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!

I absolutely love George. Think it goes really well with Fred. Have read the harry potter books & didn't notice the connection. I wouldn't worry about that.

The only connection I can make is Tesco and Asda. Grin

I think it's lovely!

I absolutely made the connection. I'd always think of it.

And I wouldn't think you were a fan, I'd think "oh gosh poor woman I bet she has no idea..."

Sorry but I would.

I'd make the connection but I don't think it's a problem since they won't be twins.

I think 'ftw' is 'for the win'.

I have a Fred and a George and have only ever had one person ask if we're Harry Potter fans (we're not). And it wouldn't really bother me if more people did make that connection.
