Having a child is a magical thing - it transforms us from ordinary individuals into Parents, people that other people, albeit smaller, and generally wetter, are now dependant on.
Sometimes, however, even Magic can't help pare down your top 10 baby names list when your little bundle of joy is on the way.
Carmen Black gives us an entertaining peak into the lives of Harry Potter's best friends, Ron and Hermione, 19 years after the end of the Potter series as they are trying to name their second child.
We see that great wizards, even those at the top of their class, sometimes need to look around for inspiration:
"Victor Hugo is a French author. He wrote books like Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I like the name Victor."
"Well...well I don't." Both were quiet until Ron added, "Trust you to use famous authors' names as inspiration instead of a baby name book."
For those Muggles looking for some magical inspiration, you can try The Baby Name Wizard: A Magical Method for Finding the Perfect Name for Your Baby
