I was hitting it off with a guy, and then we got around to introducing ourselves. He was like "Hi i'm Frank" and I was like errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so less attracted to you now. My dad passed away last year, and frank is unusual enough of a name that I can only think of my dads dead body when i think about this guy.. so im not sure what im gonna do. Probably give him a nickname and see if i can deal. I actually ran into this problem yesterday. I was hitting it off with a guy, and then we got around to introducing ourselves.

It's not like there are exclusive rights to names. I'm sure there was another Barack before we heard of President Obama. Yes, it'll be a little weird of Michelle Obama left her husband and started dating another man named Barack, but just because the names are similar doesn't mean the individuals are too. The biggest problem it sounds like you have keeping all the names straight and who you're talking about. LOL Good luck, and just follow your heart At the end of the day it's all just coincidence.

I'm i a dilema because I just started seeing a guy who I've been friends with for well over a year, who i think is really great, but his name, surname and his birthday are the same as my dad's! This wasn't really a problem for me until I mentioned it to my brother who now thinks I have "daddy issues" which I'm pretty sure I don't! I know I shouldn't care what other people think it's just a really weird situation to be in. I'm still young and it's not like I'm ever going to marry him. I just don't know whether it's too weird...God. Hi, I found this post on a google search as well.

It is kinda awkward, especially when she met my extended family, but I deal with it. She's a good girl and her name is no reason to dump her.

My fiance's mom has the same name as me, but that hasn't presented a problem at all for him. I'm waffling between honoring the tradition of taking the husband's name (which I always figured I'd do) or to preserve my last name as a way to differentiate between the two main ladies in his life. I guess I'm leaning towards keeping my last name to keep my father's name going (our family tree ends with my sister and me...and she took her husbands last name). I'm going to show my fiance this thread and see what his thoughts are about being engaged to someone who shares his mother's name.

I just called her that and didn't even think about how it was spelled. Oh, she was so cute and we had such a lovely relationship, usually having sex twice every day, and then once when she wrote it down for me, I saw it was spelled "Laura" -- and that's my sister's name! As soon as I realized that, it just killed the whole thing! I couldn't even call her by her name without it making me think of my sister, and then making it seem like incest. It was just awful. I had to go a month or so later, and then it ended. We might have fallen in love, but that just put a pall over the whole thing.
