Would you date someone with your name?

Nah, I'd do it

 

One of the perks of having 2 first names is I can always use the other if something like this came up.

 

Yeah.
I have a few nicknames so no big.

 

Sure. Seems like it would be a shame to pass up on what could be a great relationship because of something like that.

I think it's kind of cute in a way, though I can see how it could be irritating. I've never even been friends with someone with my name, and I'd probably get a little annoyed if I kept turning around and realizing I wasn't the one being called. But other than that... I like my name. It would take a little time getting used to saying "I love you, Name" without being weirded out, but it wouldn't be a dealbreaker. Definitely not. Why does it bother you? -- I'm asking out of genuine curiosity.

 

Yasss it's no biggie. We can call each other nicknames, to be honest. We're two angels in love. *makes smoochy faces*

 

All sorts of potential for amusing misunderstandings and comic situations, I would think

 

Really interesting question. I can see how it might be weird, but I think I'd get used to it and it wouldn't really be a big deal.

 

I would.

 

No.

My name is very easy to pronounce, but it is extremely uncommon. There is also essentially no one who spells it in the same way. If I ever become known for something, then my name might rise in popularity, but I will not be some youngster's silver daddy two decades into the future.

 

My name isn't super rare, but I've only met two others with it, & I've had the intense urge to fight both of them to the death. There can only be one.

 

My first name is pretty rare. In my life, I've only met a few people with it, none around my age. The problem is that there are no nicknames that my first name could have... So that wouldn't work... But yeah, I wouldn't just NOT date somebody because of their name. I think it would be pretty cool to meet somebody with my first name, especially if we had a romantic interest for each other

 

I would date someone with the same first name as me cause it's cute.

 

Yeah, I would.

I once had a crush on someone with the same name (but went by a nickname) as me - too bad he was straight and had a girlfriend to boot.

 

I'd do it.

 

It might feel a bit odd to do so, but yeah I still would.

 

Yes.

In my case, I see the chances of being able to date...not that good to start with. Thus I'd be disinclined to disqualify based on name.

And there is a reasonable chance that I could end up in this sort of situation: I have a very common first name.

 

It would be weird, but if that person was totally amazing, or 'the one' if you believe in that, would you say no just because both your parents had the same taste in baby names? A couple with the same first AND last name got married a few years ago. Apparently, they're getting a divorce now, but the same name thing didn't stop them from giving it a try.

 

I honestly don't know. I guess I would, yeah. It might get confusing unless they or I had a nickname, or people called him/her Court instead of Courtney.
