Both names are super Asian but not very popular among Chinese or Vietnamese people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-48165 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 14:24:23 +0000 Rosie Girl 48165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cousin is dating a guy by the same name as my DH. </p> <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-48108 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 13:31:56 +0000 ALittleP 48108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have a guy friend who shares the same first name. I knew my friend before my DH. It's not a problem though - we were never involved romantically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47944 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 10:43:01 +0000 MegWag 47944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47889 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 09:30:57 +0000 Rock n Roll 47889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any, but I have a friend who has the same name as her husband's sister, and she changed her name when they got married, so now they have the exact same name. I think it would be kind of creepy to date someone with the same name as my brother, but I guess you can't help who you fall in love with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47794 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 22:45:48 +0000 heartonastring 47794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My best friend's SO has the same name as my DH. Has definitely led to some very confusing conversations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47690 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 20:28:57 +0000 L2sweetpea 47690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has friends with the same name but no one in our family.<br /> However I got serious bonus points because my first name is the same as DH last name...hence why I hyphenated my name when we got married. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47679 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 20:16:57 +0000 eudyptula 47679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47671 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 20:10:27 +0000 tequiero21 47671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: i know someone who named his son bryson and i really liked it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47650 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:52:47 +0000 cyndistar3 47650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47644 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:48:03 +0000 Laneybugsmommy 47644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter's name is Libby-Jane.

My dad likes to tell people his name is DH's name too (he did this before I met DH) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47585 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:32:56 +0000 Maysprout 47585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I'd never met anyone with his name before. It's not an uncommon name in french speaking countries but not super common there and really uncommon here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47578 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:14:21 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 47578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, like a million!<br /> My husband's name is Jacob and I know a good 5 or 6 other Jacobs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47574 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:03:44 +0000 MsMamaBear 47574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know MrsBee's real name is bee! So cute!</p> <p>I have a student with his name. I call the syudent William, not Will so I can distingush them.LOL It just creeps me out to call a student his name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47551 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:30:33 +0000 DillonLion 47551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's how his family names shake out:</p> <p>My Husband is: Kenneth Bradley E. (goes by Bradley)<br /> My Husband's Uncle (Deceased): Bradley Wayne E.<br /> My Father-in-Law: Kenneth Scott E. (Goes by Scotty)<br /> My Brother-in-Law: Garrett Scott E. (Goes by Garrett)<br /> My Husband's Grandfather: Kenneth E. </p> <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47538 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:13:32 +0000 Shutterbug 47538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - too many, if you ask me. His name is Michael (Mike), and that's also my dad's name, his dad's name, and my brother's middle name. Everyone ends up saying "which Mike" all the time - and SO wants to name our future son Michael! I hope he's joking... maybe for a middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47505 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:45:28 +0000 DpeachLu 47505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47502 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:42:14 +0000 Boogs 47502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 2 friends with his same first name, but we don't really ever see them so it's no biggie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47498 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:39:33 +0000 twodoghouse 47498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47453 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:15:52 +0000 Andrea 47453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I've never met anyone else with the same name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47432 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:56:22 +0000 SugarplumsMom 47432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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.</p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47421 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:45:54 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 47421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a cousin with the same name. My childhood best friend married someone with the same name as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47419 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:43:55 +0000 winniebee 47419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: We are thinking of naming our baby boy Tyler : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47418 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:43:40 +0000 winniebee 47418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - his name is uncommon (Bryce). I love his name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47412 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:30:45 +0000 mamabolt 47412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, he has a pretty common first name. And my last serious ex before him had the same name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47397 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:13:43 +0000 pelikila 47397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. The nickname my husband uses is the same one his best friend uses. Both of their father's use a the same nickname too (different from their son's). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-in-your-life-share-your-sos-first-name#post-47396 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:11:15 +0000 cyneswith 47396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've got Library Kenny, Real Kenny (husband), and First Kenny (childhood acquaintance). There's also an Uncle Ken, but he doesn't count. </p>
