James Fred? James Sirius Fred?
Maybe it's Rose Fred.
Or maybe Bill, Charlie and George all have a kid named Fred so they didn't feel inclined to follow.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Oh, and I meant to say that I figure George settled down, got married, they had kids, and his first was named Fred - all before the younger set had kids. I mean, it was his twin bro and all, so I'm good with that.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I think in their grief, Angelina and George found solace in each other and eventually got married and had a boy named Fred.
I could also be reading too much fic.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Albus Severus is a horrible name to give a child, emotional resonance be damned.
Scorpius Malfoy, on the other hand, is....
no, it's just lame, too. I keep picturing Draco in Farscape!Scorpy's cooling suit.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
If the story is a mythical tale - like HP or LOTR I don't have a problem with them being told differently. I think, for example, voldmont appearing on the train platform made it clear that Harry was being haunted by Voldmont. And it allowed the dreams to remain ambiguous and dream like. The reason that I can except this is because I was a huge fairytale/tall tall/folk tale reader( esp from ages 8 -12) - where I kept coming across stories I knew from before - but told differently. If the essence is the same - I can embrace it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Bwah ha ha!
I sort of hated the epilogue, and sort of liked it at the same time. I KNOW I would have wanted it, just like that, were I the age group of the kids.
Did we find out what happened to Luna, though?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Scorpius Malfoy, on the other hand, is....
Maybe they can form a support group.

If, by "support group," you mean "hott gay sexx," then I think there are already many fanfics covering that very scenario.
"Oh Scorpy," sighed Albus Severus dramatically, "no one knows the pain that we know of having such lame-ass names."
"I know," exclaimed Scorpius enthusiastically. "Hold me, Albus Severus, hold me!"
(Meanwhile, Xenophilus Lovegood III was getting a wedgie on the playground for having such a weird-ass name....)

You mean Xenophilus Lovegood Longbottom, don't you?
It's so tough being the child to two teachers on staff.
