If you’re looking for baby name inspiration – you can’t really go past the Harry Potter books for some awesome names!
There’s something for every taste. There’s the traditional English, Irish and Scottish baby names, some wonderfully unique magical baby names, a lot of nature-based baby names and, thanks to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, a lot of strong French and German baby names as well!
And, in the interest of full disclosure, I thought I’d better confess that my entire family (except me) feature on this list! I’m not a Harry Potter fan so it was more accident than tribute – even my partner’s name is here (and I didn’t name him!).
Anyway, check them out …
