Could you date someone with the same name as one of your parents?

[Metal Spidey]

I was thinking, could anyone date someone with the same name as one of their parents and has someone here done that before? I think it would be too weird and uncomfortable to say "I love you (insert name)". Am I overreacting?

 

[Dkim]

Yes you are.

 

[Crook]

I've thought about that too, actually. My answer is no. Ditto for cousins and siblings (at least those that you are close too).

Unless they have another name to go by, I really can't picture myself saying a name that is so far away from what I'd consider a "lover'.

 

[Speedball]

You know what's even more awkward? Dating someone with the same name as you...
My name is Matt...do you know how many gay men have that name?
It's also a weird fantasy of mine...

 

[Eggyman]

Hahahaha! I love the freaky **** that gets made into threads


I've never thought about it, and it's never happened.

 

[Mister Sinister]

I call my mother 'Mum', it would be weird if I said "I love you Mum" to a girlfriend.

 

[JaD]

I've never called my mom by her first name before, not yet at least. So it wouldn't be too weird, I guess?

 

[Rando Aces]

i have thought about it.

no.

 

[Eggyman]

True, I never call my mam by her first name. And I generally don't call girlfriends by theirs, either. Pet names and such.

 

[Captain_BluTac]

I think anyone who could date someone with their parents (or siblings) name is weird, because even though I don't call me mum Penny I hear the name and she is what pops into my head and I assume that would be the same for most people.

 

[Shedhut]

I call my mother 'Mum', it would be weird if I said "I love you Mum" to a girlfriend.

but you would call her a "hot momma", wouldn't you?

 

[Handsome Rob]

Yeah, I call my mom "Mom." I could date a Linda. I wouldn't date a Robert (my dad), but that's because I likes the ladies. Honestly, though, with my name being Robert, I definitely wouldn't date a Roberta. That would be just a tad askew.

 

[turtlefocker]

No I could not, same with siblings. It'd be impossible.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

I think I could.

[Leto Atrides]

I'd be fine with dating someone with my mom's name, but it's probably because I don't call her that. Dating someone with my sister's name seems like it would be weird, at least at first.

 

[Mr. Credible]

i can't date girls with my mom or sister's name... it's just be too weird to be effing a girl and be like, "ooh, jessica/robyn!! yeah!" try doing that and not thinking about your mom and/or sister.

 

[Untilteld]

I knew this girl who looked exactly like a younger version of my mum that liked me. It was real awkward as to the point I couldn't look at her/talk to her.

 

[The Chairman]

No, I would not date anyone with the same name as my dad.

 

[SuBe]

I could never date anyone with the same name as my DAD, weird!!!

Psst... I'm a dude.

 

[WompuM]

My sis is engaged to a guy with the same name as my dad. Go figure.

 

[Ahura Mazda]

Given how unlikely it is I for me I never thought about it.

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

I probably wouldn't

I also wouldn't date someone who had a name similar to one of my exes, I think I would find that too weird as well...

I don't think it would be an issue.....
because I agree with JaD and Eggyman

True, I never call my mam by her first name. And I generally don't call girlfriends by theirs, either. Pet names and such.

I call my mom mom and my dad dad....... so, it wouldn't be an issue for me.

I knew this girl who looked exactly like a younger version of my mum that liked me. It was real awkward as to the point I couldn't look at her/talk to her.

Now that's weird...... I couldn't date anyone who looked like my dad. It would be freaky, more freaky than dating someone who had the same name as him.

I call my mom mom and my dad dad....... so, it wouldn't be an issue for me.

I call my mom, mom and mommy but I still know her name and it just gives me an awkward feeling.
