Well, to be fair, they are very similar names. Although not related; Hermine is the feminine form of Hermann, which is old German for "soldier" - heer, army, mann, uh... well, man - while Hermione is a name from Greek mythology (she was the daughter of King Menelaus and Queen Helen of Sparta).

Hermione Granger would not make a terrible RAF witch, come to that, though she would be anachronistic. :)
