First Honest Thoughts...

[BeeBear2019]

We have a little boy, called Benjamin.
We have a little girl due in September and my Husband and I are both wanting the name Emma.

It might be just me... but does anyone think of Friends and Ross's children, or am I over thinking? 😂 xx

Beautiful names go for it!. Watched plenty of friends when I was younger and I didn't recall they were Ross's children's names.

Only once you said it did I go ah yes. But it still didn't make me think you'd named them after them. Emma is a lovely name.

Even when you said it, I still wouldn’t make the connection. I had no idea of the names of his children.

I've never seen the programme so I didn't think anything other than you've picked two lovely names.

I’m a huge fan of Friends and still didn’t make the connection at first. Is he always Benjamin or sometimes Ben? Even with Ben I don’t think I’d realise straight away, as the two children never had overlapping storylines in the show if that makes sense.

I was expecting some awful names, when I read it I actually smiled. Love friends but didn't see the connection. Congratulations, lovely names, you are very lucky.

Not until you said so!

Thinking about it... Ross is totally a deadbeat dad and I don’t think you see much (any??) of Ben after Emma is born. So I doubt many people would make the connection, even as a fan of the show, since as far as I remember they are never seen together and rarely even mentioned in the same sentence.

never heard of what you refer to.
benjamin is a fine name.
emma is too.
and they go together well.

I really didn't think of Ross' kids! And I've watched every episode at least ten times lol. Go for it
