    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 ?????

    Wow this is a massive coincidence that I'm reading this and also happen to be a psychic.
    I can meet you any evening this week(I'm thinking your going to pick Wednesday) and we can discuss this further.
    My fee for this important meeting will be free but I can feel that you want to donate something around the 200 euro Mark which will be fine by me.

    What an odd preference to have or worry about in a partner.

    Are you telling me if your surname was Kelly or Murphy you would avoid ?

    Really ?

    Holy psychic zombie thread!

    Weird. Not only a zombie thread but resurrected for an off topic post. Spooky.

    It wouldn't bother me, it's extremely unlikely to occur though.
    There are very few of us Hitlers left since great-uncle Adolf got up to all that unpleasantness some years ago.

    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.

    Why would it present a problem? Unless you are actually going out with a family member?

    Hitlers either changed their surname, or decided not to have kids, to kill the surname.

    If there's any chance it can only be a matter of time (could be a few billion years off in a parallel universe for all I know mind)

    '...or could have simply killed the kids - they are Hitlers after all

    Saw a death notice a few years ago of a Murphy (née Murphy). That looked a bit weird.

    The thread is 9 years old, they have weird little 6-toed kids now

    I've thought about your point and have spotted the profitable slant as per, if I say so meself. We all know that certain footballers earn a Kings ransom, likewise in Spain certain Matadors earn salaries with the same amount of figures as phone numbers. The Chinese however (great bunch of lads) are mad into extreme tightrope walking. A sixth toe would certainly give an edge in such a scenario. Snooker has also become massive in China, and a sixth toe would be a godsend if the cueball was positioned near the blue spot, and the player was attempting a four cushion snooker behind the black. This, combined with China's lax child labour laws could make a millionaire of the hick that started the thread.

    I went out with someone with the same first name as my brother and the same second name! Was too weird so didn't last long!

    Hitlers brother ( worked at the Shelbourne hotel in Dublin ) married an Irish woman - Bridget Dowling

    They had a son on 12 March 1911 - William Patrick Hitler - he went off to join the US navy and fought in WW ll

    The son died of a Tuesday, 14th of July 1987

    Yup, calling a girl Darcy is weird alright.

    My partner has the same second name, but then I found out it's because we are already married.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,177 ✭✭✭✭Gael23


    It’s very unusual but it happens. It’s not something that would put me off dating someone I fancied.

    Thanks for your opinion Mrs obumble although that wasn’t even the question asked but since you seem to have an interest in her name she was named after my Mum who recently died in a traggic accident!

    Thanks again

    It's when they go double barrelled that I get confused...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,825 ✭✭✭LirW


    Good friends got married last year and their last name differ by the first letter, along the lines of Boyle and Doyle. I have no idea how they solved it in the end but all the speeches were full of last name jokes.

    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.

    That's insane. Why is it so popular.

    I just googled it and apparently on numerous occasions after collapses of the ruling dynasty the families changed their names to Nguyễn in order to hide from retribution. Probably because it was the most popular name at the time and just became more popular because of this.

    It's say it's very common in the traveller community where many marriages are among first and second cousins.
