No, it isn’t bad at all, unless he is a terrible person or just not right for you. Throughout history, it has been common for the siblings of one family to marry siblings from another family. Cousins can also date non-cousins if they were raised in similar environments without knowing it. This is called “false kinship” and it’s very common among adopted children who may see themselves as having the same family as their new parents. I can’t speak to whether you’ve been hypocritical in the past.

My sister’s boyfriend has the same name as my brother – but I’m sure she doesn’t think of our brother while she’s with her boyfriend. It is possible to know more than one person with the same name – I know at least a dozen other people with the same first name as me – and not think of them as being the same person. If you’ve ever had the weird, magical, confusing experience of dating someone with the same name, you will know that there’s lots to love about it, and lots to get used to. They are all local, and they’re very judgmental.
Life
My best friend from childhood is also named Laura, so I definitely could not date another one or it would just be Too Much. I actually remember purposefully not swiping/messaging/texting other Lauras when I was on the dating apps. In undergrad, I was one half of a couple that shared the common name “Rebecca”. Though neither of us spelled it “Rebecca”, mine being “Rebekah”, and her’s being “Rebekka”. Additionally, neither of us had ever gone by the popular nickname “Becky”, both having exclusively settled into “Beka” and “Bekka” .
I feel more reluctant to date someone with the same name as her wife, which would only add to the confusion we cause LoveConnectionReviews people. I know another Addie whose full name is Adriane. Her wife’s full name is Ariadne, but she goes by Aria.
Um, no thanks – I can recognise that I’m drawn to guys who are similar to him, often in surprising ways. Growing up, I idolised my father, but his alcoholism and my parents’ messy divorce made me determined not to end up with anyone remotely like him. And yet every time I’ve fallen for a guy who on paper seems completely different, certain characteristics – whether it’s an addictive personality or a similarly dry sense of humour – eventually come to light. At times, it feels like I’m doomed to date men like my dad, and the patterns of behaviour I’ve learnt from my parents are a vicious cycle that can’t be broken.
I generally enjoy being the only/one of the few Suzannes in a given situation or friend group. But I wouldn’t disqualify dating someone with my same/similar name. I’ve never dated anyone else named Sydney.. I’m always tempted to swipe right when I come across another Sydney just to see if we’d match on that basis. But what made me really delete the app from my phone was their line of, “Politics don’t matter to us! Turns out her name was Jordan and she was in an open relationship with someone named Jordan.
The two longest relationships I’ve had are with men with the same name. It isn’t a bad thing…….at least I’m not in danger of shouting out the others name ha ha. Out of my last 3 boyfriends, two have had the same name and one had one very very similer. So that was solved by changing a few things around in my phone.
Now she uses “my” and I just use his name. The Humane Society Cottage Grove is located in the This and That Thrift Store. They have lots of stuff and the money collected goes to keeping the Humane Society up and running. The care and specificity that went into that screenshot montage for #2 really makes me feel seen. Nice Post, I really like it and share the true emotions as well. And now it’s an inside joke even though he doesn’t know us.
His name mostly used by the baby boomer generation, and I was only interested in Gen X guys around my own age, so it was unlikely that would actually happen. I thought it was weird at first when we started dating, now it’s like whatever. He had the same name as my dad and brother. Yes to all of them, though I think the same name as my brothers would be weirder, since it’s not like I call my dad by his first name.
While it’s totally normal if it skeeves you out, Dr. Edelman also noted that it’s a pretty common conundrum, so you shouldn’t let it concern you too much. “It isn’t unusual for people to be in relationships with a person who shares a similar name to a family member,” she tells Elite Daily. But if the bond you have with your father is your blueprint for all future relationships, what does it mean if you grew up without knowing your dad? Sarah, 27, didn’t meet her father until she was 16. ‘As a teenager, I always defended the fact that I didn’t have a dad and insisted it didn’t matter. But I’m realising now that I’ve always gone for boyfriends who are unavailable in some way – guys who’ve just got out of long-term relationships or are based in other countries.
