I think Hermione is one of those names with more than one correct
pronounciation. Take my name, for example. I pronounce it like Melanie
Griffith and the "Gone With the Wind" character: MEL-uh-nee (where
Mel is a natural nickname). But I seem to remember an All My Children
character with my name, who pronounced it mel-LAY-nee (and used Lanie
for a nickname).

Another example I used a few months ago was Bette. Is it pronounced like
Betty (as in Davis) or Bet (as in Midler)?
