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

Question

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.

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).

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...

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.

nerms123 · Answer

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.

Sevenpointfive · Answer

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.

rgb008 · Answer

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

edjee4 · Answer

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

AmtgardJean · Answer

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.

Dreagon · Answer

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.

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.

StephenCF · Answer

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 😡

zagor · Answer

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

alice55 · Answer

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

CuriousChick101 · Answer

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! 😉

frerardsprincess · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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

GuidoThePizzaMaker · Answer

My name is unusual to most Americans and its an instant turn off when someone can't pronounce your name. Its prevented a lot of girls from liking me
