It seems to be really uncommon. When people ask his name they seem really surprised when I say it lol. I think it's because me and DH are super county. And the only person who has DS name that I've seen is an older British actor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adults-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo#post-2618908 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 15:32:13 +0000 PurplePeony 2618908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, until the past few years her name has been very rare. I think the last time it was popular was in the 1880s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adults-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo#post-2618860 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 13:53:05 +0000 mediagirl 2618860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our new next door neighbor!

She said she had never delivered a baby with her name! Other than that, it's usually people telling us it's their mother or aunt's name. Its peak popularity was in the 50's.</p> <p>As for my son, I have yet to meet an adult Lyle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adults-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo#post-2618550 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 07:26:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2618550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't met anyone with my son's name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adults-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo#post-2618544 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 07:18:02 +0000 Mamaof2 2618544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes I know several with both DS and DD's name.</p> <p>One of the reasons I loved/picked DS's name is that the 3 people I knew with that name - 1 in High school and 2 after college were just amazing and kind people </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adults-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo#post-2618526 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 05:35:58 +0000 looch 2618526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our next door neighbor, in his 50s, and my son share a name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adults-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo#post-2618524 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 05:14:16 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2618524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I've met two adults with his name since he was born- one was a salesperson for a company my company used to work with and the other gave me a flu shot one year.

It's actually where I got it from, I'd hear stories about her when I was a kid and the name always struck me. Never met anyone else with the name though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adults-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo#post-2618435 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 21:28:07 +0000 caterw 2618435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes- DD1 shares her name with 3 grownup friends and her little BFF has almost the same name (one letter difference and the same middle name!). DD2 has almost the exact same name as a mom friend of mine also.

I know one adult with the formal version. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adults-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo#post-2618378 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 20:31:19 +0000 skipra 2618378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Several!

Every time I heard a story about her, I'd be confused for a little while. She moved away though, so now my son is the only one with his name once again!</p> <p>My daughter's name is more rare and I've never met an adult that has the name!</p> <p>Do you know any/many adults that have the same name as your LO? </p>
