For any given pair of names, it's probably statistically inevitable that some people with those names have had a sexual relationship. In the case of James and Lily, common English names, the number of couples is probably well into the thousands at least. (And in the wizarding world, the James and Lily population probably saw an increase after The Tragedy). So no point in worrying, I guess.

I would think it was kind of weird if a parent named their kids "Tristan" and "Isolde" (or Adam and Eve, who went to my grade school). But relatives who happened to be married to each other? *shrug* That's nice.

If James and Lily Potter were primarily famous in the Wizarding world for their erotic correspondence, then sure, it would be icky. But naming a couple of kids after your parents seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

I wonder if people who think it's incestuous would also think that somehow someone naming two of their sons after their grandfather, and then their father in any order means Grandad jr. is destined to act like he is Dad jr.'s father, even if Grandad jr. is the younger son.
