my condolences.
6. The best “hag” there is.
7. That’s like naming you “intelligent” as a matter of fact.
8. [Let me be a twigurl here again] Bella is weird! I mean bells are REALLY NOISY! And “a” is a gross alphabet! And a “bell” with “a” is EVEN uglyer! That’s f!@#ing retarded.
9. [Let me be a twigurl here again] Alice. Who wants a name with a lice in it. That’s gross.
10. Draco only makes him hotter.
11. It does sound like a Sexy, Tittilating Demigod (STD).
12. Again, better than the actual weasels called the Cullens.
13. For retards like you.
My additions:
These names were well-researched and appropriately named for their respective characters unlike names in a certain roll of toilet paper masquerading as a novel.
P.S :: NEVER INSULT SEVERUS SNAPE IN FRONT OF ME. Your cowardly vampires don’t measure up to even Severus Snape’s toenails.
P.S :: NEVER INSULT SEVERUS SNAPE IN FRONT OF ME.
I see what you did there 😀
Shut up, muggle.
I may love you.
I may love you back 😉
I am actually so offended by this, for several reasons.
My name is Luna. I am named after the moon and have not once in my life been called ‘Loony’.
I have a friend who’s surname is McNair. She is one of the nicest people I know. McNair is a common Scottish surname, so you have offended thousands of people in a single sentence.
It’s sad that you are so closed minded to diverse, beautiful and cultural names.
Also, you can hardly say that Renesmee is a ‘normal’ name, so you are not only an idiot, but a hypocrite too.
Thank you and goodnight.
Filthy muggle.
I’m going to die laughing at this x”D
somebody needs to sort out their priorities.
1.Hermione is actually an old English name, and actually since the books came out more girls have been named Hermione, its actually quite a popular name now. And J.K was being thoughtful, she didn’t want any grils to be picked on as in the first books Hermione was the geek and the nerd, and made fun of, she didn’t want girls who had the same name as her to be bullied, but she turned out to be a beautiful, clever, witty and thoughtful charactar, and lots of girls would be delighted to share her name.
2.Oh im sorry, did you ask J.K Rowling personally if she named her charactar after the dude from McDonalds? no im pretty sure you didn’t, so until you have that proof don’t say she did, because you have zero evidence to back that up, and how on earth is the name Ronald creepy? are you a joke?
3.Just let me correct you, i think you mean *course not corse. And Harry? im sorry but how is that a wierd name:L? its probably the most normal, common name you could find? i know loads of Harry’s and not once do i ever go up to them and i go ‘hi hairy’ because the name Harry is not wierd or abnormal.
4.Yes, congratulations, Luna sounds like Loony! would you like a medal? Luna is an odd charactar and is often called Loony because of her eccentric personality, Luna also means moon. It is a beautiful name.
5. DO NOT INSULT SEVERUS SNAPE. and by nobody can pronounce those names i think you meant just you? i have never met someone how has had trouble prounouncing Slughorn, Severus or Quirinus! Severus Snape is not a loser? pretty much all of the Harry Potter fandom love him, he died to save Harry, check your facts.
6. Hagrid is the most loveliest charactar in the whole series, how dare you insult him!
7. Yeah if Kristen Stewart was named after expression her parents would call her boring.
+ nobody insults Sirius Black. he is named after the dog star, as are all of his family are named after stars or constillations. Congratulations you can spell serious. That’s because his name isn’t Serious, its Sirius. They’re prounounced differently as well.
No he wasn’t beat up actually as he was part of the Marauders, the most popular group at Hogwarts. You claim you’ve read the books, but im pretty sure you haven’t.
8. Hogwarts is unique, it’s different, don’t even go there.
9. DUmbledore, means bumblebee, reflects him perfectly.
10. Draco means dragon which is a Malfoy tradition.
11. Marvolo does not sound like an std, its only you who thinks that.
12. Weasley – the best family in the books, the family Harry never had. If you said anything against the Weasley’s in front of my friends they’d go mental. The Weasley’s are the kindest family ever written.
13. Severus Snape, Quiriunus Quirrel, Bellaxtrix Black, Peter Pettigrew -its called be clever and orginal – which J.K Rowling always is.
muggle.
This is what makes HP fans hate stuck up Twilight ones.
One word. Renesmee.
I AGREE.
WTF?!?!!? there fictional characters in a magical setting, not a normal school in America.
I know people called Hermione, ronald and Harry, as a matter of fact, and how shallow would you have to be to beat someone up over an unusual name, especially when put into this setting where everyone has weird names…
Oh, and one more thing… STOP SAYING I MEAN, we know what you mean, you can think of other ways to tell us what you mean than just saying ‘i mean’
About the names. I am Polish, so names in Twilight and in Harry Potter are equally uncommon for me, except of names like Wronski, Karkaroff, Dolohov, Poliakoff – they are Slavic last names, so they sound pretty normal to me. I even have a friend named Dolohov (spelt Долохов or, in Latin alphabet, Dołohow). But Edward Cullen and Ronald Weasley are equally unamiliar. The name I often laughed at is Bella Swan… because Swan sounds almost like słoń, which is Polish for elephant.
you just made my day with that last comment, thank you xD
Elephant… this makes me immensely happy.
Oh, and ‘Bella Swan’ and ‘Edward Cullen’ are normal names to you, then?
All the Harry Potter names mean something and symbolize something.
omg lyk wtf wat kind of a name iz bella swan??
Luna Lovegood is absolutely geniusly beautiful and original.
Bella and Edward are boring arse names. At least Harry Potter names are original, interesting and some beautiful.
OOOHHH MY GOD YOU INSULTED DRACO’S NAME.
Right, bitch’s goin’ down. -takes out wand-
You’re uneducated, troll-ish, stupid, impeccably clueless and seem to think that a bunch of vampires who play baseball and encourage girls to fall in love with them, then leave them to get unnecessarily depressed is a realistic story-line.
By the way, good luck in life if all you can do is make ridiculous, pointless blogs about LIES and can’t even tell the difference between spelling and a spoon, let alone what you’re comparing the best thing evar (Harry Potter) to.
I’d also add something about the first and last name beginning with the same letter. There are people who give their kids names starting with the same letter as their last name. Example, my mom’s co-worker is named Sebastian Student, so both first and last name starting with S, I was in one class with Karolina Kowalska in primary school and with Magda Mogielnicka in high school. THREE people I can think of straight away, and I usually don’t bother with remembering last names for I mostly refer to people by first names only…
I started reading the comments, and I greatly support them all, good job putting this unbelievably unintelligent person in her place, but I don’t have enough time to read them all. I could explain every brilliant name in Harry Potter, but they have all been handled quite well as I could see. My main complaints are in the “style” of this piece (Here I am using the term incredibly loosely).
First off, every time I read “Ew” or any variation of it I wished you had been in front of me so that I could slap the shit out of you. What is wrong with you? That is a moronic way to try to communicate a point, or on second thought, that is not a point at all. It is not an argument, it is not even a statement, it is just an expression of your ignorance.
Secondly, before ever posting anything ever again you should run it through a word processor. Your spelling, grammar, and overall shitty diction made me hate what you had to say all the more. Do your best to not piss people off with the words you type and they may consider listening to your message (if you ever stumble upon one).
Finally, I have not, and will not read Twilight, because Stephanie Myers writes on a level far to near to your own, but she clearly has no grasp of imagery or she wouldn’t have named her “protagonist” (though she does nothing that would truly warrant such a label) who is supposed to be a plain-jane, everygirl for impressionable girls to relate to Beauty. Belle in Beauty and the Beast was beautiful and named Belle for a reason. Bella is an ugly, boring little girl who has no personality or abilities, thus the name makes absolutely no sense.
Now, jumping off of the character would take me into the disgusting dribble that Twilight fans would call the “plot” which is actually just a collection of words that do not form a story, but I don’t have an hour to gun down how preposterous the story itself is.
Try harder in the future, or just stop.
I can’t believe I’m commenting on this and your stupidity. Let’s go shall we?
Dear Filthy Muggle,
1. Hermione- JKR choose that name from a shakespearean play. She didn’t want a common name so other girls would be made fun of and compared to smart Hermione.
2. HOW IS SLUGHORN HARD TO PRONOUNCE?!? MY FIVE YEAR OLD SISTER CAN SAY IT!
3. Hagrid. His nickname.
4. Sirius. Canis Major, the dog star. He turns into a huge. black dog.
5. Dumbledore- I’m not completely sure but I know it has something to do with hard-working.
6. Luna- I, for some reason, think this has something to do with the moon. Anyway, Luna was done to purposely sound like loony as part of her character.
7. Ron? Really?
8. Oh, and Forks is such a good name for a town. Is it near Spoons? Or perhaps Cups?
9. NEVER MAKE FUN OF SNAPE IN FRONT OF ME!
10. NOT DRACO MALFOY! OK THIS IS THE LAST STRAW! *pulls out wand* BITCH IS GOIN’ DOWN!!
Let’s conclude this with a poem:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Insult Harry Potter
And we’ll Crucio you
Hagrid is his last name actually….but i intensly loved this post, particularly the last 3 points…oh and that poem…that was awesome,lol
I don’t know why I’m commenting on this or your stupidity. Let’s begin shall we?
Dear Filthy Muggle,
1. Hermione- JKR chose this name from a Shakspearean play because she didn’t want a common name for girls to be made fun of for being smart (something you aren’t), frizzie haired, ect.
2. Ronald? Really? It’s a perfectly normal name.
3. What’s wrong with Harry? It sounds like hairy. And your point is? Edwart sounds like Edwart.
4. Luna- I have a feeling JK wanted this to have something to do with the moon. Luna was suppost to sound like Loony. It’s part of who she is.
5. HOW THE HELL IS SLUGHORN HARD TO PRONOUNCE?!? I COULD SAY IT WHEN I WAS 8!!
6. Hagrid is his last name. His nickname…
7. Sirius- Canis Major. The dog star. He turns into a HUGE BLACK DOG!! Oh and don’t insult Sirius. Ever.
8. Oh, and Forks is a perfectly good name. Is it near Knives? Or perhaps Cups?
9. Dumbledore- I’m not entirely sure but I know this has something to do with hard working. AND NEVER. INSULT. ALBUS. DUMBLEDORE. IN. FRONT. OF. ME.
10. Bellatrix- Look at the first four letters
11. Weasley- So? My last name sounds like Road.
12. OH GOD YOU INSULTED MALFOY’S NAME!! THIS IS THE LAST STRAW!*takes out wand* BITCH IS GOIN’ DOWN!!
Let’s conclude this with a poem:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Insult Harry Potter
And we’ll Crucio you
I suppose “Renesmee” is a normal-sounding name, then?
“Sirius” and “Bellatrix” are the names of stars. Look them up. Sirius is the second-brightest star that can be seen from Earth, and the Black family has a tradition of naming their children after stars. “RAB” is “Regulus Arcturus Black”, named for two.
“Bella Swan” is a cheap, 99p-Store “symbolic” way of saying “beautiful swan.”
Do you even know what the name “Cullen” means? It has a long etymology which connectes it to the verb “to cull”, meaning “to mass slaughter”.
Exactly. At least Rowling came up with original names, instead of just mashing two together. Renesmee? Is that supposed give off a classy vibe? The only vibe I get from “Renesmee” is that she should be snorting coke in an inner-city restroom with her main bitches Shaniqua and Janaynay.
thats really ofensive youre relly stereotypng!!
Because insulting people with actual realistic names (Ronald, Harry, Luna) totes isn’t offensive at all, either.
Also, it didn’t slip by me that the reasons you gave for not liking the HP names all seem to stem from the fact that you either 1. Don’t know the meaning behind the name, or 2.Think it sounds funny, so it’s not worth your time. Don’t try to BS me and say that you do know the meaning, because if you did you would know that Sirius is the Dog Star, Luna means moon, Draco means dragon, and McNair is a common last name in Scotland and Ireland. Research is your friend, dear LizzieBella.
Also, where is your defense of Twilight names? Are we supposed to believe that those are better based on the fact that they’re “realistic?”
Twilight names aren’t necessarily bad, just horribly dull and clichéd. As every other commenter on this post has mentioned, sticking your main protagonist with a name that means “beautiful swan” is just gag-inducing. Who can empathize with a character named Mike or Jessica? While these may be “realistic,” they’re boring and flat. (Would you read a 400+ page book about a guy named Bob?) I would much rather read about Hermione Granger or Neville Longbottom.
Another point you might want to consider: most of the HP names you pick on are wizard names, meaning they’re not really supposed to be “realistic.”
there should be a fanfic about that
Lizzbella you are doing the same thing she is so shut it
Okay, seriously? Harry Potter names do NOT “suck.” They’re original and unique. Names like “Edward,” “Bella,” and “Jacob” are uninteresting.
Honestly, I was going to say some more things about this stupid little article, but I’m not going to even waste my time. I hate you. I wish you would just get a life and shut this website down! If this is a “Fan-site for Twilight,” then tell me why there are soooo many articles on why you hate Harry Potter? Hmmm…I believe you’re just another obsessed Twilight fan who loves Harry Potter secretly. Thing is, you just won’t admit it.
THIS DOES NOT HAVE ANY SENSE AT ALL. WHY JUDGE THE BOOK BY MERE NAMES?! oh come on! this is how TRUE MORONS think. you may have it your way dumbass!
Come on guys, don’t insult the muggles by calling her that. I think “troll” is appropriate because she’s obviously retarded.
I almost just died. Best comment ever!
I just wanna say that Potterheads are the generally the most loyal, determined, courageous & intelligent people in the world (there are some dunderheads that are rude to decent Twihards such as my friends) & most Twihards I’ve met via the internet are rude, stupid, illiterate, failures in life & cannot for the sake of ANYTHING spell a singly word correctly.. I understand the concept of text talk, but it was created purely for TEXTING hence it’s name… Please please please someone get me some chocolate…. -_- People these days are just appalling…
It’s okay, I understand. You haven’t gotten your letter to Hogwarts yet and you’ve convinced yourself that Hogwarts/Harry Potter/Everythinggoodandamazinginlife is stupid. Potterheads all over the globe are better off without you.
*major facepalm*
Even if the names are funky, you can’t judge a book by it’s cover, what the actual f**k.
What happened to people these days…
You are an idiot.
1. You can’t spell.
2. Are you going to freak out every time you hear the name Harry?
3. You probably haven’t even read Harry Potter.
4. What’s your idea of a “good name”
5. You say that people don’t want to read bad words but you actually curse after every sentence.
Let me say this again: YOU ARE AN IDIOT.
Meanings aside, cuz everybody else has already posted about them, what makes Harry Potter special is the choice for names. It is a whole new world, which JK CREATED, not copied or anything. Sure, she puts some characters, like Merlin, as a reference for great wizards we *muggles* know of, so we can relate with the book. The names give the story this sense of uniqueness. They are strange names, new names, in a strange, new world. I did, for some time, like Twilight; I read all the books when they were out. Today, I’m not that much of a fan, but I’m not judging your taste for books, since I also liked them. But we’ve all got to admit, being fans or not, that what Meyer did was kinda creepy. I mean, she put vampires, which were vile creatures of the night, in a position quite sarcastic. I mean, they sparkle, enough said.
Names in Twilight are normal names, everyday names. It is common to find Bellas, Edwards, Jacobs, just like Harrys and Rons. But the names you called “strange” and “difficult to pronouce”, apart from the fact of having great meanings (as stated many times above) make the whole “wizarding world” idea even better.
As Howard, from The Big Bang Theory once said, “Believe in magic, you muggle”
PS: if there is something wrong with my grammar or word choice, I’m sorry, but my native language is not English; I’m doing the best I can 🙂
Why is it always a competition??Does something always have to bee the best in life??Why should you care if more people like Harry potter?I have seen/read both series of books and although i am more fond of Harry potter does it mean i should i hate twilight and the fans of it?Joe Rowling did a thing that not many other authors can do.She made this magical world, invented these names not to be called “gross” and “creepy” by someone who hates harry potter for no sensible reason.She has taught us that if at first you don’t succeed keep going, stay strong, face your enemies and don’t be afraid to be different.Twilight is good, entertaining but Harry potter is just as good, so next time you give a sad post on how you hate harry potter, think about is it necessary , what am i getting out of it.What’s the point of it?x
I just love how you actually think the books are in the same league and your general synopsis of the books are so flawed that I actually laughed so much, just thank you for the great comedy. I am South African, and this blog just strengthens my belief that Americans are really not on the foreground of academics and multilateral thought. Great fun. Please tell me not all Americans are so uneducated and ironically mentally challenged? To think this halfwit wants to compare a 7 series book that took years to write against a half assed 4 series book that one can only think is for the light headed of readers, and before the twihards go off on me I actually read all the books, in no less than 4 days. Found the plot thin and characters really transparent at best.
Thank you
no….. just the ones who like twilight.
Not all of us are but enough for you to be allowed that assumption…
That’s because JK Rowling actually has imagination.
Dude….What? My IQ dropped reading this -.-
Harry and Ronald are two very common and normal names! All the names in Harry Potter are symbolic. Whereas “Bella Swan” means “beautiful swan”, big wow.
If you want to moan about “creepy names” I suggest you consult your precious Twilight book.
For example: Emmett, Rosalie, Esme, Renesme? These are the un-realistic names. Get your fucking facts right before you bitch.
Not saying I’m a twilight fan, BUT, Emmett, Rosalie and Esme are very old names that were appropriate for the time period that those vampires were born in.
-weeps-
Your stupidity surpasses even Twilight levels.
Someone please put a bullet in it’s head.

You’re that special.
I don’t need to say much more as the Potterheads here have got it all covered. But seriously.
SERIOUSLY?
You’re an idiot.
Oh my god you are so fucking stupid. J.K. Rowling created these names to be unique. All Meyer could come up with is Jacob and Edward. And it makes me laugh really hard that half the things in here are spelled wrong. Sirius is spelled that way not after an expression, but after a constellation. And the alliteration names? My initials are H.H. so, yeah, alliteration exists you dumb fuck. And you obviously had nothing better to do than try and argue the “books” you call Twilight with the wonderful piece of art that is Harry Potter. Nice try though. But you’re a complete dumbass.

My initials are H.H. so, yeah, alliteration exists you dumb fuck. Almost all of the names in Harry Potter have something to do with the character, are named after special people in Rowling’s life, or have other meanings. They actually MEAN SOMETHING. And you obviously had nothing better to do than try and argue the “books” you call Twilight with the wonderful piece of art that is Harry Potter. I hope you know that around 3 million people are laughing their asses off at your stupidity. You are a complete dumbass.
Along with alliteration names, my best friends initials are S.S.S not even kidding. Better yet, she loves it and hopes that when she gets married her husbands last name starts with an S so her initials will be S.S.S.S
I have friends who love Twilight, I have friends who burn the books for fun. But they all seem to get along. So maybe if you just used this blog to express your ‘positive’ love for Twilight and not your obsessive hating of Harry Potter, we could all get along. Just stop bashing Harry Potter related things while being ignorant about most of them.
just saying.
I’ve read a few of your “posts” now; I started in an uncontrollable fit of ire, but have made the transition to rolling-on-the-floor-laughing because there’s just no possible way that these are someone’s legitimate arguments. So I’ll start by debunking a few of yours.
If we’re going to play the rhyming game, why don’t we look at Bella for a change, because you seem to point out negative things about HP while completely ignoring Twilight. Let us see, Bella: rubella and salmonella. German measles and bacteria related to food poisoning, now who would want to have a name that rhymed with those? You are conditioned by the constant advertisement of McDonalds to think of them whenever you think of the name Ron, most likely because you live in America. Finally, Harry is a wonderful and quite common name, just look at Prince Harry (who is a gorgeous human being).
But I digress, I don’t need to tear down your arguments to prove that Harry Potter is a wonderful series with richly named characters. It’s much more effective to prove something is better by /actually explaining how it is better/, something you should probably take note of.
J.K. Rowling has this fantastic ability to magic up an entirely new and unique world hardly related to our own. That being said, this ‘new world’ will obviously have unique names. Just like how each country will have different names when comparing them to another; you won’t be able to find a lot of Edwards running around on the streets of India, now would you? This adds an air of believability to her novels. I can more readily believe in and be immersed in a magical world with magical names as opposed to a magical world where the author picked from the top 50 baby names of that year.
Many names in Harry Potter contain a deeper meaning in their etymology, meanings that are deeply connected to significant characteristics of the person it is bestowed upon. Now, in the real world, it is rare that you will find a person who lives up to the name they’re given; some could consider this a fault on J.K.’s part for doing so. However, this is a great technique in literature. When you’re introduced to a character with a particular name, you are subconsciously forced to look at them with some preconceptions. Take Luna for example, her name is Latin for moon, and closely resembles the word ‘lunatic’ which also has Latin roots, meaning ‘moon-struck’. We are conditioned to view her as an odd and possibly mentally-unstable character, which she is. Your favourite character, Bellatrix, has a name that whose Latin meaning is ‘female warrior’. Quite apropos for such a blood-thirsty character.
In Harry Potter, it is not just a character’s personality that can be deeply connected with their name, but significant facts about the character him/herself are also (and often) related to their name. Sirius (which is purposefully spelled that way instead of serious) is not named after an emotion, but Sirius, the dog-star, and the brightest star in our sky. Rather fitting because he is an animagus that takes the form of a dog, and also ties into the motif of Black family members being named after stars/constellations, like Bellatrix, Andromeda and Regulus. Voldemort, can be seperated into a phrase in french, ‘vol de mort’ which can be either translated to ‘flight from death’ or ‘steal from death’. Either way, his name implies how he escaped death through his horcruxes. Severus Snape, has enough S’s in his name to more than qualify as an alliteration. Now say it slowly, ‘/Sseveruss Ssnape/’, one can only bring snakes to mind while doing so, and is thus an appropriate name for the head of Slytherin house. This is a trait shared by other, well-known Slytherins, such as Salazar, Narcissa, and Lucious; Draco is an exception, although still has a reptilian nature to his name.
There are other, less noticeable but equally awesome things about characters’ names in Harry Potter. My favourite involves Ron’s last name, Weasley. Weasley does indeed sound like weasel, and rightfully so. You see, Hermione’s patronus (the embodiment of her happiness, often related to love) is an Otter, a member of the weasel family. Marvolo might be a weird name, but I feel it was most likely used to facilitate an anagram between ‘Tom Marvolo Riddle’ and ‘I am Lord Voldemort’, this middle name might not have a significant meaning, but come on, Stephanie Meyer couldn’t dream of coming up with something that creative. That’s just one of J.K. Rowling’s many talents, being able to write absolute perfection
((I can go on all night, but I’m sure you all have had enough of me))
All of the names have a meaning, something you wouldn’t understand as you only see things laid out in front of you. That’s why most people hate Twilight. It has no deeper meaning, no mystery, no sub-plots, and no reason to be read.
Example, most of the names from the Black family are after stars and astronomical features. [Such as Sirius, Regulas, Andromeda, Bellatrix (which seriously? You’re insulting that and defending “Bella”?), Draco, etc.] This could be because pure-blood wizards see themselves as obnoxiously important and above everyone else, so they named their children after stars.
If you look at nearly any name in the series, you can find a pattern or a hidden meaning. By doing this, you can almost immediately tell if someone’s good or evil [Example: “Ronald”. If you look it up, it means “ruler’s counselor”. He’s Harry’s best friend and helps him with everything from the start. On the other hand: “Draco” means snake. Not only is he put in Slytherin, he’s seen as a treacherous, cowardly character who can’t be trusted.]
I think the reason you find it weird is because it adds another dimension to the books, one that you can’t understand. Twilight doesn’t give fans the same ‘problem’ because no thought goes into the details of it. All your blog proves is one more reason Harry Potter is better. Congrats!
i think im in love with you
I want to hug you.
Dear twitard,
I’m sorry you can’t hear yourself think with your one braincell over the sound of our theme park
Sincerely, the supermegafoxyawsomehot Harry Potter
I honestly feel bad for you and those other twilight fans, so ignorant. And I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of our theme park!!!!!!
How can you be this LOW, huh?
Then, can I compare Twilight’s Character names?
1. Bella Swan. ‘Swan’? What’s that? A bird? A weird name, okay?
2. Jacob Black. This is even weird, a biscuit’s name. Plus, BLACK!
Haha. I’m very sorry, but, it’s just too ridiculous actually.
Just bear in your mind that,
“TWILIGHT IS NOT EVERYTHING!”
Just surfed in by accident. I’m neither a HP nor a twilight fan so i don’t feel the angst and emotion. I think Twilight is boring, with the whole idea of obsession and the people having nothing much to do but go to war over trivial romance. As the Potter fans have mentioned the names have meaning and basing on the feel of the words isn’t accurate. On first browse viewers will feel confused by the vast colorful descrips.
Still i applaud that you continue to post despite the outrage and angry flames being received. It is not easy to be stoic for i had a similar case but entirely different reasons. The best way to improve is to read other books and work on spelling, and think through before posting. Keira knightley is dyslexic too and she has shown to be talented. Don’t feel down. Perhaps this is your way of showing passion for your idols? haha
1. What kind of name is “Hermione”. I mean WTF?! Sounds lame ass, and it rhyms with “whiny”. Who wants a name that sounds like whiny? Ugh
^^^Sounds like someone’s been listening to some Wizard Rock songs? What Kind of Name is Hermione?
Sirius Black’s whole family was named after stars. And plenty of people have what you call ‘alliteration names.’ Stop talking. Please.
Grow Up.
just to chime in on the whole thing against alliteration . . . Carlisle Cullen . . . does he not count? 😛
I admit the twilight books were good, but it made me loose the respect i once had for Vampires, it tells a love story,romance and drama, but Harry Potter is much much more and came before Twilight, The names all have meanings and are amazing. twilight names are no big surprise and are expected, nothing great there. Harry Potter books have everything any reader wants to read ,Romance, drama, action, adventure exc.
I Hate you twilight fans who dis Harry Potter when the Twilight movies murdered the books the books even murdered themselves for trying to tell one big damn love story, i swear we all no what was going to happen in the end, and the fact that Bella is so hung over on Edwards mysteriousness in book one to even think about getting it on with Jacob, then it all became complete and utter bullshit, there is even a twilight haters club in my school with 2,000+ members, i know because i created the club specifically because some stupid twilight fans put twilight posters all over the school. (there are a total of 4,000 kids at my high school)
The least succesfull Harry Potter movie made 90 million$ more than the most succsessful twilight movie.
Robert P. even admitted to disliking the fact that he was even in the Twilight movies and We harry potter fans have been fans of Robert P. before you twilight fans discovered twilight. Robert played Cedric Diggory (not that you care to know) in Harry Potter Goblet of Fire.
Also hate to burst your bubble, but EDWARD IS IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM OR EVEN CLOSE TO BEING A VAMPIRE. he is a PIXIE! Facts Pixies sparkle in the sunlight, they live in/ near the forests, they drink the blood of animals or humans, need i say more -.- .
And double face palm with Chuck Norris, because of you I HAVE LOST AND NEVER WILL GAIN BACK FAITH IN HUMANITY, GOD I HOPE YOU DON’T BREED OR THE WORLD WILL BE SCREWED WITH DUMB CUNTS LIKE YOU!!!
You really are bashing on Harry potter. When 1 twighlight ruins vampires by 1 making them sparkle like a fucking fairy, two not drink human blood when they are suppose two, three not fucking a girls brains our when she is all for it, four Edward was part of Harry potter before twighlight came out dumbfuck, five at least all of our characters have kore than one expression. All Bella knows is depression. At least all of our characters keep their shirts on most of the time. Our characters have motivation for what they are doing. Our story builds up a relationship through 7 books instead of them getting together in boOk one. So you thing Harry potter is bad you are fucking stupid. Now go love yOur pale sparkly fairy boy who doesn’t act like a vampire
ok, Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban came out 2004. One of the characters was named Sirius Black he is a animagus and can be a big black dog. A friend of Sirius i Lupin, lupin is allso a werewolf.
The very first Twilight book came out 2008 and one of the characters was named Jacob BLACK he
was obviusly a werewolf. hmmm sounds familliar!!!
ofc you can like crap if you want to! but dont say that Harry Potter is a bad book, i mean Rowling was the first person who make wizards look like ordinary people, before they looked like very old men with big beards and so on.
Meyri (or whatever shes called) was the first who maked vampires, look at people when they are asleep? sparkel? She is not even first with the idea of a vegetarian vampire, i read a book some days ago about a vampire who not wanted to eat (or drink) human blood, the book was written in 1995
Vampires are dead right? and sperm is living right? so HOW THE FUCK DID SHE BECOME PREGNANT???
AHH! THE HORROR! THE HORROR!
SMeyer used common names. So what? It’s BORING!
J.K. Rowling used creative, fabulous-looking names which had meanings behind them.
Know the difference…
1. The name Hermione comes from Greek mythology and is in Shakespeare’s play “The Winter’s Tale”.
2. Okay, first of all I’m pretty sure JK was not thinking about Ronald McDonald when she named Ron. Ronald is a fairly average name.
3. Harry (like Ron) is an average name, Rowling got his name from some kids with whom she played in Winterbourne, England. She went with a name she knew.
4. Luna means moon, and sorry, but you weren’t the first to come up with Loony Lovegood. Also, I went to high school with a Loveless, so I imagine Lovegood isn’t that unrealistic.
5. Unpronounceable names Slughorn is pronounced just how it’s spelled. Slug horn. Speaking of unpronounceable names, I don’t know about you but I had no freaking clue what Carlisle’s name was until I saw the movie.
6. Never insult Rubeus Hagrid in front of me.
7. Sirius is not named after the emotion serious. Sirius is named after the constellation Sirius, which is a dog. It plays of the fact that he is an Animagus and transforms into a dog.
8. When Rowling came up with Hogwarts she just wrote down a bunch of (I would assume random) names and she liked Hogwarts best. I do agree that it’s weird, but it’s original and to me it’s special.
9. Dumbledore is old English for Bumblebee, which suggest that Dumbledore has a hard working nature.
10. Draco is also named after a constellation of (you did get it right) a Dragon, it’s also Latin for Dragon. But it seems to be tradition in dark wizarding families to name children after constellations or stars.
11. Marvolo was created by JK so he could have Tom Marvolo Riddle be an anagram for I am Lord Voldemort. His grandfather’s name was also Marvolo.
12. Weasley is supposed to sound like Weasel. Rowling once again made this up. Besides, who cares if the Weasley’s have a weird last name. They are pretty much the greatest family ever. (Lame argument I know, but I don’t really care.)
I do agree that Twilight has some pretty cool names, Jasper and Emmett are cool, very old names. But most of the “weird” Harry Potter names have reasons behind them.
A lot of the names are popular British names. Prince Harry is the brother to Prince William, who recently got married, and will be the next King of England. J.K. Rowling wanted Hermione’s name to be different. I have met pleanty of people that have the name of Ron. A lot of names also come from ancient myths. I think they’re Latin. The name Remus and the name Lupin both have something to do with a wolf. Remus Lupin is a werewolf. Siruis is the largest star in the constellation of the dog. Sirius Black can turn into a dog. I’m sorry if you think everyone should have the same name as you and your friends.
Okay. You think Twilight is better than Harry Potter. Nice joke. Hilarious. You’re calling “Luna” a weird name when Twilight has Renesme (or however it’s spelled) Carlie. HA! And being named after a fictional character and having a different name is weird? As a person with a “different” name, which is also that of a fictional character, that offends me. (I am a girl named Brett Ashley.) Luna, Ron, Harry, Yaxley, and Macnair are perfectly normal (names,) thank you very much. Sirius, Draco, Bellatrix, Severus, etc. have meanings of which I am positive previous commentors have explained to you. Hermione is one of the prettiest names I have ever heard. I’m surprised that you didn’t comment on “Nymphadora,” “Remus,” “Alastor,” or “Minerva.”
Get off the Internet,

Whoever wrote this, please read my reply to you.
because renesmee, rosalie, emmett, jasper, esme, carlisle, aro, caius, irina, embry, quill, zafrina, amun, kebi, siobhan, huilen,yvette, demeteri, nahual, santiago, garrett, eleazar, toshiro and randall are all every day names that you hear all the time and have good meanings. (thank god for IMDB is all I can say here.) You are immature, illiterate and quite frankly unbelievably stupid, a name sounding like axe, being unusual, or sounding like a fast food character does not make them stupid they may have a deeper meaning which you didn’t look up and you just assumed. Also Harry is an every day name so I don’t know how you can say stuff about that, it’s ridiculous.
I know this is insanely reiterative, but J. K. Rowling’s names are genius. From referencing ancient mythologies (Minerva) to clever wordplay (Draco) to just plain perfect (everything, honestly), she creates a world in which eager readers delve deep and discover.
Are you actually an idiot? learn to type right and get a brain. I have never in my life insulted somebody over the internet, but you are possibly the dumbest personSo I want to help you. I have a few tips for you.
1: buy a dictionary
2: read the Harry Potter books, I can tell by what you have written you have not, or maybe they are to advanced for your mental capacity to handle? If so I’m truly sorry for suggesting it, don’t feel bad.
3: buy a thesaurus
4: get a life
5: learn better insults, I can lend you a few interesting ones if you like?
6: stop wasting your life obsessing over Twilight and read some proper books, have you ever read a book that Stephenie Meyer hasn’t talked about, because I’ve read the Twilight books, the first time I was fifteen and liked them, the second time was a week later and I could feel the IQ points being trailed from my brain and I promised myself never again.
I don’t mean to make you feel bad and implying you are an idiot was wrong but I can’t fathom why anybody would write something like this, all the Harry Potter names are good ones, Sirius, Is in fact a real name so is Ronald, so is Hermione, so is Luna and I have a uncle called Harry, it is a shortened version of Henry, Sirius Black and his family as a tradition are named after star constellations. The names in this book are specifically chosen by the author to mean something, and the author wrote the characters with the name meanings or origins in mind. Luna has a nickname in Hogwarts, the other kids call her Loony, they are bullies, I know you must have gotten a lot of horrible comments for this this may be one of them but it’s not my complete intention at first I was angry now I’m confused, but the way you wrote this is illiterate and ridicules, the style of your writing makes me feel like you are a bully would you make fun of people in real life because of a name, I hope not.
I refuse to insult Twilight however, because I believe that everybody has the right to like what they like, I understand how you feel, when you come here to talk about how Twilight doesn’t “suck” do you ever take into consideration the fandom of people you are enraging by insulting Harry Potter the way you hate to see Twilight insulted? Each insult you preach about the Potterverse you invite an insult back to you with extra toppings, and you will get them, please try have some dignity with the way you speak even if you think it’s just typing and you can be lazy and write things like “BASICALY EVRY NAME IN HP SUCKS!!!!” and “DOUBLE FUCKING EWWWW” your wrong it makes you look bad, this is stupid, maybe you are stupid I don’t know, but in all honesty I don’t believe anybody is stupid everybody has their good qualities, the Harry Potter books and characters you are insulting taught me that, Which is why I feel so strongly about it.
If you have anything to say back I will check on again
Ok II take back the first paragraph I wrote, I’m sorry about that I didn’t mean to sound so insulting… it was the rage.
Are you really so thick headed? You obviously have never been out of the U.S.A, different countries have different names. No, not in your little world filled with such stupidity, heck, you probably think Asian people have American names as well. Different countries have different kind of names. It’s as simple as fucking that, America is not a country by the way, it’s a continent.
Before going on a rant about something you seemed obsessed with hating maybe you should get your facts right. Harry Potter is an amazing book series and will be remembered, whereas as twilight will be looked back upon with cringes and fear. ‘Sirius Black’ was not named after an expression, why on earth would you think that? He is an animagus that changes into a dog. ‘Sirius’ is the dog star, hence the origin of his name. It’s called being imaginative and actually doing research unlike smeyer who created the baby that shouldn’t exist. I’ve done basic biology and it’s not possible if she sticks to her own poorly layed-out rules. Edward is frozen in time and has no blood. Sperm is produced because of hormones in the body, hormones are transported by blood. He has no blood and therefore cannot produce sperm or get an erection. Why does this child exist?! There is a question you should be asking.
What are you talking about? J.K. Rowling came up with amazing names. I wish I was that good at coming up with names. All of them have meaning in them pertaining to the character, and they are so well done and had a lot of effort put into them. Collins is a very common name and has no real meaning. And really Bella Swan, Beautiful Swan, thats just an awful name and very very unoriginal. Also do not, I repeat DO NOT talk down on Snape! Ever.
MY NAME IS BELLATRIX! *coughs.* Sorry for the outburst. My parents are very big fans of the Harry Potter series. So, they named me and my siblings after characters in the book. My two brothers are Sirius Orion, and Draco Lucius. My sister is also named Lily Luna. I don’t see why you would need to comment on people’s names. They’re names for goddamn sake! Sirius is the name for a star, The Dog Star. Draco is the name of a constellation of a dragon. Bellatrix is a perfectly fine name, thank you very much! If you would’ve read the books, you would know that the Blacks and soom pureblood families name their children after stars,constellations, or astronomical bodies. (Regulus,Andromeda,Orion,Sirius,Bellatrix.) My friends call me Trixie, a way better name than some of that Twishit. Siriusly,*pun intended* Bellatrix and Isabella are practically the same name! *mutters, more or less.* Ronald is a common name and I actually know a pretty decent person named Hermione. JKR actually had the time to research names and meetings. Severus means severe, Minerva means strict and war, Albus Dumbledore, ‘White Bumblebee.’ Voldmort: I am Tom Marvolo Riddle and it means ‘Flight From Death.’ in French. Let’s see some Twilight names now!
Bella: Beautiful. Not that she really is…
Edward,Alice,Jasper,Isabella. Pretty common names. Let’s see who the better author is now. I definitely know who I will go for.
Dude, You got some issues. All those names are unique! And um….. Just not trying to be mean, But your name, Not so hot either. And guess what? I’m sending these to J.K Rowling 🙂
This is, by far, the most ignorant comment i have ever read about anything. i just had to point that out.
My dear Lizzie. The names of Harry Potter had more thought and meaning into thier names. But for the sake of peacefullness. Don’t bash a beloved literary series on the net. I personally don’t like Twilight but I wouldn’t bash the series for the names of the characters. I hope you agree to this if not that is fine too. Just respect the wonderful and unique names of characters in other book series.
oh, hun, i feel bad for you. you must not be right in the head. HARRY POTTER NAMES HAVE MEANINGS BEHIND THEM! that will be all for today, thank you:)
The names Malfoy, Draco Malfoy. Think my name’s funny, do you? I don’t have to ask who you are. Uninformed rubbish opinions? Overall stupidity? You must be a twigirl. Do some research, muggle
I love this comment. So much.
Okay, so. First off, My mom’s last name was Habuda (Polish), do not get me started on realistic last names.
Second, all of the names in Harry Potter are a bit odd because they are WIZARDS. They have different culture than us! That is just another factor that differs them from Muggles.
Third, my science teacher had a teacher named Harry Dick. No joke. Parents are evil people, so there is no name that is unrealistic.
Let’s see, Potter, Lovegood, Slughorn, Hagrid, Dumbledore, Weasley, Yaxley, and McNair are last names.
The others either have meanings, which are already posted or only a Google search away, or are only weird in your little bubble of idiocy.
Sirius is not spelled wrong, it’s the name of a star.
I despise burgers and Ronald McDonald, yet I have no problem living with a Ronald and hearing the name every day.
These names are British!!! Not American. There is a British girl named Hermione.
here are the reasons:
1. hermione means earthy, and hermione is that
2. ronald means ‘advisor to the king’ and harry is like the king (except in the 6th book… WEASLEY IS OUR KING!’
3. J.K Rowling liked the name harry
4.luna means moon, and luna is supposed to be like that. but she plays a very important role. she was intentionally airy.
5. ‘all those creepy unpronounceable names’? really? maybe if you had some imagination you would pronounce it correctly. and they are supposed to have unusual names, they’re wizards after all….
6.hes part giant, of course he isnt going to be super hot
7. uhh, no. his name was spelled correctly. his name wasnt supposed to be “serious” it was intentionally “sirius” because his animagus -i dont think i spelled that right…- is a dog, and the star sirius is in the constellation of the dog. and no, he didnt get beat up alot. that was snape. maybe if you read the books, you would no that. but no. you clearly are not mentally fit to read them.
8. uuhh… no idea, but its better than pigfarts (a very potter musical)
9. “dumbledore” means “bumblebee” in latin. J.K Rowling stated that she imagined dumbledore to walk around humming absentmindly, because he loved music.
10. draco is the constellation of the dragon, which is a reptile, which are supposed to be related to snakes, which was the animal of Slytherin, which was the house that Draco was in.
11.again…no idea.
12. Rowling chose that name because weasels are supposed to be bad luck, and the weasleys have pretty bad luck, but they are still pretty awesome. Rowling also stated that she likes weasels.
First of all, moron, Harry Potter is set in BRITAIN, and therefore the characters are going to have BRITISH names. That, my dear friend, knocks off your one and only argument (“The names are unrealistic”) as debatable. Because, actually, they ARE realistic.
1) “Hermione” is a Shakespearean name. Rowling took the name out of a character from one of his plays, because she didn’t want any girl who was smart to be picked on if they had the same name as Rowling’s character.
2) “Ronald” is not a creepy name. Like always, you’re bringing your very own opinions into matters–opinions that no one can convince you the opposite of, and therefore should not be put into a debate at all.
3) Who are you, Petunia? A Conservative woman who abuses children and thinks that she’s better than everyone else? You certainly make yourself sound like that.
4) “Luna,” as many others have already told you, centers around the moon. The moon has distinct feminine power, and Rowling is “all ’bout dat feminism shtuff.” And, like with Ron’s name, you’re just using your own opinions, not the entire world’s, and you’re DEFINITELY not being logistic.
5) First of all, if you can’t pronounce “Slughorn”–slug and horn–then you have some serious educational problems. Second of all, those ARE real names. Unusual, yes, but very very real. Just because you’re too simple-minded to pronounce and even appreciate the rarity and etymology behind the names does not mean that everyone else is.
6) Oh, how clever of you. How . . . oh, I dunno . . . UNEXPECTED. Attacking characters (and, as a follow-up, real people) for their looks. What a smart, smart girl you must be. Brilliant. Nice. Selfless. And you never EVER don’t think that your opinion is the only one that counts.
7) Sirius–correctly spelled–comes from the Black family. And y’know what the Black family did? They named their kids with astronomy in mind. As others have already tried to explain to you–“Sirius” is the “dog star” constellation. As for him being beat up–no. He was one of the coolest kids at his school.
8) We’re talking about a children’s fantasy novel here. What’s it supposed to be–Sparkles and Glitter?
9) “Dum” isn’t a word, my friend. You are very, very dumb. Is your last name Dumbledore? Of course it’s not–that’d be an honor.
10) First off, Draco DOES mean “dragon.” Second off, he’s one of the antagonists. Any author with half a brain is going to pick generally unusual names for the antagonistic characters. And anyway, I–and so many others out there–quite like the name “Draco.”
11) Is that what your boyfriend gave you last week?
12) Figured that out all by yourself, did you? *GASP* Yeah, “Weasley” is supposed to have some roots with the word “weasel.” Why? For reasons you could never grasp, probably, but look up “figurative language” and you may get the hint.
13) As always, it’s a matter of opinion.
Yaxley – A surname, not a given name. Maybe your surname is freaky as a fuck, hmm? And anyway, it’s so “weird” because he was a Death Eater–antagonist. I’ve already explained this to you in my response to your tenth point.
McNair – Once again, a surname. To a villain.
Bellatrix – Bellatrix was a Black before she married her husband. Therefore, Bellatrix is, I believe, a star.
Get a few IQ points, will you?
You do realize that you are making fun of wizards that can jinx, stupefy, torture and kill you using their wands?
You do realize that you are making fun of wizards that can jinx, stupefy, torture and kill you using their wands?

Yes. Slughorn is hard to pronounce. Everyone knows “Slug” and “Horn” but when they’re put together we all just freak out and say “Blubberboat” instead. No sarcasim.
Gente me desculpe voces sao americanos mas eu entrei nu site errado pensei que eu entrei no site brasileiro me desculpem foi um acidente Nao vao entender a minha lingua mesmo mas tudo bem
I truly an thankful for all of the hard labor you’ve done keeping this website going for your followers. I truly hope this stays around for a good long time.
Oh really? Harry Potter’s names are weird?
It’s called being unique. If you think Harry Potter names suck you’re also insulting Lord of the Rings. Want some names from that series, which are even more uncommon than the ones in HP? Eowyn. Eomer. Aragorn. Frodo. Samwise. Peregrin. Meriadoc. Boromir. Denethor. Faramir. Legolas. Gimli. Thranduil. Gandalf. Arwen. Galadriel. Celeborn. Elrond. Elladan. Elrohir. Ioreth. Sauron. Grima. Hama. AND MUCH MUCH MORE.
Twilight is totally uncreative and unoriginal, showing off Meyer’s complete lack of imagination. Names like Edward, Alice, Rosalie, Mike, Jacob…omg, how creative. Seriously.
THE NAMES IN HP HAVE A PURPOSE. Dumbledore is after bumblebee. Albus means white in Latin, perfect to counter the Dark Lord. Voldemort means flight of the death in French, perfect for a guy who wants to be immortal. Harry is not a weird boy’s name, I have guy friends who are named Harry. Potter is an ordinary BRITISH name, and J.K.Rowling happens to be British, in case you didn’t know. Hermione is after a character in shakespeare, so if you think Hermione is a lame name, then you’re also insulting Shakespeare. The weird names like Luna Lovegood, Slughorn, etc, are a reflection of the characters’ personalities. Are you seriously that dense? I never knew people as stupid as you ever existed. Severus is “severe” in Latin, which doesn’t take a genius to figure out. I certainly was able to figure it out without going onto Google Translate. J.K.Rowling’s PURPOSE in the names was to give her books a CULTURE, unlike Twilight. Do you know what world-building is, LizzieBella? It’s, well, building a world. There is practically ZERO world building in Twilight, while Rowling gave her books a LIFE with a new CULTURE.
While in Twilight, the name RENESMEE…BARF!!!!!! I honestly hope NO PARENT ON THE PLANET names their kid Renesmee. It sounds like the cat choked on a keyboard to come up with that ridiculous name. But of course you Twitards think it’s “creative” while insulting the “weird” names in HP.
I hope someday you’ll grow a real brain, because right now, just like that crappy Bella Swan you worship, you don’t have one. Bye.
Oh, and your opinions are about as convincing as Hitler convincing the world that Jews are bad.
you are such a shallow bitch. not everything is about looks. you shouldnt even write. obviously no one supports you by the look of the comment. you have the right to an opinion but i thnk you should just keep i t for yourself
Sirius and Bellatrix are named after the STARS, idiot!
Anyone else find it annoying that she can spell austere and deliberative, but can’t spell anything else?
And btw, how on earth are Twilight’s names realistic? How many Carlisles do you know? Or Aros? Or Embrys? Exactly. And I couldn’t count on ten hands the number of people I know who share a name with a character from Harry Potter. My whole peer group is made of Harrys and Hannahs (as in Hannah Abbott) and Georges (as in George Weasley) and countless others.
U R THE BIGGEST IDIOT EVER.
Ya, cause BELLA is SUCH an original name! Name one person u know who’s name is hermione?
Lol, My God! Is she for real?
Your reasioning is pathetic and you can’t be more than 6 years old. Go to school kid!
You know what? Our Bella could whoop your Bella’s ass anytime (and since you probably don’t know who our Bella is, it’s Bellatrix Lestrange)!
CLEARWATER> BLACK> STEPHANIE MEYER SOOO STOLE THOSE.
Ronald is a perfectly common name, and not taken from Ronald McDonald. Besides, he’s hardly referred to as Ronald in the series; he’s mostly called Ron. What’s wrong with that? Additionally, the etymology of the word refers to Ron’s character as a trusted and loyal adviser to his best friend.
Bellatrix and Sirius are CONSTELLATIONS, you dumbass. Not expressions.
Hermione is taken from Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale, because Jo Rowling wanted her name to be unique.
The etymology of the name ‘Harry’ also refers to his character as a leader. If you don’t know, look it up, you ignorant bitch.
Need I continue? Every name in HP is picked for a reason. Why don’t you go ask Stephenie Meyer where she got Bella and Edward from, would you?
If you’re trolling, I commend you: it was a success. You’ve severely rustled all the jimmies I ever had. If not… please learn how to spell and stop saying things that make me want to kill you, myself, or an innocent civilian.
I could rant, but I’ll just let fellow name nerds do the rest.
Twilight has good names because she didn’t put that much thought into them. Maybe she did, I don’t know. But definitely not as much thought as J.K. Rowling. Every character’s name means something. “Bellatrix” means “female warrior”, which she is. “Sirius” is a constellation, that happens to be a dog, like him. Isabella, Edward, Jacob, Alice, oh that’s so original. Do us a favor and stop posting your stupid crap.
I hope you follow in Bella’s footsteps and go jump off a cliff. Now stop being an idiot.
1. Hermione is a Greek name from a story in Greek mythology. It’s unique and it’s creative unlike most of the names in Twillight.
2. Ronald is an old Scottish name which means counselor/ruler. Thousands of people are named Ronald. And hey, at least Ronald McDonald made a name for himself through his own business.
3. Harry….are you seriously kidding me right now? Harry is a common English name and so is Potter. And there are also thousands of other people who have the same name so therefore, you just insulted millions of other people as well. And if you type Harry in Google, three quarters of the suggestions is relatively connected to Harry Potter. Besides, it’s fantastic to have a character have a common name like Harry Potter and seeing it change into a worldwide phenomenon.
4. Okay now this got really riled up. Luna is one of my favorite characters in the books and movies. She’s amazingly creative and unique but she also is prodigiously smart in her academics. She’s kind and funny and dreamy. Luna also means the moon in Latin you idiot. Lovegood may not be realistic but it is charmingly quirky just like the character.
5. Severus Snape is also another one of my favorite characters who deserves far more than he’d gotten in life after protecting the child of the woman he loved even though she married his life-long enemy. His name means severe since he comes off as a strict teacher. And you think those names are hard to pronounce? No wonder you’re so idiotic.
6. ….I don’t even know how to comment on this one.
7. Obviously, you’ve never experienced the irony or the satirical humor of a misnomer. Oh wait, the is probably too complex for you to comprehend. Just because someone is named Bella doesn’t mean they’re beautiful and just because someone is named Rosalie doesn’t mean they’re a freaking flower.
8. Hogwarts I happen to think is a great name, it’s quirky and it’s fun to say. It proves you don’t have to sound pretty to have one heck of an education system for witchcraft and wizardry.
9. Dumbledore means bumblebee which J.K. Rowling thought would be suitable for a man who’s whimsical and keeps humming to himself. It actually means something to the character’s personality.
10. Draco is a constellation of a dragon. What? You think a constellation is disgusting? And for your information, I think the name Draco Malfoy sounds imposing and stately which was probably what J.K. Rowling was aiming for since the Malfoy family was incredibly rich and powerful in the books. And yes, even you admit he’s hot!
11. Marvolo actually seems marvelous really. And I meant that literally, I always thought Marvolo sounded like a “marvel”.
12. Weasley is after a weasel. Seriously, is every single name that isn’t Cullen disgusting to you?
In short, the names in Harry Potter do not suck, you just don’t have the creativity to appreciate the uniqueness and the effort the author put into naming the characters in Harry Potter. . They mean something and some of them are actually insightful traits of the characters. They’re actually better than some of the names in Twilight. I mean, you wanna talk about names? Try Bella Swan. It means beautiful swan in Italian which is completely cliched. And just to burst your Twilight bubble, that wasn’t a compliment, her middle name is Marie which means bitter.
I’m sorry, but the last names CULLEN and SWAN make no sense.. Don’t even get me started on Renesme or Jasper or Emmet or Aro or Laurent.. Really?
You’re the same girl who has an issue with Bellatrix LeStrange… And again you’re hating on Harry Potter, and you don’t understand the names and meanings, just because you like twilight with you know common everyday names like edward and bella, doesn’t mean you need to hate on the names that are slightly out of the ordinary. At least most of the names in Harry Potter have meanings or are form history. This fight with what is better Harry Potter and Twilight will go on forever but when it comes down to it, Harry Potter was actually thought out and makes since when you break it down, it has a backs story for every character and twilight doesn’t. So stop this bs and just admit you actually love Harry Potter.
Somewhere in the middle of reading this, I got so frustrated that I took hold of the computer desk and shook it! I’m going to have to meditate for, like, 3 hours to get this frustration out. Anyways, since most people already commented on it, I’m just going to give a few reasons on why your reasons are stupid. 🙂
1) Hermione comes from a play by Shakespeare. Plus, JK chose an unusual name because she was afraid that if she chose a common name, somebody who shared the same name with big teeth and bushy hair would be teased. So, she was thinking of others.
2) Ronald is a common name and, I think, that you couldn’t come up with a good reason to hate the name Ronald, so you just came up with the stupid Ronald McDonald thing.
3) Harry is also a very common name for boys, so…. yeah…. you’re stupid.
4) The thing about Snape and Hagrid is very, very VERY shallow!
5) Dumbledore means “Bumblebee”, and JK chose that because she imagined him roaming the halls, humming.
6) Sirius is spelled correctly. It’s not supposed to be spelled like “Serious” nor is it based on it. Sirius is the brightest star in the night ski and it is also referred to the “Dog Star”, which makes sense since Sirius can turn into a dog.
7) Luna means “Moon” in Latin. I knew that when I was 10, and you don’t know that at 16?
8) JK’s inspiration for Hogwarts was when she went to Kew Gardens with her friend and she saw flowers called Hogwarts.
9) I’m not sure if you added Lord Voldemort, but I’ll talk about it anyways. “Vol de Mort” in French means “Flight from death” and it fits Lord Voldemort because he wants to be immortal.
JK Rowling did her research and picked names that are original and fits the characters and their personality, unlike Smeyer who just chose names that you can hear anywhere, and if you’re going to say that Smeyer did research and found a real town and school, JK used her creativity, like she did for the names, and created a whole new world that many people want to go to. Good fictional writers use creativity. So, there. 🙂 🙂
P.S. I know I didn’t add some names that she stated, but many others already did, so….
Oops! I spelled “sky” incorrectly. I spelled it “Ski” in reason 6. My bad!!
Before I even start to number things I have just have a few things to ask…
Are we really arguing about names? Really people? I mean Potter-heads, are we really stooping to the level of the ultimately low Twi-hards? I’m proud of my fellow Potter-heads for fighting back, but we shouldn’t waste our precious time we have on this earth – on this internet – getting upset over stupid, idiotic trolls that are doing just that – purposely trolling us just to tick us off. And comparing names that are completely different is just unfair – some are like good, juicy, flavorful pieces of meat and others are like… the bone under that meat: dry, lacking of taste, and probably not the best in your mouth or stomach. But because I love to argue with people I will hopefully never meet, I shall state my claims against these opinions now.
1. The name Hermione was originated from ancient greek mythology – daughter of Helen of Troy – and then was a name used in “A Winter’s Tale” by Shakespeare and I don’t believe it to be ‘lame ass’, but rather a name suite for a royal. And I am not surprised that you would point out that it rhymes with the word ‘whiney’, as it is something someone very childish would make such a fuss over.
2 & 3. Again with the childishness. Why would you even bother to think of the names in such ways? Ronald McDonald has haunted my nightmares since I was a little girl and I’m not exactly fond of the thought of a hairy man, I don’t go around thinking of them when the characters come to mind or into a conversation.
4. Luna Lovegood – as stated in the blog, Luna sounds much like ‘looney’. Well that is kind of the point, she Is a bit looney. As for her actual ‘looney-ness’, she watched her mother die in an accident when she was nine – that could be a contributing factor, how people deal with things like that is always different maybe that was her way of copping, though I would have done most likely much similar in her shoes – maybe she has been like that forever, I don’t know. And ‘Lovegood’ reflects on what kind of person she is.
5-13. At this point I didn’t want to read further but I did…. waste of my time. Just a bunch of BS. But I do want to make a comment on the name Bellatrix. I have a distant cousin, born a few years BEFORE Harry Potter was written, named Bellatrix and she is proud of he name, I myself would like to name one of my children Bellatrix one day because I find it to be a very beautiful name.
Now before I end this, even though you don’t read the hate mail, I must tell you something.
Fuck off before you get hurt.
The Potter fandom is very strong, powerful, and proud.
And us in the Potter fandom don’t take well to people insulting our fandom.
Because one of the greatest insults is to ridicule one’s fandom.
So stop insulting us,
If you don’t….
Don’t be surprised when you find our armada of hippogriffs on your front lawn.
Harry James Potter:
Harry: form of Henry, meaning “home ruler.” Rowling chose it because it’s her favorite boy’s name.
James: derivation of Jacob, “supplanter.”
Potter: “a potter.” Rowling had a childhood friend named Ian Potter
Hermione Granger:
Hermione: feminine form of Hermes, a Greek god with speed and luck, messenger to Zeus, patron of travelers, writers, and orators.
Granger: “a farm bailiff.” “In Fahrenheit 451” (Ray Bradbury), a character named Granger uses his photographic memory to memorize books. In the book “Frindle” (Andrew Clements), Mrs. Granger is a teacher who makes people obey the rules and play by them.
Ronald Weasley:
Ronald: “having the gods’ power.”
Weasley: Though the weasel is regarded as an unfortunate, malevolent animal, Rowling says they’re “not so much malignant as maligned.”
Luna Lovegood:
Luna: “moon,” probably a reference to her moon-like eyes, also that she’s a bit “loony.”
Lovegood: “simple and true affection.”
Do you not know what Snape even did for Harry. His interesting back story? Gosh your an idiot.
Rubeus Hagrid:
Rubeus: homophone of rubeous, “red,” “ruddy”
Hagrid: Rowling says Hagrid is an “old English word meaning if you were “hag-rid,” it’s a dialect word meaning you’d had a bad night. Hagrid’s a big drinker. He has a lot of bad nights.”
Sirus Black:
Sirius: “scorching,” “burning.” Sirius is the “Dog Star,” brightest star in the Canis Major constellation and one of Orion’s hunting dogs.
Black: “black,” “pale.”
Albus Dumbledore:
Albus: “white,” “wisdom.”
Dumbledore: “bumblebee.”
Draco Malfoy:
Draco: “dragon,” cruel Athenian law-maker, circumpolar constellation Draco the Dragon.
Marvolo:
(How the f*ck does this sound like an std?)
Marvolo: apparently a name Rowling invented to make Tom Marvolo Riddle an anagram of “I am Lord Voldemort.”
Bellatrix:
Bellatrix: “warrioress,” a star also called the Amazon Star.
“Draco. I mean eww! I mene hes hot but it’s a freaking weird name!!!!!!! It’s not normal and it sounds like dragon or something its so stupid!!!!”
Best thing about this comment is that Draco means dragon.
The best thing this dreadful page did was incite comments which furthered my awe of jo. Congratulations for making me see even more meaning in the book series that was my childhood 😉 you poor child I hope someone gets you the help you need soon. (Since my fellow potterheads did all the work for me in their comments it seems futile to rewrite them… since none of it passed through that thick skull of yours. But I will say, *raises pink flowery umbrella* NEVER. Insult Hagrid in front of me.)
Sincerey, a humble potterhead.
Sincerely* :p autocorrect do your job!
Yes, because Renesmee is just SOOO smart, right?! -,- filthy muggle
i’m sorry i was just gonna say something to this girl but, it’s no use i mean stupid people will always be stupid and the problem is that they are soo stupid thy can’t when understand why they’re stupid.
HP ROCKS!
Harry Potter names are the most Beautiful original ones EVER!!! Plus they have a meaning because Rowling planned every detail and researched UNLIKE MEYER!!!
And you idiotic troll Sirius is NOT badly spelled because it is NOT an expression it is the name of the brightest star in the sky, ignorant moron!!
Hey Potterheads, let’s lock her up in Azkaban!
I am sorry that harry potter characters have more creative names that are full of meaning, while twilight has ‘renesmee’
And honestly….Edward Cullen….Bella swan….?
Puke in my mothers mouth….
So normally I’m all for one’s right to state their opinion, but on behalf of the entire Harry Potter fandom, I’m officially revoking your right to state yours. You are just too damn stupid.
Harry Potter names actually mean something. Twilight names mean nothing. I mean, Mike, Angela, Alice? Really? Luna Lovegood, Nymphadora Tonks and Bellatrix Lestrange is way better, isn’t it.
LEARN TO FUCKING WRITE!
And Weasley is supposed to sound like weasel, because there is, like any other name in Harry Potter, a deep meaning. That’s not something you can say of Twilight.
Listen up, J.K came up with original names that have meaning, Sirius is a galaxy, Draco means dragon and is also a constellation, Hermione is also a star name, Ron is a perfectly normal name and is not named after Ronald McDonald. What kind of a name is Renesmee? She made names that are original but are real names that aren’t common and fit her characters. Harry is a perfectly fine name like Harry Styles, Harry S. Truman (an American president) and Prince Harry. Stephenie Myers names aren’t original and they are all really common and remember LOOKS AREN’T EVERYTHING
Names CAN’T be unrealistic. They exist, therefore are REALISTIC. Just because you’ve never bothered to look them up doesn’t mean EVERYONE is called John or Helen or Mark!
Now Renesmee… THAT is an unrealistic name because it DOESN’T exist before Bella butchered her mother and mother in law’s names.
Hermione was the daughter of Helen of Troy, AND the name of one of the central characters in Shakespeare’s play A Winter’s Tale, not that YOU would know who Shakespeare is but still.
Ronald is a common British/Scottish name and meand MIGHTY RULER/COUNSELOR or HAVING THE GOD;S POWER.
Harry Potter is actually a very common name and none but idiots connect it to hairy and potty. Harry is originally a German name and means HOME RULER. FYI Emmett sounds exactly like the Greek word for puke so I wouldn’t talk if I was you.
Luna is the moon and is actually a popular name for ladies. People have for centuries worship the moon so shut your mouth. Just because you are an uneducated moron doesn’t mean the rest of us are. And Lovegood is as much realistic as Cullen or Voturi is.
Slughorn as a word exists. Unlike SM who was only interest in getting to the sex and didn’t bother to care about all her other characters, Rowling actually troubled herself with finding unique and rare names for her characters. Again just because you are a certified idiot doesn’t mean we all are.
Quirinus you stupid, stupid person was a Roman God. It derives from the word quiris which means spear.
Severus was the name of a Roman EMPEROR -Septimus Severus.
They are not weird and difficult to pronounce. They are unique, rare and HISTORICAL names. If you can’t even read why bother writing all this crap? Just to prove time and time again how stupid you are? Trust me, WE KNOW!
Hagrid means to afflict with worry, dread, need or the like; torment. Suits him fine because his physical appearance can be scary. Just so you know a name doesn’t make a person a looser or ugly.
Sirius… Dear Lord…. Sirius, not SERIOUS, is a STAR! AN ACTUAL STAR FOUND IN THE CANIS MAJORIS CONSTELLATION! Seriously the only thing you read is Twilight and fashion magazines? As it is explained in the books, the Black family had a tradition to name their children after stars or constellations. Idiot.
Hogwarts possibly has its roots in the hogwort plant. JK Rowling saw the plant at Key Gardens before writing her series. You do realise it is a wizarding school right? I doubt they would call it Scottish School. They needed a unique name and they found it. I know it must be hard for you to understand with your puny mind but being original is something to look up to. It doesn’t suck as you so eloquently put it.
Dumbledore. JK probably borrowed and slightly changed the name of bumblebee, also called a sumbledore. And yes it is actually more commonly used to describe or name dumb people. But you see that’s the reason she did it. Albus always acted like such a carefree and sometimes loony professor when in actuality he was as brilliant as they get. Again a name doesn’t define someone.
Take you for an example. I doubt you have stupid, moron, idiot or dumb in your name and yet you are as stupid as they get. SERIOUSLY (that’s the expression FYI) you would graduate Idiots School with honours I assure you.
Draco MEANS dragon. It’s not weird or abnormal! It’s latin and an actual CONSTELLATION. Jesus do your research!
Marvolo, Voldemort’s middle name, is most likely a variation on Malvolio, a name with Latin origins meaning “ill will”, as well as a fairly famous character from Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. She already has shown us she does her research with her characters names. Unlike a certain someone who used the first names that popped in her head.
What do you have against weasels? They are cute and in no way creepy and weird. Now Weasley does derives from the weasel. Because and I quote JK: ‘In Britain and Ireland the weasel has a bad reputation as an unfortunate, even malevolent, animal. However, since childhood I have had a great fondness for the Family Mustelidae; not so much malignant as maligned, in my opinion.’
So you see it actually FITS the family.
Yaxley is a village and was an actual Lord.
McNair is the name of several schools and an AMERICAN football players quarterback, Steve McNair.
Bellatrix is once again a STAR.
Twlight has no good names. It has normal names JUST like HP. The difference is that in HP the author actually bothered to find names that suit her characters’ personalities, the history she had created and some not so usual. But they all are real.
I much prefer Hermione to \say Esme. Or Bellatrix to Isabella. And what about Jasper, Emmett and Carlisle?
Please.
Once again you prove us what an idiot you are.
Do us all a favour and before posting this kind of crap, DO AT LEAST SOME RESEARCH!
Nobody cares for your opinion.
Harry Potter’s a classic.
No one gives a fuck about what you think.
Twilight will NEVER beat out HP.
And also remember, UK names vs. USA names.
Just saying.
Okay I won’t go into detail about the meaning of the name as many people who have an actual intelligence and are accepting of things that are different have explained that to you.
Now the only thing I have to say about this is Renesme. Twilight has Renesme therefor making your argument invalid.
What do you call Renesmee? It was also unpronounceable! FYI
Hey, you know another “stupid” name? RENESME.
Also who’s Quirinus?
This actually made me laugh.
Forst of all, they live in the wizarding world which takes place in England, so the names are goin to be different. excuse if I miss some letters i am doing this on my phone. What about bella swan? SWAN. And luna is a brautiful name, the girl casted for her role was aneroxic but let out of the hospital to get her book signed. I know Harrys and my best friend has the last name potter. All of these names are unique and show individuality! This book series made my childhood. It’s obviously not going to have realistic names, this is a wizarding world, not some dumb american diner.
They won’t have weird names if you won’t think of something funny that sound like it. And if the names sound weird to you, use your common sense, they are wizards! And that story happened like 19’s or something. Modern names aren’t used that much yet!
Sirius. Serious. There’s a difference. JK obviously did not name him after a facial expression. She named him that because he’s able to shape-shift into a dog, and SIRIUS is a name of a very famous constellation, y’know made of stars, those things in the sky? So yeah, it’s not stupid. Ronald is a perfectly normal name too. Hermione is also normal, my friends name is Hermione. The names are supposed to be whimsical. As for Luna, she’s supposed to be loony, it’s called characterization. Something that good authors do. They put thought into their character’s personalities. Harry Potter means leader. Draco, simple astronomy also. Constellation, shaped like a dragon. Done. Dumbledore? It’s supposed to sound old and weird. Btw you spelled weird wrong. Dumbledore’s onehundred and fourty something years old, of course he’d have an old name. And you do NOT insult Albus Dumbledore in front of me. (See what I did there?) Hogwarts is a name invented in the 500’s, take that into account. JK so that people realize that old is sometimes good. Yaxley? His name is just awesome and badass. Bellatrix, it’s another constellation, up in the sky. Marvolo. ANAGRAM. Tom Marvolo Riddle. Switch the letters around and you get ‘I am lord Voldemort.’ Hagrid is meant to sound ugly, he IS half giant and has a fruit bat in his beard, but it’s all characterization, Hun. Severus. Latin meaning. Search it up. Before you even mention andromeda, that’s a constellation, too. All the constellation names are a family, get it?
By the way, next time you post something on the internet, spell check it first.
Are you sitting comfortably? Then we’ll begin.
1. Hermione: It is an uncommon name but that’s so as not many girls were bullied or teased for sharing her name. And whiny? Sounds more like Bella…
2. Ron: Not all Ronald’s are burger selling clowns! They do share a name but that is where the comparisons stop. There are honestly no other similarities! Get it out of your head, it’s a normal name.
3. Harry: I’ve read this before and it is a seriously lame argument. Both Harry and Potter are legitimate English names. They do not mean Hairy or Potty.
4. Luna: ‘Luna’ means moon, that is why Luna is called what she is. Also, the book itself recognises it sounds like Loony! And Lovegood is a weird name? What about Renesmee?
5. You can’t pronounce Slughorn? To quote yourself, WTF? There are less common names because there are so many characters who all need different names. And you think people should get beat up for their names? Really? You just get deeper into that crazy swamp.
6. Hagrid: First Snape, now Hagrid. How shallow can you Twi-hards get?
7. Sirius: If something isn’t spelled the same, it isn’t the same word. Got it? Serious, Sirius, different. Not the same. Complete point nulled. He’s actually named after a constellation, the Dog Star to be exact.
8. Hogwarts: No comment. You’re past hope.
9. Dumbledore: Wow, I never noticed! This name actually means Bumblebee. Oh, and if you have to explain a joke, it isn’t funny.
10. Draco: And she gets shallower! Looks aren’t everything you know, no matter what your precious Twilight says. Draco means dragon. And if you haven’t heard a name, it means it’s original. Unlike Bella. Or Edward. Or Jacob. Should I continue?
11. Marvolo: Oh my God. No comment. Yet again.
12. Weasley: One word. Swan. Enough said.
13. Stereotype much?
– Alliteration names- I have friends in my year who have the same initials. It happens. Deal with it. Oh and, Carlisle Cullen.
– Bellatrix- Verison of the name Bella. From Twilight. Therefore, it you say that names weird, so is Bella’s. Hope you’re happy with that.
And all the name’s in Twilight are good? Let’s see about that…
1. Bella- Generic. Honestly, her name literally means beautiful swan. So creative.
2. Edward- Again, generic. This name is so common, it’s unbelievable.
3. Jacob- I think you know what I’m going to say.
4. All the Cullens- Common, unoriginal names. I could come up with them in my sleep. No meaning’s, no nothing.
5. Renesmee- Original name, but so rubbish! If you’re going to come up with something, make it good I say! Do you know how many poor girls are going to have to suffer that name?
There we go, we’re done. Thank God.
AMEN
you know, if you pronounce “Harry” as it is meant to be pronounced with a short ‘a’ sound, it doesn’t sound at all like “hairy”. and that’s in America as well as England. also, potter is a normal English word, as in someone who makes pottery. although I doubt you’ll get any of this because evidently you did not make it past kindergarten.
Wow. are you really that dumb? Draco DOES mean Dragon. Most of the names for HP characters have a logical reason for being given to the person they’re given to. Sirius is seriously a name, even before HP.
Twilight names are simple, boring, and don’t even get me started on the extent of stupid and ugly that is the name Renesme!
At least Rowling put some thought behind her names.
This is probably the most horrible thing I have ever read. Honestly. First of all, learn how to write. Second of all, the names have meanings. Third of all, I thought I was somebody, so in fact, not everybody hates Snape. Fourth of all, Twilight’s names suck. Edward. Ew. Carlisle. Kill me please. Besides, we shouldn’t be talking about the names. We should be talking about the books. HAHA. Without your love thing between Bella and Edward, it would just be a girl that moves to a rainy place. Without the love between Harry and Ginny, it would be about a super bad Wizard trying to kill a teenager for a number of years. A war. Death. More deaths. Fight for what is right. I think we all know which book is better.
ok, listen up to some enlightening words, because you need it, you ninny!
1. Hermionie is of Greek origin which means “Messenger”. Makes sense as she is the person who provides ALL necessary information
2. Ronald is a Scottish name and has nothing to do with Mc.Ds. It means “wise counsellor”. Figures as he is Harry’s bff.
3. Harry kinda means “war chief” and he practically leads the Wizard War against Voldemort.
4. Luna means Moon. And it is supposed to sound like Loony, because awesome as she may be, Luna is Loony. and Love is Good. Idk whether JKR meant that, but I don’t see anything wrong with it.
5. ” No wonders Snapes a loser and everyone hates him and hes ugly!!!!!”
Ugly he may be(in the book), but NOBODY hates him. He practically saved the world and is the Hero of Slytherin house. Plus Alan Rickman just adds to his awesomeness.
Severus, Slughorn are all creative and out of ordinary. Seeing as they are in the wizarding world, different names are acceptable.
6. Hagrid means “bad nights”. And seeing as Hagrid went through lots of hard times and ALSO drinks at night. makes sense.
7. You just make us see how much of an idiot you are, again and again.
Siruis is named after the Dog Star in a constellation. Its because he transforms into a dog. It has nothing to do with the word “serious”.
8. Idk about Hogwarts
9. Dumbledore is a word for ‘bumblebee.’ Rowling says she wanted to associate his name with bees because she imagines him wandering around the castle humming to himself.
an alternate meaning for the word Dumbledore is a style of hat the was made semi-popular in London in the 1880s-1890s. Taking this meaning into account, Albus Dumbledore’s name would have the meaning “White Hat.” As I’m sure you don’t know, that is a term for the hero or protagonist of a story. Mrs. Rowling named her great champion of good “White Hat”
9. Draco does mean Dragon and he is also named after a star. Nothing weird with it.
Bellatrix is also supposed to mean “female warrior” and she is Voldemort’s right hand.
Now about Twilight:
Edward means “rich” Edward Cullen is a rich guy who was born in the Edwardian era. Soooo imaginative of Meyer?(Sarcasm)
Bella means “beautiful”
So Twilight’s plot summed up in two names: rich guy marries beautiful girl.
Kind of a put-downer for not so rich guys and girls who don’t think they are pretty.
Its what’s on the inside that matters, dipshit!
And RENESMEE!!!
What the fuck is that?!
I would kill my wife if she tried to name my kid that.
Its like S.Meyer couldnt bother to make up a new name so she mashed up two existing names and voila! I don’t blame Jacob for nick-naming her Nessie. Atleast he had some sense.
So “Peace Out” HARRY POTTER has better and more creative, imaginative and original names.
‘M out!
this didn’t make sense at all.
1. Hermione is a normal and beautiful name. Much better than a boring one like Bella. siriusly i like names that are inspiring, like, Lucilla and Hermione.
2. Ronald is a cool name. no more words.
3. you know, there is people on this earth…who just need a high five….in the face….with a house…like this person…
i’m not even going to comment on 4, 5 and 6, because they’re so stupid.
7. you know how to make an idiot of your self. Sirius is a star. also known as the DOG star. and let me inform you that Siriu’s dad’s name was Orion. in the Greek myths Orion had a dog named Sirius…
8. Hogwarts is a beautiful name.
9. It means bumblebee. muggle
10. it means DRAGON.
not commenting the last one’s because they’re freakin’ stupid.
the stupid Twilight names….oh dear….
Renesmee…..i hate the name..
oh my god…let’s make a name smashed together by the grandmother’s names.
then my name would have been Jennyrg…
see my point?
oh, and Bella, means beautiful…
wow, creative mind Meyer.
(Sorry, for spelling fails, i’m from another country soo…)
and another thing.
what good guys die in Twilight?
at least J.K. Rowling had the courage to kill good guys.
did Twilight have any qoutes like Harry Potter?
i don’t think so.
And to all Twilight fans: think about this…:
Dear Twilight, Our Charlie works with dragons- yours is a bad parent.
Our Bella was a psychotic fighter- yours couldn’t fight her way out off a paperbag.
Our James was a maraude- yours was a creepy guy.
our Alice still loves her son, even thought she lost her mind-yours is an irritating, overly preppy child.
Our Blacks are a complicated family warring between them over rights of good and evil-yours are two idiots who think they know everything.
Our Robert Pattison is a good, loyal, man who got murdered by Voldemort- yours is a glittering fairy-princess.
our werewolf died trying to create a better world for his son to live in-yours fought over a girl that was already taken.
our Clearwater is a prefect- yours is…..a rip off, off Percy’s GF’s name….
Sincerely, the people who want you to stop stealing our names.
Did you know one of the main characters in Twilight (Edward Something) Enjoyed playing the role of Cedric Diggory more than a lame “vampire” who sparkles?! http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1o6kqj2pS1qkbjzoo1_500.jpg
The man who played Snape is a phenomenal actor. Who cares if he didn’t look good in your opinion. He looked like Snape was supposed to in the book, which to some people means he looks good.
The Harry Potter characters may have weird names, but I don’t even know how you ever thought of Micky-D’s when hearing Ron’s name.
Another thing: The names in Harry Potter have really cool nick-names.
Example:
Hermione: Herms, Hermy, Mione, Granger, Jeanie (Her middle name is Jean)
Albus Dumbledore: Albs, Bus, Dumble-Bee, Etc
Sirius Black: First off, His name was not supposed to Be Serious. He was named after the constellation Sirius. The dog constellation. And I don’t know what you mean by “He was anything but serious,” He had some very memorable quotes and although he was known to be a prankster, or someone who enjoyed rebellion, he was very serious at times. Example: “I would’ve died! I would have died rather than betrayed my friends!” “If you want to know what a man is like take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.” “We’ve all got light and dark inside of us. What matters is what we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.” Just a few of his quotes.
Idiot. Shut your fucking face and think for once in your small brained life. If you say that the names in Harry Potter are weird then you are just stupid. All of the names have a deeper meaning then the ones in Twilight. The only good name in Twilight is Alice because it’s a classic. Otherwise the names are shit. Plus the lesson behind Twilight is that you need a man to survive. What the actual fuck. Females do not need a man in their life to live. J. K. Rowling portrays magic and adventure in a beautiful way as well as save people from killing themselves. Evanna Lynch, who portrays LUNA LOVEGOOD, was depressed when she wrote Rowling about her books. Rowling promised Evanna that she could portray Luna if she worked hard to stay healthy and love her life. J. K. Rowling saves people and Meyers explains the importance of having a boyfriend.
And P.S. learn to fucking spell, dumbass.
Um bellatrix and Sirius are actual names of stars and luna means moon bitch I do not think u are 16… More like 8
RON IS NOT NAMED AFTER RONALD MCDONALD! WHO THE HELL WOULD NAME PEOPLE AFTER RONALD MCDONALD? and furthermore, he lives in a wizarding family! wizards do not know anything about muggle fast food shops!
SIRIUS IS A STAR STOP INSULTING HIS NAME I KNOW ITS FUNNY AND IT’S OK BUT SERIOUSLY, SIRIUS IS THE BRIGHTEST STAR AS SEEN FROM EARTH (NOT INCLUDING THE SUN) AND YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW IT!bellatrix is a star, too! all the Blacks are named after stars. THE NAMES IN HP ARE WONDERFUL. stop insulting their names. YOU TWILIGHT IDIOT!
IM LAUGHING SO FRICKIN HARD I”M NOT EVEN OFFENDED CUZ SWEETIE U CLEARLY DON”T HAVE ANY BRAIN CELLS.
All of those names have MEANINGS. They tie into the CHARACTER.
What does “Bella” Mean?
Beautiful.
1. Boring.
2. Predictable.
3. Mary-Sueish.
HONESTLY?!
God, you’re a dipshit.
Hermione means earthly, messenger.
Ronald means ruler.
Voldemort means escape from death, which suits him perfectly.
Albus means white and Dumbledore means bumblebee
Hagrid means having a bad night. Hagrid was a drunk. He must’ve had loads if bad nights.
So next time you compare Harry Potter to a fricking love triangle consisting of a pedophile, a stinking dog and an emotionless girl, get your bloody facts right!
My feedback on every comment:
1. What kind of name is “Hermione”. I mean WTF?! Sounds lame ass, and it rhyms with “whiny”. Who wants a name that sounds like whiny? Ugh
It’s British. Get over it.
2. Ronald is a creepy *ss name. I mean , seriously who names a book cheracter after Ronal McDonald?! WTF! I mean seriously the name just brings to mind a creepy , burger-gulping ugly clown. EWWW! not to mention that i am against fast food, but still, the thought of Ronald McDonald makes me want to barf, I dont need reminding of THAT every time I hear the name “Ron Weasley” or read Harry Potter/watch the movies.
Also British. She didn’t name him after Ronald McDonald, in case you actually believed that.
3. Harry of corse sounds like “hairy”, and thats NOT a plesant thought, esp. for a guy. I mean EEEEEWWW! And “Harry potter”, sounds like “Hairy potty”, DOUBLE FUCKING EEEEWWWWW!
Also British. Please.
4. Luna. Sounds like “loony” adds to Loony lunas crazy factor. shes so freaking out of it thats its unrealistsic as well. And Lovegood. Love is good? stoopid not a realistic last name!!!!!!!!!
YES, LOVE IS GOOD!!!!!!! OMG!!!
5. All the unpornouncable creepy names. I mean seriously, “Slughorn”? “Quirinus”? “Severus”? WTF? Creepy fucking weird. why have stupid lame ass names that no once can prenounce right?!?! And besides, with names like those, thats the sort of thing youd get beat up for. No wonders Snapes a loser and everyone hates him and hes ugly!!!!!
Please add apostrophes to the names of the people. Also, please spell “unpronounceable” right and use it in proper context. The sentence, “All the unpronounceable creepy names,” isn’t right. There must be a predicate. Take the advice from the writer. Also, don’t cuss after you’ve signaled Molly Weasley out for cussing. It’s hypocritical. And if someone at my school had one of those names, people would be totally jealous. If someone I knew had Edward or Bella as a name, I’d just feel bad for them.
6. Hagrid. sounds like “hag”. nuff said. Course he IS ugly enough 2 be one……
YOU IDIOT!!!!! YOU JUST OFFENDED ENOUGH PEOPLE TO FORM A LARGE ARMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7. Sirius. I mean, who names their kid after an expression? especially since sirius was anything BUT serious. Thats like me naming my kid “austere” or “deliberative”. Yuk. He probably got beat up too. AND “serious” is even spelled wrong!!
How am I ever going to get through these comments alive??? SIRIUS IS NAMED AFTER A STAR NOT AN EXPRESSION!!!! AND WHY WOULD SOMEONE NAME THEIR CHARACTER SERIOUS BLACK ANYWAYS?????? YOU’VE EVEN SPELLED SERIOUS WRONG IN YOUR POSTS!!!!!
8. And Hogwarts is weird! I mean hogs are RELLY UGLY! And warts are freaking gross! And a hog with warts is EVEN uglyer! That’s f*ck*ng SICK!
Hogwart is the name of a really pretty flower. AND HOGWARTS IS REALLY PRETTY!!!! VAMPIRES WHO SPARKLE ARE UGLY AND WAT WORSE THAN WORTS!!!!!! STOP CUSSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9. Dumbledore. who wants a name with “dumb” in it? Gross. and it just sound stupid. It’s freaking weard and DUM! Lol get it? Dum/Dumb.
Who wants a name that is traceable to a sparkly vampire?
10. Draco. I mean eww! I mene hes hot but it’s a freaking weird name!!!!!!! It’s not normal and it sounds like dragon or something its so stupid!!!!
It means dragon. a) Learn Latin. b) He would kill you if he ever found out that you said that and you were part of the Harry Potter books.
11. Marvolo. IT sounds like an STD. Barf!!!!!!!!
*sighs* She’ll never get it. Can I be done now?
12. Weasley. it sounds like weasel and it’ sjust REALLY Weird and creepy!!!!
No it’s not. ONCE AGAIN YOU JUST OFFENDED ENOUGH PEOPLE TO FORM A LARGE ARMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
13. BASICALY EVRY NAME IN HP SUCKS!!!!
YOU REALLY OFFENDED ENOUGH PEOPLE TO FORM A REALLY LARGE ARMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I took out all the cussing I could find in this. And all the HP fans in the world could basically form a large enough army to take over the world. Siriusly.
Grr. I found some cussing that I didn’t take out. Oops and sorry everyone. This girl is a true hypocrite for dissing Molly for cussing ONCE.
Whoever wrote this is a fucking moron. I don’t say this often, but they be beaten to death with a cinder block. It would make the world a better place.
Sorry, just wanted to point this out: RONALD IS NOT A CREEPY NAME! My dad’s name is Ronald and that was kinda insulting to me when you said Ronald was a bad name. (PS He wasn’t named after the restraint) I promise that this not a prank becuz my dad was born before the HP series was started! Anyways, bye
Hermione Granger is a perfectly nice name. The name Hermione dates back to ancient Greece and was adopted by others, just like many names of origin in another language.
According to you my name (Francesca Brancato, a VERY Italian name) is weird and horrible?
The fact that you’re two years older than me is frightening.
Like everyone else said, the names do have a reason. I commented for the last comment however, saying how names that when first and last names start with the same letter it is unrealistic. My name is Eliza Ellis, my friends name is Charlotte Coldwell and we have lots of people in our school who have names like this ( Jack Jenkins, Moses Madlom). I know it sounds strange but it isn’t unrealistic or stupid. Okay ? Don’t even get me started on twilight names.
Ummmm…. Sirius wasn’t named after an expression (I guess you means the word Serious). It’s just the Sirius-pun he always used because they sounded like each other. He’s named after the STAR Sirius, the Dog Star. Just like the most people in his family is named after space (Orion – Orion’s belt, Andromeda – the Andromeda Galaxy, Regulus – another star). Get your facts right, please. And by the way, no, Sirius didn’t got beat up. Before Hogwarts no one should dare except his family because he’s a Black and they’re terrifying, and on Hogwarts he was one of the most popular students on the whole school. Actually, he was the one who beated people up, even if he probably used magic more than his hands.
And all the names has a meaning. I think the name Hermione comes from Troy, not quite sure thought. And Ronald… you do realize people was named Ronald before Ronald McDonald, right? And that that is an ordinary name? McDonald’s parents didn’t invite the name or something. Luna – Luna is the Roman Moon godess. Luna means Moon. It’s the NAME of our Moon. You know, the white or golden thing in the sky that shines on the night?
get em. get em. whoohoo
If you make fun of those names, I wonder what you can make out of MY own, unusual name, Eunseo.
Go on, laugh. Mind you, it’s a Korean name. And I’m Korean, so this name is quite normal where I am.
And also, no matter how hard you will laugh, I pride myself on this name and am proud to be the only Eunseo in school. I get amused all the time when teachers pronounce my name wrongly.
For your trivial information, my name is pronounced En-so.
7. Sirius. I mean, who names their kid after an expression? especially since sirius was anything BUT serious. Thats like me naming my kid “austere” or “deliberative”. Yuk. He probably got beat up too. AND “serious” is even spelled wrong!!
Sirius is named after a star, not the expression. And to further the depth of J. K. Rowling’s name choices, that specific star is part of the dog constellation which foreshadows his ability to turn into a dog. Rowling put so much more thought into her names than Stephanie Meyer ever did.
Another point, they are wizards! For crying out loud, you daft bimbo. Of course they would have unique names, they have an entirely different timeline of history to base them off of.
Da fuq all the names in harry potter are named after celestial objects. I mean not all, most of them. Eg Luna means moon Draco is a constellation. Sirius is the dog constellation, not an expression for gods sake!!! Don’t speak if you don’t know, ‘twigurrl’!! (btw twigurrl is a friggin weird as you would say for bellatrix) and some names are picked from Latin, French etc. Eg bellatrix meaning female warrior in Latin.
Harry Potter infact DOES NOT SUCK!! And before i start raving for all u dumbasses out there, Harry Potter came out first. Yall need to get ur goddamn priorities right, okai? Wtf yall talkin bout like ‘ oh Sirius is and expression. No honey Sirius is a name, whilst Serious is the expression. Let me stop yall right there, okai. Harry Potter is awesome and if you dont like it… do u see my cup of care? its empty right? thats how many fucks i give about Twilight. Okai, yall have a wonderful day!!
Okay, I can’t get over the whole “Sirius/Serious” thing. Sirius is not an emotion that is spelled wrong. Sirius is one of the brightest stars in our night sky, as well as Regulus (which is the name of his brother). If he was named after an emotion, then J.K. Rowling probably would have spelled it right…
I hope this is another troll, if it isn’t, here, read this: Hermione is from a Shakespeare play, it beautiful.
The nickname “Bella” was stolen from Bellatrix, her nickname was Bella before ._.
Ronald is just a pretty common boy name, stupid muggle.
Harry comes from the old german word “heri”, wich means war or warrior. And Potter is just a pretty common last name.
Luna isn’t “EEEW” or anything. Its a beautiful name, which means moon in italian.
Snape isn’t a loser, but you are.
Those names are really creative, so shut the f*ck up.
Hagrid is his last name. His first name is Rubeus. Stupid muggle.
Sirius is not spelled wrong, stupid muggle. He is named after a star, such as Bellatrix and most of the other members of the Black-Family. Sirius is also the name of the dog star, which fits to his ability to turn into a dog.
Hogwarts is not weird, its just kinda funny. It was named by a hog, cuz a hog leaded Rowena Ravenclaw(one of the founders of hogwarts) to the place, where the school should stand, or something like that.
Dumbledore means Bumblebee in old english. Because Rowling always imagined him walking around humming, like a Bumblebee.
And really, this man is wise. More intelligent than you would probably be in 10000000000 years, muggle.
Draco is a badass name. Draco means dragon in latin, and dragons are badass, so Draco is also badass.
Voldemort was named Marvolo, otherwise the “I am Lord Voldemort” wouldn’t work, and that is really creative, because its not another common name like Edward or Jacob.
The Weasleys have the name Weasley because they are red haired.
Bellatrix means “female warrior” in latin.
Yaxley and McNair sound pretty evil, don’t they?
So leave their names, as long as you don’t have better ones.
I mean, Renesmee? That name does not even EXISTS, STUPID MUGGLE!
Even Albus Severus is laughing.
Ok, now I’m mad! You DON’T diss Harry Potter names! This wasn’t in Modern Times!! HOGWARTS isn’t in modern times! Harry Potter takes palce in like, the 1900s, so what do expect? Modern names like Edward, Ethan that stuff?Get your facts straight. So check yourself because people wreck you!
Your an annoying preteen girl who seems to have never heard of a place called, “Britain”, and has never been exposed to another culture. Harry Potter names are fine and Harry Potter is one thousand times better than Twilight could ever be.
Get a grip!!! Can you say so faux? First of all, Hermione doesn’t rhyme with “whiny”.
Did you know the name Hermione originated from Hermes the messenger of Seus? In Greek mythology, Hermione was the daughter of King Menalaus of Sparta and Helen of Troy. The meaning of “Hermione” being well born, stone.
BTW “Edward” rhymes with “turd”.
All you Twilight fans are completely ridiculous you basically judge the books only after considering the looks of the characters and you don’t go even through the books properly.lf you are insulting all the names of the characters in the Harry Potter series, since they are all created in an unique way by JK ROWLING then I think you should also hate the name of “Rennesmi”(Bella’s daughter) since it is a common mashup name created by that stupid and good -for-nothing author S Meyer……..
Ok. YOU DID NOT JUST DISS THE AMAZING, STUNNING, SMART, CLEVER HERMIONE GRANGER! YOU BASTARD! I’M GONNA FIND YOU AND SLAP YOU OUT! K. Y. S!
I dont mean to be rude or anything even though im also a twilight and HP fan, but the way you said “ew” was really immature, the names are unique, some names in Twilight are odd like Laurent, and Aro, i mean they are unique, but they aren’t “ew” or stupid. What if someone in the word was named pooma, or something, there is no problem. Please watch what you write.
Hi!
Start insulting our series when you get a good enough one of your own- Edward watched Bella while she slept (really, Twilight?), Jacob was a pedophile for Bella’s daughter, Again with Jacob he went after Bella while she was already taken- do I need to go on?
Another thing, before you go off on our names then actually so you’re research;
5. Most well-read people can pronounce names like ‘Slughorn’ and ‘Severus’, so maybe it’s just you?
6. Hagrid was the first person to EVER act like a father figure to Harry after James died, so if you’re going to insult him based on his looks I’d suggest you take a look at what’s actually beneath all that- he was abandoned by his mum when he was a baby and his dad died when he was 13, after all that he kept his amazing personality and cared for Harry.
7. Sirius Black was not named after the expression, he was named after a star like the rest of the Black family. It is spelt correctly and a beautiful name.
8. Draco is the Latin word for Dragon. Do your freaking research!
I could go on… But I won’t.
Twilight pretty much copied names from Harry Potter, so I wouldn’t insult them without making yourself look stupid if I were you.
Also, I’m sorry, but I don’t remember your series having multiple theme parks and places dedicated to it
OMG This site is literally for Twitard fangirls and every here is roasting this chick on how stupid she is on even mentioning the name Harry Potter! I love society!
Just a bit about HP and Twilight names. The names is Harry Potter are RIDICULOUS! The names in Twilight are REALISTIC.
Yeah. Renesmee is so realistic.
1. What kind of name is “Hermione”. I mean WTF?! Sounds lame *ss, and it rhymes with “whiny”. Who wants a name that sounds like whiny? Ugh
Hermione was named after Hermes, the cleverest of the Greek Gods.
2. Ronald is a creepy ass name. I mean , seriously who names a book character after Ronald McDonald?! WTF! I mean seriously the name just brings to mind a creepy , burger-gulping ugly clown. EWWW! not to mention that i am against fast food, but still, the thought of Ronald McDonald makes me want to barf, I don’t need reminding of THAT every time I hear the name “Ron Weasley” or read Harry Potter/watch the movies.
Now listen here. That is stereotyping and stereotyping is WRONG. Ronald is a Scottish name that means “Mighty counselor/ruler”. So that means Ron is a leader. Not a clown.
3. Harry of course sounds like “hairy”, and that’s NOT a pleasant thought, esp. for a guy. I mean EEEEEWWW! And “Harry potter”, sounds like “Hairy potty”, DOUBLE F*CKING EEEEWWWWW!
Harry Potter is a hero. Hairy Potty is just gross. See the difference? Or do you need some more reasons?
4. Luna. Sounds like “loony” adds to Loony Luna’s crazy factor. she’s so freaking out of it that’s its damn unrealistic as well. And Lovegood. Love is good? WTF stupid not a realistic last name!!!!!!!!!
Okay. She WAS named Luna because she was supposed to be a “lunatic”, but she’s a very nice and brave character, no matter how weird or quirky she is. Lovegood is a quirky name that just adds to her quirkiness. Oh, and by the way, “quirky” means “weird in an appealing way”.
5. All the unpronouncable creepy names. I mean seriously, “Slughorn”? “Quirinus”? “Severus”? WTF? Creepy fucking weird. why have stupid lame ass names that no once can prenounce right?!?! WTF?! And besides, with names like those, that’s the sort of thing you’d get beat up for. No wonders Snape’s a loser and everyone hates him and hes ugly!!!!!
Slughorn is not a creepy name, it’s just a little weird.
Quirinus was a Roman God.
Severus is pronounced sEH-ver-uhs.
Every Star Wars character (except Rey and Luke) has a weird name and THEY don’t get made fun of for it.
Everyone hates Snape because he’s unfair to those who aren’t Slytherins, but he’s REALLY protecting Harry.
6. Hagrid. sounds like “hag”. enough said. Course he IS ugly enough 2 be one……
He’s HALF-GIANT!!! If YOU were a Half-Giant, you’d surely reconsider what you just said.
7. Sirius. I mean, who names their kid after an expression? especially since Sirius was anything BUT serious. That’s like me naming my kid “austere” or “deliberative”. Yuk. He probably got beat up too. AND “serious” is even spelled wrong!!
He did NOT get beat up for his name. Also, Sirius is the name of a STAR up in the SKY at NIGHT and MOST if not ALL of the Blacks are named after STARS.
8. And Hogwarts is weird! I mean hogs are REALLY UGLY! And warts are freaking gross! And a hog with warts is EVEN uglier! That’s f*cking SICK!
That’s like saying Alice from Alice in Wonderland has lice and that Bellatrix is a lady who loves playing tricks on people (which she does NOT do). Enough with the stereotypes.
9. Dumbledore. who wants a name with “dumb” in it? Gross. and it just sound stupid. It’s freaking weird and DUMB! Lol get it? Dum/Dumb.
*Dumbledore is a very old word for Bumblebee. He was named Dumbledore because J. K. Rowling always imagined him humming and “buzzing like a bee” when he was in his office.
10. Draco. I mean eww! I mean he’s hot but it’s a freaking weird name!!!!!!! It’s not normal and it sounds like dragon or something its so stupid!!!!
*He WAS named after a dragon. Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus. Never tickle a sleeping dragon. Sound familiar? It’s the Also, dragons are supposed t be cool. Draco thinks he’s so cool. And purebloods have unique and different names, too. Get used to it.
11. Marvolo. IT sounds like an STD. Barf!!!!!!!!
*Marvolo comes from Malvolio, which means “ill will”. Makes sense for a professional insane murderer lunatic, right?
12. Weasley. it sounds like weasel and it’s just REALLY Weird and creepy!!!!
*The Weasleys were named after Rowling’s favorite animal, the weasel.
13. BASICALLY EVERY NAME IN HP SUCKS!!!!
*BASICALLY TWILIGHT CHARACTER IS RIPPING OFF HARRY POTTER IN SOME WAY!!!!
More weird names:
Yaxley- sound like AX ew
McNair- isn’t nair the hair removal stuff??
Bellatrix- frickin weird
*Bellatrix, a star in the Orion constellation, means “female warrior”.
All the alliteration names like ones where the first and last ones start with the same letter i mean that just unrealistic and STUPID AND WEIRD!
*Oh, so there’s nobody in the world named Amy Adams (famous actress), Colbie Caillat (singer), Kim Kardashian (producer), Steven Spielberg (director) , Janet Jackson (actress), Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie from Thor Ragnarok), Toni Trucks (an actress in TWILIGHT: BREAKING DAWN PART TWO), or Gal Gadot (WONDER WOMAN OMG I’M FREAKING OUT SORRY INTENSE FANGIRL HERE WONDER WOMAN IS MY FAVORITE SUPERHERO EVER YASSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Brilliant observation.
Peace out! Twilight has GOOD names!
*Peace out! Harry Potter names ACTUALLY MAKE SENSE!
Lizzie
*Ginevra
This is so obviously a troll
Hello could you brain permitting us know that host you’re making use of? I’ve rich your blog throughout 3 very different internet browsers in addition to I have to say your blog a lot at a faster rate after that many. Could you recommend a superb web hosting service company with a realistic selling price?
I recently wished to appreciate it a lot all over again. I am undecided the things that I will include experienced without the kind of clues exposed simply by a person regarding which scenario.
Who wants a name that rimes with Hela? A evil being from Thor:Ragnarok
Who wants a glittery fairy boyfriend
Names mean jack! It’s the character development that counts, not what the name rhymes with.
Lizzie Bella- busy seller – jizzy fella
Who wants a name that rymes with that?
You got issues.
U r a dickhead. The names of Harry Potter r awsome so shut the fuck up u bitch their names are really nice i’m naming my children after them and ur name must suck.
1.Hermione is a very beautiful name and it is used in Shakespeare’s play. I think that you are insulting Shakespeare as well
2.Ronald is a very common name…
3. Again a very common name and harry means a leader which he is
4. Luna means moon and she has kept her name as Luna because, yes, people always thought that she was very unique.
5. Perhaps you are just making stories or you don’t actually understand anything
Snape is not a loser I think you haven’t read or even seen The Prince’s Tale or you wouldn’t’t have said so about him. Also dumbledore means bumblebee and dumbledore is known to be always humming
6 your comment about Hogwarts proves you haven’t seen or read the books. What have you got, forks? Is the school balancing on a fork?
7. Sirius is a star in orion constellation for your kind information
8. Well, Draco means dragon, but so what? Dragons are very cool… Also Draco is a constellation. It seems you know nothing about stars and constellations
And what is wtf…your twilight deserves a wtf
You can go crawl in a hole and die. First off all Hermione granger is a better name than anybody in twilight.
Secondly you really think she would name Ron after the McDonald’s mascot? You must be stupid and to make it worse, you randomly brought up your opinion on fast food.
Thirdly you are an immature swine to really take Harry’s name in such an immature manner.
Fourthly Luna lovegood is a better and smarter person than you will ever be.
Fifth of you can’t pronounce those simple names then I don’t think you should be reading Harry potter at all.
Sixthly you didn’t even say hagrid’s first name you just said his last name. Plus you didn’t even gather evidence or logic nor information on what was wrong with hagrid’s name you just said what the first three letters of his last name spell.
Seventhly you dumb mud blood. You really think Sirius isn’t spelled right his name was spelt like this in the movie and the book if JKR wanted his name to be based of an expression somebody in editing would’ve told her.
eightly JKR made up that name she actually thought and used her imagination.
Number nine bloody hell you really are stupid you spelled dumb ‘dum’ and not the right way and your saying Dumbledores name is dumb.
Number ten you bloody idiot his name means Dragon in latin.
Number elven marvolo actually is a pretty marvellous name.
And DON’T YOU EVER INSULT THE WEASLY NAME.
But your talking about Harry potter names sucking pfft. You realise all the names in twilight are not at all creative.
Plus you think Ronald weasley is a creepy name I don’t think Edward Collins is any better.
And every single girls in Harry potter including bellatrix is a better women then bella.
Because Bella couldn’t fight her way out of a paper bag.
Fuck you. Jacobs not a werewolf all he is is an animagus because he can change into a wolf when he wants to an actual werewolf has no choice.
How did you get that picture? And why did you use it. Do you actually know him?
