Could you date someone who had a name you didn't like?

[OfDeath]

Could you get past that? Maybe they have the same name as someone from your past whom you hated. Or maybe they have the same name as your father, mother, brother or sister.

You get the idea.

Yes

No

I think it would be just a little odd at first if he shared the same name as my dad, but not a dealbreaker. As far as people I've hated in my past goes, that doesn't really matter to me. They'll probably change my impression of that name (for lack of a better word; basically who I think of when I hear it).

[OfDeath]

That's sort of a positive outlook

[Opinion Owner]

Thanks! I've noticed that when I've met nice people with the same name as people I don't like, that I usually think of them instead of the other people. Probably also because I try to keep people I don't like out of my life, so the one with that name still presently in my life would be the nice person.

[OfDeath]

There you go 😉

[luvstoned4him]

I could find a way to get over it if they had a great personality

[luvstoned4him]

thanks for mho

[DeviloftheValleys]

No. I swipe left instantly if I dislike the name.

[LtJackass]

I ain't dating a girl named Trent

[OfDeath]

Gold

[SueAnon84]

Why not? That sounds unique and cool!

[LtJackass]

Looks like we found a Trent

[lightbulb27]

Ladies and Gentlmen, "Mr and Mrs. Ohno Frankenstyne". (she's chinese... chuckle chuckle)
May I introduce "Clyde and Bonnie Gunman" (think about it)
Billy and Brenda Beekeeper?
Lucy Lawless?
oh well...

I think so... a good laugh means a lot these days...

[kaewk]

There’s a reason I don’t like these names, because the people who typically have them aren’t like-able.. so it’s really unlikely I would date someone with a name I disliked. While I wouldn’t want to, I might.

[OfDeath]

It makes sense

[nerms123]

No I can’t date people with names I don’t like because it makes me paranoid. Having said that I would probably like someone’s name if I like them.

[OfDeath]

It can make it a bit weird

[Sevenpointfive]

i can't stand the name desirae, shanice and yes it matters, but if i liked her i'd give her my own name so it wouldn't matter.

[OfDeath]

Any particular reason you don't like those names?

[Sevenpointfive]

yeah. they sound trashy. just like i don't like bernice, griselda or denicia. an ugly name is a personal opinion. too plain of a name is also a turnoff... like kate, sharon, beth. there needs to be some originality to me. i never liked my first name, and i didn't like my middle name, but i stuck with my middle name because it was different. it's not so different anymore.

[OfDeath]

Fair enough

[rgb008]

There is only one male name I will never date.
The name of my brother that also happens to be the name of my ex.
Too much of that name in my life.
Time for a detox lol

[OfDeath]

Hahaha!

[rgb008]

but I think one out of a billion names isn't horrible.
I think my reasoning is very understandable lol

[edjee4]

Not a dealbreaker. If I don’t like his name I’ll find something else to call him 😂

[OfDeath]

Good solution

[AmtgardJean]

The only time a name ever bothered me was when me and a girl I liked had the same last name. Not related, but it just bugged me.

[OfDeath]

Hahahaha! Gold

[Dreagon]

I probably could get over someone having a stupid name once I got the know the girl better but the bias I have against certain names might prevent me from getting to know someone better. I'm looking at you Emma's.

[Flower7]

I wouldn't date someone who had the same name as one of my close relatives.

[OfDeath]

It would be weird right

[Flower7]

Yeah, especially during sex lol

[Harmseygrace]

I couldn't date someone with the same name as my 'father'. He was abusive.

[OfDeath]

I'm sorry to hear that. Good and bad. Its the dilemma facing us all.

[Harmseygrace]

Yup it is

[eshedd]

I’m sorry what? That’s like the stupidest reason I’ve ever heard not to date someone

[OfDeath]

You would be surprised what matters to some people.

[eshedd]

Yeah, apparently, obviously no, it doesn’t matter to me what their name is 😂

[Yessir12]

I wouldn’t date someone named Hitler. Although it’s illegal

[OfDeath]

Is that actually illegal?

[Yessir12]

Yeah. In Germany, it’s illegal to name anyone Hitler.

[OfDeath]

Wow. You learn something new every day

[Twalli]

My sister won't date anyone who has the same name as me, I do the same with her name. Yet I don't care if she has the same name as my mother.

[OfDeath]

Interesting

[Twalli]

In her words there is already one very important person on her life with that name and no boyfriend will be more important to her, at least for a while. Also it'd be difficult to qualify who bnb you're talking about every time.

[zagor]

No me and my girlfriend Snotgrassia get along fine...

[OfDeath]

Glad to hear it

[CuriousChick101]

My brother dated a girl with the same name as me, and I would have no problem dating someone with the same name as him. I guess we both have nice names! 😉

[StephenCF]

I was never too sure, but I know I’d never date a girl called Jade 😳 It would bring too many flashbacks of a girl with that name making my life a living hell in primary school 😡

[alice55]

That I don't like yes bt that I hate I doubt so and if he has the same name as a family member I can't that's too weird

[frerardsprincess]

Names aren’t really a big deal to me so I would and if I really hated it I could just use a nickname all the time and it wouldn’t bother me

[Likes2drive]

If I was attracted to them and liked them I would have to overlook it and maybe call them by a nickname or pet name, I think it would be worse if they had the same name as my ex wife, lol

[TacosRAwesome]

As long as I can call them something else or by their last name.
