Would you get involved with someone with the same name as you?

Something that's probably a tad bit more common with gays and lesbians than straight folk. A John dating a John. A Sally falling in love with another Sally. Too much confusion? What do you think?

    I lived with a woman who had the same name as me for 8 years. It was hilarious when sales creatures called.

    "May I speak with *****?"

    "Sure, which one?"

    "Ummm, *****"

    "Yeah I heard you the first time, which one?"

    " (silence)"

    hangup.

    How hard is it to specify a last name? Idiots. LOL

    Too much confusion? Trust me, the last thing causing confusions in a relationship is the name. I could just start using my first name again (my first name is John, my middle name's Mark, I've been using Mark for the last couple of years) or be J Mark or something. I've never dated a Mark (or a John) though.

    Oh, and FTW: ROFL!

    I have known couples with this confusing problem. Quite often one will change to a variation - like "Bob and Robert" or "Bob and Rob" or "John and Jack" or "John and Johnny."

    I have even seen couples refer to one of them by the last name to make things easier.

    Good communication is essential - you want to know with whom you are speaking! :o)

    Of course, this would not PRECLUDE me from going out with someone of the same name. Everything can and will be worked out.

    LMAO this is really funny. I was in a relationship with a guy with the same name as me. i might not do it again. it's bad when friends talk to to and you don't understand who they're really talking about. It was fun but it shouldn't matter who you date. as long as you like them it's all the same regardless of what your name is.

    No, names aren't that important. I used to like this Asian guy and his name was pronounced "tree." My sister is dating someone with the same last name and they're not related.

    so what if you have the same name? doesn't matter just make up some nic names for each other. I know two Felicia's are dating and they call one Fiesha and one Fishy.

  • I dont hace that problem cuz Im already in a relationship. But had my man's name been mine I guess Id overlook it.

    hehehe, I never thought of that. I seem to be attracted to guys named Nathan. It has nothing to do with the name, its just seems to work out that way :P

    Name is just soemthing to define someone or to know that is her or him, it doesn't or shouldn't be affecting anything if you in lvoe with him/her name is nto an important part. they will still be 2 differnt person.
