Is Elliot a no no if you already have a Fred?

Due to Coronation Street associations. We are really struggling for boys names.

NO I say No I say

I am not a big Corrie fan, but even I've heard of him. I really wouldn't unless you're ready for it!

had no idea that this was a problem - but am not a corrie fan.

how about ellis instead?

Don't watch corrie, so sounds fine to me...

Fred's been dead a wee while now.

Elliot is my favourite boys name as well

Ha ha...halfcut...I've never watched corrie, but even I know about the "I say" business, and was gonna post that very same comment!!!!
So, OP, don't do it.

I would. But then, I gave my children names that when run together sound very like a well known story telling programme. Most people don't notice, and it's not a problem at school as said programme is no longer aired.

Jack and Rory or Jack and Nora?

Sorry but it made me when I read the thread title!

Love Elliot and Fred, but sadly, together they do make me laugh at Fred Elliot -not the best character to inspire a child's name!

How about

Ellis
Emery
Elijah

?

Immediately made the connection. Love the names though!
