Mum accidentally names twins after TV show and now wants to change their names

Are these names really that bad? We don't think so

The embarrassed mum took to the parenting forum NetMums where she told fellow users of the site that she accidentally named her children after a TV show and is worried that she will never hear the end of it.

"I needed some advice, I have six-month-old twins which I named Charlie (boy) and Lola. Don't get me wrong I love both the names but I feel like a made the wrong decision and I always get awkward reactions when people ask.

"I am due to go and register them soon and am feeling under pressure to make a decision by then. I am worried about them being laughed at because of the programme 'Charlie and Lola'."

She goes on to say that her partner thinks she is over-reacting and a lot of the parents in the comments felt the same.

"I'll be honest and say it shouldn't really matter why you named your children what you did, whether it's linked to a TV programme, book or song title or it just jumped out at you as a name you loved, that's totally your business."

We're with her partner and the other NetMums users on this one. We don't really see why anyone would tease her or her children for having the same names as a couple of TV show characters.
