It's important that "Hermione" has four syllables. If you didn't believe it before, now you have proof.
J.K. Rowling is on record, however as saying that she got the name from Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale, in which Queen Hermione of Sicily is a major character. She chose "Hermione" specifically because it was unusual and not currently in vogue, to avoid real young girls being teased for having the same name as a character described in the first Harry Potter novel as being swotty and annoying.
