Nickname for Hermione

Is there a good nickname for [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]? Is [name_f]Mimi[/name_f] a reach? Has anyone ever heard [name_f]Hettie[/name_f]?

My niece is interested in this name – and although I like it – all five syllables is a bit much for everyday use.

Thanks for your thoughts!

[name_f]Minnie[/name_f] would be cute!

I don’t think [name_f]Mimi[/name_f] is a reach at all and would be super cute! Or perhaps [name_f]Mia[/name_f]/[name_f]Mya[/name_f]?

No, I think [name_f]Mimi[/name_f] would definitely work!

I have not heard of [name_f]Hettie[/name_f]. That is very cute but I think a bit more distant from [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] than [name_f]Mimi[/name_f] is, at least to my ears. But if her middle name started with a “T,” I think [name_f]Hettie[/name_f] could definitely make even more sense.

I second the [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] idea. Here are some others:

  • [name_f]Hera[/name_f]
  • Herie (like [name_m]Harry[/name_m])
  • [name_f]Iona[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Ionie[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Erma[/name_f]
  • Ermie
  • [name_f]Mia[/name_f]
  • [name_m]Hi[/name_m]
  • Hemmie

Of course, certain middle names could create the possibility for even more nicknames. As I mentioned above, [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] with a middle name that begins with “T” could definitely make [name_f]Hettie[/name_f]. [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Ada[/name_f], for example, could make Haddie or [name_f]Hattie[/name_f].

I hope this helps!

I like the nn [name_f]Mina[/name_f] for [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] :). I also think Hero would be cute.

[name_f]Mimi[/name_f] isn’t too much of a stretch, but I can’t say I’m a fan personally. [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] was called Mione (my-oh-nee or my-nee) from time to time in the [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] books!
