This week’s baby name list is such a fun one, especially if you’re a fan of the wizarding world!
This collection is inspired by Harry Potter, with names organized by Hogwarts house. Aside from the obvious characters that we all know and love, I also included names that felt like they belonged in each house (due to sound, meaning, and overall vibe).
Maybe you want a name from your own house or are feeling inspired by a certain aesthetic. Whatever the case, I hope you appreciate the below. I truly loved compiling them.
