Partner same second name??

Rondolfus

Had this discussion recently. Seems to divide people. Would you feel odd going out with someone if they had the same surname as you?

I've never come across it myself but I'd imagine its pretty weird.

cherryghost

lies.

you're going out with your sister, arent you?

arse..biscuits

My sis and her big squeeze have same last name, freaks

We're not going to justify you banging your cousin!

_Roz_

I'd have more of an issue dating someone with the same first name as me.

They'll turn out like this
Only solution is this

I went out with someone with the same second name as me before - it's a pretty common one though. Shur arent we all cousins at the end of the day! :pac:

admiralofthefleet

why would it be weird? it would just be coincidence

AnonoBoy

Remember when Tom Cruz went out with Penelope Cruise. That was a bit weird.


So anyway.... what's this thread about?

WindSock

I wouldn't. And I'm a Murphy. I know chances are I am probably more closely related to a Singh, but still.

seanybiker

Being a mc donagh there is not a hope of me dating some knacker. Fook that for a game of soldiers.

Young one near me went with a fella who had the same first name and surname as her brother.

CrazyRabbit

But I don't know anyone else with the surname "God".

Bit sick when in the throws of passion she starts screaming his name

You married your brother? :P

Liam Byrne

Well, if we're to believe our bibles, there was Adam and Eve...

....and they had 2 sons.....

Anyone care to guess where the next generation came from ?

raptorman

Their ma?

GavRedKing

Well on the plus side you dont got to get married, just pretend ye already did and save thousands on a wedding.

Genesis 4 and 5 give the story of Adam and Eve's family after they leave the garden: three children are named, Cain Abel and Seth, as well as other sons and daughters.


Sorry to tell ya but that makes them no worse than yourself.

Used to be this girl I liked, was going to try with her one night till I heard her second name.

Glad I didn't, the incestrous tinkers jokes would have never ended (we both have tinker names)

Abi

Its kinda naughty.. I like it.

My brother and his bit on the side have the same last names too the freaks. You're sister isn't the freak going out with my freak of a brother by any chance? :pac:

Is this thread a means of dipping your toe in the water of AH approval before launching a thread called Partner Same Family?

brummytom

I wouldn't.. Meehan's hardly a common name, It'd just be weird going out with someone else with it.

I'd imagine 'Smiths' and 'Jones' over here and 'Murphy' and 'Murray' over there getting together might be quite common, so I wouldn't think that was weird

_Roz_

I'd find it weird to date a Conor, as that's my brother's name.

Conor's ex-girlfriend dated another Conor after him, which is also slightly weird. I mean, John, Sean, fair enough - much more common names (round here anyway) than Conor. But managing to date two guys of a less-common shared name one after the other would make me at least pause.

I've met virtually nobody with my surname (there's more lads who have my surname as a first name than as a surname) so I doubt it'll ever be a problem.

It is handy though in that it insures you never call them by the wrong name. I did that for a while, dated four girls in a row with the same name. Only problem is now that I call every girlfriend by that name and it gets me in all sorts of strife.

Maybe I just need to find another Consuela.

rainbowdrop

I was meeting someone for a while that had the same surname as me, but it's a very common surname. Never made any difference to us, it's not like I was calling them by their surname whilst in the throes of passion;)

I know a lesbian couple who are both called Laura..... Now THAT's weird!!

No its a means of seeing how many people on boards make the same obvious joke again and again, yet still think they are being really witty and original. Unlike some people, I don't look for "approval" off strangers on an internet forum. That would be pretty pathetic. Each to their own I suppose.

Bazzy

Didnt bother me or my dad


Rgds
Lizzy Fritzel

Agent Smith

Would be a bit odd alright...


Same first name, well, if its the female version of the name, its not so bad



I do know a girl who goes by the name off Andy...

mud

And sure, one of their kids will have 'a cure'

No

Pighead

In Vietnam a massive 38.4 % of the population share the same surname. They're all called Nguyễn. OP should probably avoid going there if this same surname lark, freaks him out so much.

im a murray and i think its an awful surname id never go out with anyone with it!i need to marry out of the name asap

AssaultedPeanut

I went out with someone for years who had the same surname as me. Didn't bother me at all

Slow Show

Wouldn't bother me at all. I hate my surname though
My aunt had the same surname as her husband. It always confused me when I was younger.

biko

If you have a common last name like Murphy it must happen all the time.

3hn2givr7mx1sc

It wouldn't bother me personally, but the slagging would be unreal incest, inbred etc.

BDR

Could give your kids double barrel names 'James Doyle Doyle'. Only then would it become strange.

Though marrying someone with the same surname could become confusing when people are doing their family trees later

Mars Bar

I don't think it would bother me, Kelly is a popular surname so the chances of me going with someone of the same surname would be quite high...

Latchy

Might be more common than people think .Smith is the most common name in the western world and must cause mass confusion in the famiily tree at times when Smiths marry Smiths

linky

This was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the thread title.

The number of people (outside the family obviously) I've met with my surname, well I could count them on one hand. It would be a bit strange but probably not a deal breaker.

Not to worry. This relatively minor strain of pathetic would probably pass undetected in your usual voluminous stream of same.

Noodleworm

Wouldn't be that bad for the people in the relationship, you hardly need to mention your other half's last name much.... might just get funny reactions...

If you had the same first names it'd be confusing... Jamie is a boys and girls name for example.

Ewwww!! No way in hell. :eek:
Wouldn't care less if he was my soulmate he would have to change his name by deed poll or however they do it.

My cousin married a dude who has the same first name as her brother....

Must be weird at times....

I know this couple, with the same name.
Despite the obvious handiness.
They still gave their children double barrell names!

:eek::eek::eek:

There should be a law against that kinda thing.

Now that is just plain stupid.

Nope it wouldnt be an issue for me, seems a pretty stupid thing to get hung up on really

Once of course I was sure he wasnt a close relation or anything - couldnt be having any of that now

I went out with 3 girls in a row called McLaughlin, the fella's took an almighty piss out of me after i finished with the third one, they'd go up to every girl in a club and say is your name Mclaughlin, if she said no they'd say "well he's not interested in you then".
