Gay people: Would you ever date someone with the same name as you?

You could always make nicknames for each other. It's like when there's two kids with the same name in a class. You'll make it work.

 

I doubt I'll ever come across a guy with my name. But in the rare case I do and date him, he's going to be Ronny-kins if I'm not too weirded out at that point.

There's a reason I picked my name- so I'd be the only one in a twenty mile radius.

 

my crush has almost the exact same name as me...

 

Why the hell not?


I mean, eventually I'd want to kill the next person that makes a joke about it... but other than that. :icon_bigg

 

Oddly enough, I do, and have, for many years. It's a bit confusing at times, but no big deal. It has the effect of causing people to remember us, due to it being unusual.

We plan to get married soon, but keep our last names.

Having the same first and last names would be just a bit too strange! Though it is tempting, in ways.

 

Congratulations!

My aunt Kris married a guy named Chris. I believe she hyphenated her last name, so they don't have the same last name, at least. Anyway, I'd also date someone who had the same name as me. I have a long name, and the nickname I use is uber short, so if it gets to be confusing I wouldn't object to going by another nickname among our social group. Whenever I hear a variation of my name I look up and wonder who's calling me, anyway, even if it's not my most common nickname.

 

Well, are we talking same nickname or same given name? If it were a given name, that would be even worse, because I hate my given name and wouldn't want to be saying it all the time.

 

I don't even take particular pleasure in befriending people that have the same name as I do irl
So I personally wouldnt be able to.
+ imagine if you were to get married. Imagine all the administrative problems. Christ, have the gouverent even thought about this? xD

 

My aunt and uncle are called Chris (Christina, but nobody calls her that) and Christy (Christopher, but again nobody calls him that)

I would date someone with my name but I'd definitely have to give them a nickname because personally, I hate my name :lol:

And hey, some people definitely make it work, look at Rose and Rosie from YouTube :icon_bigg

 

I would. I chose it after all

 

No.
I already know a ton of people known as Chris, male and female (I don't know any nonbinary people). In fact, I specifically picked the name Christopher so I wouldn't be very conspicuous.
I'm bad at memorizing names and faces. A relationship with another Chris would immediately go to shit.

 

I would, although my name's so uncommon and any nickname would sound stupid

 

Thanks! We use nicknames at home sometimes, based on the first letters of our last names.

Because of the first letters of our first names, we get called K-squared, sometimes, which is kinda funny, but I like it. I would have never guessed things would have worked out this way...always hard to predict what happens in life.

 

Sure. It doesn't really affect me or the relationship.

 

Yes! Terms of endearment and nicknames would especially come in handy in that situation.

 

I've never met anyone with the same name as me, but if I were to meet one, and I liked her, why not?

 

It wouldn't bother me at all but I would make up nick names for the both of us for when we go to social gatherings that way we wouldn't have to deal with any confusion.

 

Yup, yup! I actually just celebrated my uncle's wedding last month where he married his partner of 25 years. They're both named John... They seemed to have to made it work. Us cousins call them Uncle John and new Uncle John (they like it). Besides, I have a very common first name. I'd be eliminating A LOT of people if I narrowed my dating pool like that.

 

I would LOVE that! Another gay Daniel! It would be so much fun! I love it when people confuse me when saying my name when meaning it to another person, I just do.

...I'm wierd.
