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

massdebater · 30-11-2011 02:44AM #1

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 · 30-11-2011 02:47AM

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

Eathrin · 30-11-2011 02:48AM

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

Super-Rush · 30-11-2011 02:48AM

I should be so lucky.

robbie_998 · 30-11-2011 02:49AM

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

Da Shins Kelly · 30-11-2011 02:49AM

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 · 30-11-2011 02:52AM

no , could end up quite awkward in bed.

B_Fanatic · 30-11-2011 02:54AM

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 · 30-11-2011 02:56AM

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

Dotrel · 30-11-2011 03:06AM

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 · 30-11-2011 03:12AM

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

Saila · 30-11-2011 03:13AM

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 · 30-11-2011 03:13AM

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?

going out with someone with the same name as you is weird

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 · 30-11-2011 08:30AM

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 · 30-11-2011 08:37AM

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

The J Stands for Jay · 30-11-2011 08:41AM

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 · 30-11-2011 08:42AM

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 · 30-11-2011 08:58AM

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 · 30-11-2011 09:02AM

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