Just found out baby number 2 is going to be another boy. Husband really wants George which I don't hate but we already have a Fred & I don't want like having a Fred & George because to me it looks like I'm a Harry Potter fanatic! Do other people immediately see the link or am i bring a bit precious & worrying over nothing.
I should add another reason I'm against George is that hubby is do bloody convinced it's the name we'll have, just makes my stubborn streak come out!

Huge HO fan here and didn't automatically think of it. had they been twins or redheaded ones then yes I probably would have on meeting them though.

It's a nice name and while yes, I do think lots of people will make the HP connection, they'll soon get past that. The HP thing on its own isn't enough of a reason not to use it - but it should be a shared decision.

I probably wouldn't have thought of it straight away. Unless you all have red hair.

I've read all of the books several times and I didn't notice :)

I'd think of Harry potter too, I must say (and my 13 and 9 yr olds definitely would).
DS currently has 'We're not stupid, we know we're called Gred and Forge' as his Facebook status.

I didn't notice the Harry Potter connection at all. And I've seen nearly all the films

I don't think Fred & George makes you look like a Harry Potter fanatic, especially as they won't be twins.

Calling your sons Harry and Ron would be far more like a Harry Potter fanatic.
