    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...

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

    Would you feel odd going out with someone if they had the same surname as you?
    No

    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.

    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


    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

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,248 ✭✭✭Slow Show


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,060 ✭✭✭✭biko


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,838 ✭✭✭✭3hn2givr7mx1sc


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 136 ✭✭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 :confused:

    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...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,190 ✭✭✭✭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

    Sure there was couple with the same first and last name that met over the net and are getting married...

    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.

    That would be pretty pathetic.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 717 ✭✭✭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.

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

    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 :D

    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".

    Wow, you only had to edit that once to get it just right. Your "wit" is really coming along. Maybe someday you'll be able to write something (first time) thats actually funny. Stranger things have happened.

    Do you actually perform any useful function on boards except going around trying to wind people up?

    Seems like the only one getting wound up is you. Thats nothing to do with me, I reckon its more to do with people not finding you as funny as you obviously think you are. Quite a common problem on this site. You're certainly not alone.

    I have no idea why you think I'm a troll. Feel free to explore my posts. Something tells me you've the time to do it.

    I'd rather not.

    As I irk you so much, just refrain from commenting on my posts and I'll return to ignoring yours.

    Everyone is happy then aren't they?

    it worked out fine for me and my older brother

    Wow both of you ended up going out with girls with the same surname as you...crazy coincidence!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26,566 ✭✭✭✭Fratton Fred


    me and my wife both have the same surname, never bothered me in the slightest.

    I also know someone who married his daughter, in Church as well.

    Anyway, anyone seen my coat?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,461 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    Hey, why cross the dancefloor when you just cross the landing?





    ...right?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    But I don't know anyone else with the surname "God".
    Doh!
    Your reading your name wrong again.
    I told you before, to stop looking at your name in a mirror! :P

    Ok I know this doesn’t exactly relate to this thread but I’m thinking of contacting a physic to find out the meaning of this freakish thing that happened to me or maybe someone can give me some info here 🙈

    Ok my name is Christina and my baby girl is called Darcy. I started this baby massage class last week and the woman who runs the class is also Christina and has a baby girl called Darcy. Yes a little weird but this week we figured both our darcys have the same date of birth and also.... we have the same birthday aswell 🙈🙈 this cannot be a coincidence ?????
