However it is a very common name in France (and currently very popular) and I've met people young and old with his name. We were at a wedding last year and an 8 year old had the same name. </p> <p>So far for DD just one, a nurse at the hospital where she was born, but her name is fairly common in a lot of places. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo-that-youve-been-in-a-room-with-at-the-same-time/page/2#post-1321642 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 00:10:17 +0000 lovehoneybee 1321642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katrocap: In school we were addressed each other normally, of course, and even while if addressed while together it was just usually addressed as Sarah (with obvious eye contact as to whom the speaker was referring). If there were more than 2 of us present the speaker would usually use a last initial. </p> <p>One of us tried to change her name pronounciation to Su-Ree in junior year but it fizzled (she was a Sara, though, not a Sarah ;) )</p> <p>With my SIL it was harder, particularly with my stepmom who just started calling us Big Sarah (her, older) and Little Sarah, but it always irked me a bit. It was more confusing on FB before I got married...zone of my HS friends got really confused to see me "talking to myself" and my BIL is now FB friends with SIL, friending her thinking it was a secondary profile of mine (and getting REALLY confused the first time he read something about her then 11-year-old son...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo-that-youve-been-in-a-room-with-at-the-same-time/page/2#post-1321571 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:45:50 +0000 rawrasaur 1321571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None.

I work at an elementary school and there is not one Sarah at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo-that-youve-been-in-a-room-with-at-the-same-time/page/2#post-1321506 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:02:43 +0000 Periwinkle 1321506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None yet!

There were 4 of us--JUST in my group of friends. AND I have a SIL named Sarah (with whom, for a bit over a decade, I shared a first AND last name!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo-that-youve-been-in-a-room-with-at-the-same-time/page/2#post-1321490 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 21:52:56 +0000 kjpugs 1321490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope- but she's only 3 months :) But I don't think I will. The only other Effies I know of are DH's (late) grandmother, another baby I don't know except that they use the same #effiegram hashtag I do on instagram, and Effie Trinket from the hunger games, although she's fictional :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo-that-youve-been-in-a-room-with-at-the-same-time/page/2#post-1321478 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 21:41:15 +0000 Katrocap 1321478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a one. Doubtful he'll encounter another Llewelyn anytime soon.</p> <p>As for me, there were three other Amy's in my graduating high school class. Out of 140 girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo-that-youve-been-in-a-room-with-at-the-same-time/page/2#post-1321471 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 21:36:05 +0000 autumnlove 1321471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>0 so far but a friend's LO has the same nickname with a different spelling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo-that-youve-been-in-a-room-with-at-the-same-time/page/2#post-1321421 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 21:12:18 +0000 FarmWifeGina 1321421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: I know my kids' names aren't super uncommon or anything, not even Rosalie, but I guess we simply haven't hung out with other people that have that same taste in names. I do have one good internet friend with a son named Gabriel, but we've never hung out, so our boys have never been in the same room, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo-that-youve-been-in-a-room-with-at-the-same-time#post-1321361 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 20:42:20 +0000 knittylady 1321361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FarmWifeGina: DS's best friend is a Rosalie!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo-that-youve-been-in-a-room-with-at-the-same-time#post-1321353 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 20:37:01 +0000 Bookish 1321353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: aw, thanks!

Their names are Gabriel (5), Desirae (2), and Rosalie (5 weeks). I guess maybe we just don't hang out with other kids enough or something. Or maybe we just live in a tiny town that doesn't have enough kids for there to be doubles, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo-that-youve-been-in-a-room-with-at-the-same-time#post-1321300 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 20:20:10 +0000 Ra 1321300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: I :heart: :heart: :heart: her name!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo-that-youve-been-in-a-room-with-at-the-same-time#post-1321288 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 20:16:17 +0000 mediagirl 1321288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>0. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-kids-with-the-same-name-as-your-lo-that-youve-been-in-a-room-with-at-the-same-time#post-1321276 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 20:12:19 +0000 Pepper 1321276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought LO's name was a little unique, but a baby joined our gymboree class with the same name!
