    ..same first and second name as yourself?


    I havent, though i've met people with the same first name as myself and other people with the same second name but never both together.

    So have you and what was it like? did you spot similarities or were they a completely different person?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    Nope thankfully.

    Have 3cousins with the same names, it can be confusing at times!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,806 ✭✭✭✭KeithM89_old


    This thread is pointless unless more people give out their full names... :pac:



    ...and addresses


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,331 ✭✭✭RichieC


    not personally, but I added about 13 of them on my Facebook one day for the craic, it's a little confusing in hindsight!

    I'm the only one who comes up in a google search anyway.
    Irish first name and very uncommon surname.

    No need, if people would like to add their mother's maiden name and/or pets name that would be much more craic.

    As far as I know, there is nobody in Ireland who shares my name. It's a German one anyway, and even over there, only 2 or 3 have it, which is quite unique, considering there are 90something million people in Germany.
