Thoughts on the names Freddie/Fred and Lily for b/g twins?

[Oscarssmum]

I’m due b/g twins in 2 weeks and we’re thinking of calling them Freddie/Fred & Lily. What are peoples thoughts? I appreciate they’re popular names…but Fred I’ve just always loved and Lily is after my Nan.

Middle name James for boy and struggling with Lily (on the list are Emilia, Amilia, Elenor, Eloise,Olivia…open to options!)

Thanks!

The archers came to my mind.
I don't listen ( mid 40's) but much younger siblings do!

I know siblings Lily & Freddie, I think they go lovely together.

I have heard of the Archers but I couldn't name one character in it.

Please don't pick Elle, I know over 20 different Elle/Ella/Ellie's. Lily is gorgeous.

Like lots of others, my first thought was The Archers. im a die-hard fan. But I suspect The Archers listeners are predominantly of non childbearing age, so you're probably safe.

You will get lots of comments about whether you're an Archers fan, but if that doesn't bother you, then go for it. They are lovely names.

Yes I thought “nice names but they’re in The Archers “. They’re not very nice characters either.

I thought Fred (twin George) and Lily (Harry’s Mum) from Harry Potter tbh

No idea about any Archers connection! I’m 41 and Welsh if that helps

PP’s I do know a Shula though, short for Ursula. She’s always used the shortened version

Frederick Hugo and Lily Rosalind

or Kenton and Shula
or Pinky and Perky

Really cute combo!! Go for it
