we are currently expecting dd2 and have always loved the name Lauren (dd1 was nearly called this), we thought we would call dd2 Lauren but have just found out there is a Lauren in Eastenders whose sister is called Abbie (dd1's name!)
Neither of us ever watch Eastenders and still really like the name, but I really dont want everyone thinking we have named our dd's after Eastenders characters!!

Would you still use Lauren? can you suggest anything else? We do like Freya but not as much

The characters change quite quickly on these programs. They may not even be around in 6 months time.

Personally, I probably would not, but then I watch EastEnders

Also, I have a Freya so I guess your second choice name would be good for me in the same situation
And, funnily enough, I have a cat called Abbey!
We must like the same names!
