No because there are so many girls with my name. My parents don't exactly get the originality award for naming their daughter Jennifer in the 70's. I went on an interview on Wednesday and there were already two other Jennifer's in the HR department..typical.

I know a couple of people with the same name as me.

I am gay so I just make stupid jokes about it.

When your name is Michael, it's more or less expected that there will at least be one other Michael in the same room as you at all times.

I know this kid who has the exact same name as me. First and last. He's 17 though. Kinda weird. But if I kill someone I can pin it on him.

I member back in like in 5th grade there was this other kid named Loppfessor so I beat him up every day at recess until he started going by his middle name I think it was Arnold

I've never met those cousins. And they are older so it's my parents who stole the names.

you can slowly take over his life, I mean, only if you wanted to, of course

I only know of one other person with the same name as me, and he is my cousin's 4 year old son. So i've never given it thought.

I've seen pictures of him, so I doubt it would be possible.

Over here there's a famous singer with the same name. When people find out what my name is they often start singing one of her songs.
It's times like those that I feel like being extremely violent.

It feels a bit odd calling someone over by my own name, but it's only happened once before.

I posted about this in another thread a few weeks ago.
I don't care who has my first name.

But there are bunches of people with my entire name.
My last name is common.
There is a woman in my city who has my same
name--first name, middle initial, and last name.
AND she goes to the same doctor that I go to and
runs some of the races that I run.

I find it great. I feel normal and boring again, which is considered of high level in my personal dictionary.:p

i kind of hate my name because it's so common. i don't think it suits me very well. it's the feminine version of my dad's name, which was also his dad's name, and oh right HIS MOM'S NAME TOO. they weren't very creative.

My first name is quite common in my country, but it's also the name of the most famous transexual we got here, so any jokes about my name will be involved with this transexuality going on, which is definitely not what I asked for when I was born. THANKS DAD.:mad:

I'm not sure what's the origin of that name. I thought it was Italian, but I'm not sure anymore. Here we got lots. Well, at least it matches with my last name Romano.:DBut I would like to have a name that used to be more for males, like Marcela, Rafaela, Bruna...they sound so cool. They are totally cool names for girls in my opinion.

My name is sort of common but not that common...so when I meet someone with my name I am like, "Oh cool hey what's up"...PLUS the only people I meet with my name are brunettes like me...strange.

I actually don't run into very many Bretts, thankfully. I like how my name isn't THAT common. :)

But in my Spanish class, we had another guy named Brett. From there on, I was referred to as "Brett L." and he was "Brett S." I even was his partner for the oral exam (have to make up a 10-minute conversation in Spanish). It was disconcerting to call someone else Brett. There's just something odd about it.

I'm sure all the Johns of the world are used to it... ;)

I don't care if their younger then me or not, if people have the same name or middle name as me i generally don't like them just for the fact that i doubt they could bring justice to the name that is Evan.

i have known 2 other people with my same first name in my whole life. however, at my job there is a girl named heidi (my name) who works at the lancome counter. it is very strange to hear my name used to reference someone else because i am not used to it.
