Ron and Hermione return from visiting newborn Albus and decide it's time to pick a name for their daughter who will be born any day now…

"Al was so adorable."

"Yeah, the poor thing."

"Why say that, Ron?"

"Don't you think he'll wonder why his brother has a normal name like James and he gets stuck with the name Albus?"

"I think that when he's older and knows who he's named after, he'll think it's an honor."

"Well what about his middle name?"

"Severus is… well it's… er…"

"A terrible name."

"At least it's not his first name."

"True."

"Ron?"

"Uh huh?"

"We haven't picked out a name yet."

"I didn't think you wanted to until she was born."

"Well… I just think that maybe we should. We want to make sure it's perfect."

"I guess you're right."

"So… have you thought of anything?"

"Charlotte?"

"_"

"Come on, Hermione, it was a suggestion."

"No, no, it's very pretty, Ron."

"Really?"

"Yeah… but I would prefer using it as a middle name."

"Fine."

"So… something Charlotte."

"What about Heather?"

"No… Astrid?"

"Ugh, Astrid? What if she's fat and kids call her Astrid the Asteroid?"

"That makes no sense, Ronald."

"No offense to the Astrids of the world, but I will not name our daughter that."

"What about Lily?"

"Like Harry's mom?"

"Well, not necessarily. I've always thought it sounded lovely."

"I do like it, Hermione, but I think we should leave it. What if Harry and Ginny have another kid and it's a girl and they want to name her Lily but we've used it already?"

"You have a good point."

"Always the tone of surprise."

"Shut up."

"I do like the whole flower thing though. Imagine, my little girl, a beautiful flower."

"Oh, Ron, you're getting all soft."

"Yeah, yeah. So what about the flower idea?"

"Sure, I like flowers."

"Okay then… what about Petunia?"

"That was a joke, right?"

"Yes, that one was a joke. How about Violet?"

"It's sounds a too 'little miss perfect' to me."

"But our daughter will be perfect."

"And Violet Charlotte sounds funny."

"Sheesh, Hermione, just say you don't like it."

"I don't like it."

"How about Daisy then?"

"No."

"Daffodil?"

"_"

"I'll assume that means no. Well, what about you? Any ideas?"

"Rose?"

"_"

"You don't like it?"

"No, I love it."

"So, we'll name her Rose Charlotte?"

"Yes, Hermione."

So, I don't actually know what Rose's middle name is. However, I think Charlotte is really pretty. Let me know what you guys think. I'm liking all the positive feedback. Remember, Harry Potter belongs to J.K Rowling.
