I have dated a couple of Dwaynes in my recent years.

I thought you meant the same name as you have when I first saw it, lol, I doubt I would meet a man named Barbara though..lol

My daughter Christina married Christopher this last summer so they are both called Chris. I call her Stia so I don't cause any confusion anyway.

Had two or three Michelle's, a couple of Wendy's, two Becky's, and two Carrie's.

I think I should just stay away from women whose names end in a vowel.

Honestly, I think the odds are almost zero of it even being a possibility.

Somehow I end up with women with really unique names.

Dezra, Elvira, Tresa, Nilka, Echo...ya see what I mean?

When I read the title to this I thought you were asking if I would date someone with MY name.

It would be unusual, but I think i could Date a girl named Joshua... of course if it got serious and we got married that could get complicated, both being named Joshua Mills. I might almost insist she keeps her late name to avoid confusion.

I have no choice... it's awfully hard to exclude every Michael. Its did seem after we split though every single guy I met, his name was MikE!

I AGREE WITH DAWNETTE, IVE PROBABLY MET 5 JOANNES SINCE IVE BEEN SINGLE IT FREAKED ME OUT AT FIRST, BUT I GOT OVER IT

I have dated someone named PAT, it ws weird though.

The Mike's of the world seem to flock to me for some reason

Yes, I would, but I think I would be hard pressed to find another woman named: Michal.

Weird, but funny, story to my ex-wife's name. They thought she was going to be a he, so they had the baby name picked out already: Michael.

When she was born, they decided to just drop the "el" and name her Micha, but they screwed-up the birth certificate and she became "Michal". Her parents just said WTH, we liked the name anyway so I guess the baby's name was meant to be Micha(e)l.

I'm sure there are other women named Micha(e)l out there, but I have yet to meet one.

Anyway, regardless of the name, I wouldn't attach anything negative to a person's name - it's not who they are, it's just what they are called.

Of course I would! I surely wouldn't give an ex the power in my own mind to forever taint a name they happened to have been given at birth. They don't own it! Self empowerment says love the person, not the name. lol

I hear ya! Not only that...

My oldest sons name is Michael, I have an Uncle Mike,a cousin Mike who has a son Michael the 3rd....his sister married yet another Mike and they named their baby boy Michael Jr also!
Not to mention there are 2 Mike's that I work with and my neighbors 8 yr old kid is a Mike.
It dosen't even surprise me when I'm meeting someone and they say their name is Mike..I say of coarse it is!

My son is Michael aslo, LOL

nope, i stay from satan !

of coarse it is!

How about someone with the same last name? What starts out sounding kinda interesting becomes strange over time...

Dating processes are dependent on the analysis of rocks.

Would prefer it actually. That way when we're in the sack and I say her name..it's right...no matter what.

But if you need all their names to be the same, is that an indication of Alzhiemer's or a lack of meaningful conversation before you hit the sack?

ummmmm What were you saying?

Sorry, I forgot my little smiley or laughing face to let anyone know that I was trying to be funny.

I've been single so long, I don't even remember my exes name.

So it's long term memory loss, too! How fortunate for your next relationship! It will be like having a completely clean slate. Now, that's a bonus!

Before, during and after...if shes still conscious. I'm a wellspring of meaningful conversation. At least to someone I care about enough to be "in the sack" with. To all others, I just say "Have a good day".

Have a good day.
