I have 2 DS's. Ds2 is called Freddie (or fred generally)...you can see what coming can't you .
AM pg with DC3 and found out at scan last week that it is a girl....I love the name florence, but DH pointed out we will have Florence and Fred.....i.e. tesco clothing range.
Would this put you off? I thought most people wouldn't think of it, but DH is against the name now.

I really wouldn't.

Shame though, they are both lovely names in their own right.

I was thinking more of the 'long piece of string' type clothing line, sorry.

yes, it would seriously put me off.

Then you could have a George.... and a cherokee. No it wouldnt put me off. I probably wouldnt have noticed if you hadnt said.
