No. I never knew anybody with his name, which is weird b/c it's not that uncommon.

=( yup, shares a name with an ex. how many bonus points? i also have a cousin-in-law with the same name and another cousin who named her son the same name. but, in reality, i guess that's technically his middle name.... so nope, doesn't share one with anyone i know.

I've got Library Kenny, Real Kenny (husband), and First Kenny (childhood acquaintance). There's also an Uncle Ken, but he doesn't count.

Yup, he has a pretty common first name. And my last serious ex before him had the same name.

@lilteacherbee: We are thinking of naming our baby boy Tyler : )

Yep, my paternal grandfather, my maternal great-grandfather, an uncle (father's side, he was a Jr.) and a cousin (also father's side, named after my gdad.

But I've never met my cousin and he's the only one that goes by that name. My uncle goes by Jr. and I never think of my grandparents by their first names.

He has a pretty common name (Alex) but I don't have any friends or family with the same name. One of my co-workers got married recently and her husband, dad, brother and boss all have the same name. It's a really common name though with plenty of nickname variations.

Yep. He has a friend with the same name. They usually get called by their last names by that group of friends, where they both belong 2.

Here's how his family names shake out:

My Husband is: Kenneth Bradley E. (goes by Bradley)
My Husband's Uncle (Deceased): Bradley Wayne E.
My Father-in-Law: Kenneth Scott E. (Goes by Scotty)
My Brother-in-Law: Garrett Scott E. (Goes by Garrett)
My Husband's Grandfather: Kenneth E.

So, all of the males share a first or middle name with someone else in the family. Some go by their first name, and some go by their second name (like my husband). I'm not sure why!

Yes, like a million!
My husband's name is Jacob and I know a good 5 or 6 other Jacobs.

DH's uncle has the same name. My dad likes to tell people his name is DH's name too (he did this before I met DH)

Nope, his name is Brandt and I don't know anyone else with that name and I swear NO ONE can ever spell it right.

YES! both my sister and my best friend married guys with the same first name as DH, but it is one of the most common names for boys.

My best friend's SO has the same name as my DH. Has definitely led to some very confusing conversations!

Not in real life. My husband's name is Ross, though and just yesterday a good friend said to me "Is it weird that when we're talking about your husband, sometimes I'm thinking about Ross from Friends?"

My cousin is dating a guy by the same name as my DH.

My family is really odd with names though, we all seem to have the same name, or are married to the same names. Example: My mom and her sister both married Charlies. My sister is dating a Mark, and my uncle is a Mark, and he married a lady with a son named Mark. My aunt and her husband both had daughters named Shawna. The list goes on! We always know if the relationship will work out by whether or not the name is already in our family!

Nope.
