Apparently the Dr's told his parents he wouldn't live to be 5 days old when he was born so they just named him Robert.... alas, I met him when he was 17 in my physics class.

And DH is Jason Jay J-lastname. Jay was his grandfather and he's the oldest which is why he got it as a middle name. I like the "all J" part.

Everytime I hear Chris Christie I wonder why? I don't know anyone personally, but DH and I do joke about that a lot lately-- there is a literary first name that is only 2 letters off from our last name, so we joke that we will name LO that if he is a boy. swedishfish on "Same first and last name" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/same-first-and-last-name#post-560899 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 18:26:22 +0000 swedishfish 560899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My great-great grandfather was Thomas Thomas.

Like, Chris Christie, the governor of NJ. I understand it more to be a woman married into it, but in that case, I don't think that I would take my husband's last name. lawbee11 on "Same first and last name" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/same-first-and-last-name#post-560879 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 18:14:37 +0000 lawbee11 560879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not exactly the same but I know a John Johnson.

I went to high school with a guy named Duncan Duncan. A girl I can understand a little more because it's possible (like in this case) that she married into the situation. For a boy, it's just not acceptable to me because he is more than likely stuck with it forever.
