I wonder if Wendell and Monica are Hermione's parents' real first 
names and she just added a fake last name? 

As for Rose and Hugo, I suspect they were chosen mainly because 
Hermione and Ron liked them. Each child shares an initial with one 
parent. They're both names that are fashionable right now in Great 
Britain, too, and the "o" ending sounds like a lot of the other names 
that are popular in the wizarding world, without being too outrageous. 
Hermione may also like the idea of giving her daughter a simple, down 
to earth flower name rather than one that no one can pronounce and 
that even her creator thinks is pretentious.
