I don't have the most common name ever but there is another girl in my company of 15 with my name!
Do you work with anyone that has the same name as you?
-
Nope. My first name is really unusual though; however, in college I met the first person with the same first name as me, and we lived just a few doors down the hall from each other.
-
Nope!
-
No, but I work with mostly men!
-
Yep! But my name is Jessica, so not too shocking. My co-worker goes by Jess, though.
-
Sort of. She works at in a different department, but on a recent conference call even I was confused.
-
yes, there are like 3 or 4 of us, and one other person with an extremely similar name as well.
-
Nope! I think my name isn't very common unless you're in like the UK or Australia.
-
Nope, but a handful of patients share my name.
-
We have a Liz (me), Lynn and Laura in our small office of 10 so clients often mix up who is who. There is also a Liz at another branch in my city with a similar last name to my maiden name I was Liz Gal.......... she is Liz Gil........ so we would get eachothers e-mails all the time. We were both pretty happy when I changed to my married name
-
@lawbee11: Hey! I'm Jessica too!!
Yes, the receptionist at my work and I have the same name! It's horrible because when someone calls the main number and asks to be transferred to my department, I answer and they always start complaining saying "I ASKED to be transferred to accounting!" Yea well you've got it! Then I have to explain that myself and the receptionist have the same name, and actaully sound pretty similar on the phone....boo!
-
Yep! This is actually the third job in a row... At one job, I replaced a Lindsay. She stayed with the company but moved offices. Last job, I replaced another Lindsay. This job there's me and another Lindsay and we work on the same client. It's not uncommon for us to get emails meant for the other, LOL. I guess we're all early 80s babies!
-
No. I've never met another person with my name.
-
@MrsBrewer:
-
Yes, and it is super uncommon too, so I'm amazed. She goes by a cutesy shortened version. People try to shorten my name too, which is not only confusing, but I hate it. They always get us mixed up, and we are now on the same campus again, so it is only going to get worse!
-
First name never happens. Last name--I work w/2 family members, so yes!
-
@MaisyMay: no I've been the only one at all of my jobs, but I have a common name and always had multiples in classes. I guess my name just isnt common in work environment since most people are a lot older than me
-
Nope. I would be pretty surprised to run into someone with my same first name. I've met maybe 2 or 3 other people with my same first name in my life.
-
Right now NO. Not even close. I am the only women in my dept.
I did once work somewhere where there were two others with the same name as me. I was the last one to be hired and the "newest" one so I went by a knickname. There were 3 "Katie's" (which is a fairly common name) So we went with 'Katie" then the next girl went by "Kate" and I went by "Kat".
-
Yes! Although we don't work together anymore, we used to share a cube, which was fun and confusing! We're actually really good friends and whenever we send cards to each other, we address them like:
Adira,
Happy Birthday!
Love, the other Adira
-
No way! I've never met another person with my name or met someone that knew another, even working at the hospital & drawing (phlebotomist) over 20k patients! I'm seriously starting to think I may be the only one, atleast with my spelling.
-
Nope! But I do have one girl whose name is pretty close!
-
Nope. My name is pretty uncommon and I've only met about a handful of people over my lifetime with the same name.
-
My name is Jenn. Enough said. haha Seriously, there are 4 other Jen's, Jenn's, Jenny's at my office of 100.
-
Sort of, there are two male 'jesse' and one female jessica, but techincally I'm the only female with my spelling.
-
I share a first and last name with two other ladies at work (all unrelated to me) We even have the same middle initials! It gets annoying, because we get each others e-mails.
-
Just one, and I get her emails a lot (outlook auto-fill) and she gets mine. Sometimes I think they're for me even though we work in different departments. Once I talked to someone on the phone for 5 minutes before I realized they were looking for the other one, haha.
-
surprisingly no! but i work with mostly older people and men.
