Have you ever met someone with the same name as you?

[melanieeeB]

First of all, Melanie is a pseudo name.
the story: I was hit by this old ass creepy man when I was like 16 and he asked for my name and Melanie was the first name that came to my mind lol (after that I ran for my life) since that I always use it tho


Anyways in my office is a woman named Melanie and like she is awesome, we might become friends but it's hella weird to me to say that name Melanie to someone else

And well I have never met someone with my Name, like I met people who had my Nickname as Names but not my name name

[horatiohornblower]

When I was a kid. It was exceedingly rare. As my name was not at all popular. In high school. I worked in the office for credits. So, I saw all the student files. Only one other kid. In a school of over 2,000 had my name. But he was in a lower grade level. So, I only came across him once or twice.

At some point my name became much more popular. So, I come across guys in their early 20's and younger with my name. Which always seems weird. Because it was always so unusual to find someone with my name. I didn't get to become used to it in childhood like a Dave or John would.

However, my name is still pretty uncommon. So, is my last name. Making me the only person in the world with my first an last name combined. At least as far as I can tell with web searches.

[Raidernation01]

Yeah I was like what's your name, he was like Tony, I was like fuck You Tony. Then he was like what's your name, and I was like Tony then he was like fuck You Tony!

[devilish-cutie]

Yes, my name is very common so im very used to it.
Im more weirded out wgen i know people w tge same name and i associate tge bame with one person so it can feel weird when i meet someone else w that name

[TacosRAwesome]

No but I email a few people with my first name due to work. My partner had an office mate with my full name (excluding middle which I don't use) had I married my ex.

[Apple1996]

Only once. My name isn't crazy popular

[John1972]

Never meet them but was on my way home from work one day and everyday I had to pass the afterlife casket and monument company. I’ve passed this establishment twice a day for 10 years and never paid much attention until this one day they were loading a large granite stone onto the truck for deliver and sure enough there was my name not just first and last but the middle name as well. It sent shivers down my spine.

[InventorofWarp]

Yes. Went to grade, middle and high school with him. No, we were never friends or particularly good buddies, he was just kinda there. Or I guess from his perspective I was just kinda there since I was mostly a loner. Although he spelled it one letter off from mine so I guess it doesn't really count. It IS my name just not the anglicized version like mine is.
Also there are multiple actors and musicians with my name. Again, none anglicized with the one letter changed.

[MCheetah]

No, but I did once notice my half-sister dating a guy with the same name as me. It was disturbing, even for me.

My real name sucks, though. It's probably one of the Top Five "gayest" sounding names for men out there. I mean, it's not as bad as Marshall Mathers, which sounds even gayer, but then again, I'm not Eminem.

[HoraceB]

I work with 2 guys in my department with my same 1st name. Fortunately we have different last initials. Some others refer to us by what state we're from. We've had long discussions with each other & the others about what to call each other. We usually refer to each other with 1st name, last initial.

[MuddyMole]

It's a pretty unoriginal first name, so there were three or four of us at school, but I don't recall ever actually meeting an adult with the same name.
Someone with the same first and last names as me, appears to be a bit of a celebrity in the world of spoon-whittling, but I haven't met them, and don't wish to.

[Heartache0405]

I have a coworker with the same first name as me. I used to know a guy in middle school and freshman year of high school who had the same first name as me. A customer at work told me that their husband’s name was the same name as mine. I guess there are more people out there with my name than I originally thought.

[DamnSam]

Same full name, same date of birth but different country

And once, same first name, extreme familiar face and body structure, same style down to the fabric, he even had the same style of skateboard, original girlz (which you could have purchased only back in 2011 or before) with big wheels (not easy to get) and see through gritape... met him in 2018

[Jaximus-Lion]

So far! 2 people. One was our neighbour, at my age, maybe a year older. Have not seen him since 2004. The 2nd one is my dad's cousin's son! She liked me so much so she named her kid the same name (he is 15 years younger).

[SweetDumplings]

Yes but she was a dike and I was just really sweet and innocent compared to her, not only that, I was very talkative and happy, she was not, she was the complete opposite of me, she was miserable, boyish, lame and mean

[Wraith_Cemetery]

Both my first name and last name are rather unique so there aren't many people with those names. I have never met anyone with the same last name as mine but I've met one other person with my first name. It was a different spelling though.

[FunkyMonkee]

First or last but, not both. However, my dad, brother, cousin and long distance relative all had the same name.
Another cousin has a sister named, Michelle Murphy and he eventually married a girl named, Michelle Murphy!

[humanearth]

Only once in my lifetime. My Amish neighbors their grandfather has my name.

My first name is Gottlieb. Its a very rare name now days, but in the 17th and 18th century that name was as common as John, Dale, or Bill

[DryGermanGuy]

@humanearth With that name you have to drive a Mercedes. ;-)

[humanearth]

@DryGermanGuy only if its this Mercedes


I think this one is cool

[humanearth]

How common is Gottlieb in Germany

[DryGermanGuy]

@humanearth Well, my quip was about Gottlieb Daimler of course. I would assume a number of people were named after him. Nowadays the name is archaic and rare, though. I do know one "Gottfried", he is even a few years younger than me.

[humanearth]

@DryGermanGuy i am named after my great great grandfather. He was lived from 1848 - 1938

[ShadezMcgee]

I have, yes. I was the only one with my name in my first school. When I changed school districts and entering high school, there were like 8-9 others that had my name too. Albeit spelled differently.

[Avicenna]

First name alone? Lots of them. I actually recently met someone with the exact same first and last names as me and we're trying to figure out if we're related.

[ArchivalMars2]

I've met like two or three, a few of them had different spellings of my name but yes I've still actually met a few people with the same name as me.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

My name isn't uncommon so I've met a few and had to work out a system of who would be Brianna and who would be Bri (or variation of it).

[BeMuse]

Yes I have met two or three guys that share my first name in my life. It's pretty common, but it's not top 10 or anything.

[slatyb]

Yes. There are about 180 people with my name in the US. Once I was at a poker table with another person with my exact name.

[LikeALog]

I haven't met someone, but I have the same first and last name of a very famous person. It gets ridiculous at times making a reservation by telephone.
