<div dir="ltr">Actually, JKR did a pretty good job with names, because many/most of them would not be common. Draco, Sirius, Bellatrix, Narcissa. And those are just first names. Some of her names were great! It's not too unlikely for their to be a Katie Bell in the world, but try finding someone with the name Bilious (Ron's middle name). It did amuse me how some names were perfectly normal and others were way out there in the series. <div><br></div><div>Crescent</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jan 14, 2017 at 9:09 PM, Eric Oppen <a href="mailto:ravenclaweric@gmail.com">ravenclaweric@gmail.com</a> [HPforGrownups] <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:HPforGrownups@yahoogroups.com" target="_blank">HPforGrownups@yahoogroups.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
