Could you go out with someone who has the same first name as your mam?

massdebater

Don't think I could, it would be too weird. Especially if I had to say her name during sexytime *shudders*

Unless my mam was called Scarlett Johansson. Then I could.

Well AH, could you?

TL,DR Yore Ma :pac:

old_aussie

I don't know any girls called "feckin ol'bitch" to go out with

Eathrin

It's a quarter to 2...what are you thinking of?

Super-Rush

I should be so lucky.

robbie_998

i havent come across any other women named "Ma" yet.

Da Shins Kelly

Well, I'm a girl, so I'd be pretty worried if a possible boyfriend was called Catherine.

I don't live in Ireland, it's midday here. I've just been on the phone to someone with the same first name as my mam (not my actual mam!) and got thinking about it.

pudzey101

no , could end up quite awkward in bed.

B_Fanatic

At first I thought What the hell is the problem with that! There's nothing creepy about it at all! Then it sunk... Yeah. It could go wrong on a million different levels.

Kojak

I have yet to meet any women called "auld wan".

Dotrel

The name thing is a bit off putting I suppose but I'd actually be more put off if she had a lot of brothers and they shared a facial resemblance to them or she looked any way like her father.

I have this female cousin who a lot of my friends have commented is drop dead gorgeous but I can't see it at all because I reckon she looks disturbingly like her father (basically she looks like a man in drag to me).

So that whole idea of too close female/male family resemblance in a girlfriend is far more off-putting to me than her having the same name as my ma or whatever.

TeddyTedson

I never use her first name so I don't think it would matter.

Saila

sorry ****** your great and all....perfect in factm beautiful figure, great personality and if I had to pick a perfect girl it would be you , but the thing is you have the same name as mam so...Im out

*bangs door*

Dotrel

You could get round it by just giving your g/f a cute nickname. Something like "mammy" should do the trick.

I've tried that.

She didn't take it well.

You could always have a girlfriend called Catherine

What's wrong with that? You could hardly be saying "Mammy" when you would be 35, now could you? It would actually sound worse than calling her by her first name.

Was that before or after they came out of prison?

Ma/Mam/Mom/Mum (Mum for all you really posh folk ) is perfectly acceptable at any age.
Do you ever see interviews with people talking about when one of their parents died. They don't just say,
"Well you know I was only 6 when Ann died"...
"Who?"
"The woman who pushed me out of her vagina"
"What?"

People who call their Mam by their first name just sounds unnatural.

Cú Giobach

Many years ago a friend of mine went out with a girl who had the same name as his dad, Oh how we laughed.

phasers

My Dad did thankfully, in fact both my Grannies had the same name as my Mam.

The J Stands for Jay

I'd be more bothered about going out with someone who has the female equivalent of my name. Like Gerald and Geraldine, or Robin and Robyn.

ICANN

I wouldn't care about going out with someone with my dad's name because it's a name that's popular so I know loads of people with his name anyway.

I think men's names tend to not be as generational as women's names.

Feisar

And the OP has come up with the perfect reason to call your mother mum, ma, mother, etc. We always knew those people that called their parents by their first names were weirdos.

efb

I think it's weird being with any guy that shares my dad/brother's name.

I'm not a lesbian so no!

Thats genius!

One name for the guy to remember all the time.

cruiser178

Jesus no whats the matter with some of you people!! How could I smack the arsé of mo biaatch and call her Bernie

ash23

I went out with a guy who had the same name as my dad. Never even occured to me that it was strange....... but then, I call my dad "Dad" so I may feel different if I used his actual name.
But I also went out with a guy who had the same name as my brother and it didn't bother me either.....

I'm not really one for the names during sexy time.... "say my name biatch" just 'aint me!

sbsquarepants

I do. My girlfriend and my ma have the same first name, it's not an issue - i don't call my ma by her first name!

TinfoilTinman

My girlfriend has the same first AND middle name as my mother.

GavRedKing

I have, for a few months. Didnt think too much into it though.

Balmed Out

What if you have the same name as her dad. Thats worse. Your used to calling your own parents by mum dad etc but yould always call hers by their first names.
I mean if you and her Dad are both called John and shes all like ohhh john, that feels so good John etc etc itd be a bit off putting.

LeeHoffmann

I went out with a guy for two years whose sister shared my first name. I don't know if he found that weird

bnt

I would have no problem with that - it would be amusing, that's about it. However, I suspect she might have a problem - she might think I have some unresolved Oedipus complex, or something. I don't - my mother died when I was still a kid, before my teenage hormones could have confused me at all.

Shiner11

I know a fella and his surname is one that's fairly common, Power. If people dont find it/him strange enough that his girlfriend's name is also Power, she also shares the same first name as his mother. Now that's probably the worst case scenario. Not only will people think they're someway related but maybe he has issues with his mother.

True Story, no word of a lie.:cool:

jonnyfingers

My name is Jonathan. My girlfriend's Dad is called John. She also has two brothers-in-law called John, a brother named Séan, and his son is called Eóin.

So lots of John's and its equivalent, which is why she always insists on using my full name and not any of the usual nicknames.

However when it's just the two of us she does call me "bastard"!


P.S. My ex-girlfriend's brother had the exact same name as me. That was always a joke when she introduced me to new people. "Oh you're going out with your brother, ha ha!". Got a bit tiring after the first 50 times though.
