Finding the right partner is difficult enough as it is, so I would certainly not rule someone out simply because of their name. What if that person is the best match you'll ever find? Do you really want to let that go just because of their name?
I rarely use my parents' names when referring to them, so I don't really think it wouldn't seem that weird to me anyway. Maybe if I were in that situation I'd use a nickname or some variation on the name to refer to my partner (with her approval of course), but if she wanted to be called by her actual name and that happened to be the same as my mother's name, I would certainly not reject a perfectly good woman because of that.

I feel like you. I couldn't imagine calling anybody by my mom's name. For my whole life I have been swiping left on those people and if it comes up in conversation by a person I approach I usually don't even talk to them afterwards. I couldn't just see calling a friend my mom's name either. I don't know why, I know probably three other people with my name and I called them by something else. I hate the way I say my name
Girls already be out here screaming “DADDY!!!” when they’re getting dicked down, I think they’re probably past the point of caring if their partner and their parents happen to have the same first name lmao.
Seeing how I don’t ever refer to my parents by their first names, I doubt I’d even make the connection.

LOL, I married a woman with the same first name as my mother, but it's not so surprising because both are from Germany and it's a common name,
My mother's name was so unusual that I have never met another lady with it, and likely never will. My dad's name was very common and one of my sisters married someone with the same name.
And no, I will not tell my mom's name because it is literally so unusual that people would be able to find my home address if they had it.Woah this is a great question!! Thinking about it, I think it would be awkward to date someone with the same name as my mum but if I love that person... i'm not sure. Yeah I think I would have to call her something different. It's so silly but I would feel weird.
I usually don't call my parents by their first names, and if the problem arises, I can use the abbreviation, as it doesn't remind me of the name at all.
Yeah why not. My boyfriend has the name of my sister. And her boyfriend has my name. Lol just a coincidence tho
it would be a bit strange at first but ultimately i'm not going to not get in a good relationship simply because of a person's name.
Lol I actually was interested in someone who had the same name as my father.. but there has to be some kind of nickname something 😂 I'll make one up if I have to
My parents’ names are a little outdated and not hear of much anymore but no I wouldn’t date anyone with the same name as them.
Why not, I never call a partner by his name anyway but use petnames all the time xD so it doesn't really matter.
It wouldn't bother me as much because I rarely ever think of either of my parents names, nor do I run into women with the same name as my mom.
Sure, someone I'd date would most likely have a "goth name" anyway (example: mine is Bloodrayne)

~ Mrs MansonMy parents both have really unique names so itd be extra weird...
My parents have pretty uncommon names so I doubt that will ever happen to me. However if it did I'd go with the nickname option.
Basically no problem
But if he had my brothers name as first name and my dad's name as middle name that would be too muchI don't know. I guess if I had a nickname for her (like babe or honey), then I could. Otherwise, I'm not sure I could.
I don't know, this is a tough one for me, my mom was the love of my life. I definitely would not anyone with the same name as my dad though.
My mom's name is Marie. I recently got hung up on a Mary. Basically, the same name.
As long as girls calling their bfs "daddy" are a thing I would.
Especially since I don't call my parents by their names.I have the same name then my gf's dad.. Her mom often makes jokes about it! Lol
Hell yeah, it doesn’t matter! Cmon, Christopher, where u at?
