I always thought that the names of many of the characters were 
carefully chosen by JK so as to be a little unusual, to avoid the 
possibility of kids with the same name getting teased. Harry and Ron -
 no problem, they're super-heroes. But look at Hermione, not such a 
common name is it (outside of the Classics). My guess is that this is 
simply because, certainly in the early books, Hermione was a bit of a 
swot and we all know how horrid swots are :) JK was being careful 
again IMHO.
