I think that the relationship between Fred and George is perhaps one of the best portrayals of a twin relationship that I've seen in fiction--either you end up talking each other out of bad ideas, or you end up talking each other into all kinds of bad ideas. So looking at it from George's point of view, I'm glad Ron and Hermione didn't call their kid Fred; it would be a little bit heartbreaking to have a nephew with the same name as my dead twin.
