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.

Agree with MrsJohnCusack - great name - sod Tesco. I would never have thought of that and love the names. Two of mine have the same combo as a shop and never thought of it ourselves although have had a few comments from twits.

Mabel it's Fred and Florence you'll have anyway so OK surely?

Florence would have been DS2 if a girl (I daren't tell you his actual name ). Other names we liked were Agnes and, well, I love Mabel actually.

Freddie and Mabel, lovely.
