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

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!

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!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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:

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.

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