Very cool! Do you realize that perhaps a whole new generation is 
going to name their kids after these characters? Soon perhaps 
Hermione is going to be a popular name.

I was honestly going to name my son (when/if I ever get one) Harrison 
Draco. However I'm unfortunately 19 and will have to wait probably 
another 10 years before I even have children =(

If your son gets embarrassed about his name, Heidi, you can always 
tell him that you named him after Harrison Ford... because we all 
know he's dead sexy and that's not embarrassing. I mean, Han Solo is 
a stud!
