Was it because the daughter (whose name I can't remember) was taking the piss out of the name Arlo?

Don't worry, no one will remember a Hollyoaks character in a week, let alone in years - the cast turnover is so bloody high! I hadn't watched it in a few weeks until tonight and didn't have a clue who anyone was (although the acting has gotten worse if that is possible). Also, if anyone does say anything, you're more within your rights to judge them for watching Hollyoaks than they are for assuming you've "copied" your son's name from it!

I promise I'm not a regular viewer, just thought I'd have a soap indulgence night tonight... Blush

Reminds me of after I had my daughter and someone asked if I had named her after the character from Coronation Street. Not the best compliment I have had about a name!

They haven't nicked your name, it is a coincidence.
