Name a student of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
The four houses do not just sort students, they sort names. Gryffindor names carry fire and victory. Hufflepuff names carry plants, weather and kept promises. Ravenclaw names carry stars and Greek scholarship. Slytherin names carry constellations, Roman politics and things that kill quietly.
That is why picking a house before picking a name matters more than it looks. The house sets the register, and the register does most of the work.
A Hogwarts student of the 1890s carries a Victorian name: three or more syllables, Latinate, formal. Perpetua, Aloysius, Honoria, Ambrosius.
A student of the 1990s carries a shorter name from the ordinary British register, with the wizarding tradition surviving mainly in the surname and in pure-blood families who kept the star names going.
Each house names its students from a different register. A sample of six per house, with the root of each. The full lists sit on the four house pages.
