In Kazakhstan, the popularity of the Harry Potter novels is reflected in the names that parents give their children. According to the Office for National Statistics, there are 104 people named Harry, 3 people named Ron and 18 people named Ronald in the Republic. However, not a single girl with the name Hermione has been recorded in Kazakhstan. Tengrinews.kz writes about this.
There are also two Kazakhstanis living in the republic with the name Sirius, eight James, 114 Lily, 3 Cornelius, 1 Fred, 3 George and 3 Molly.
Among the exotic names, the names Peter, Dolores, Luna, Narcissus and Bill were also recorded.
However, among the Kazakhs there were no people willing to name their child in honor of Voldemort, the main villain in the Harry Potter series of novels.
