Jen: I just thought it was a funny idea, given the type of
relationship that Hermione & Ron have. There he is 19 years later and
still acting like a kid, whispering to Harry how he used a spell to get
his driver's license. Thinking each one secretly influenced the naming
of a child after an old crush fits with the way they tend to operate
with each other. Although the more I consider it, Rose after Rosmerta
wouldn't be as likely to get by Hermione as Victor Hugo would get by
Ron. I can envision her narrowing her eyes, crossing her arms and
seeing right through him...
No, now I'm back to thinking they are simply names the two of them
could agree on. Can you see *that* process, the two of them trying to
agree on names? For fanfiction I guess.
