No matter how big of a Harry Potter fan [1] you are, you surely have some of the fictional monikers — like Severus Snape and Minerva McGonagall — embedded in your memory. There are, however, mixed in with the more "dense" names, some classics — like Ronald and Lily — that could give a slightly magical meaning to your baby's name.
