Serious (ok, not really) question....
Would you ever date someone who had the same name as one of your siblings? Or would that be too weird?

No, I would never date a "Karen".....not that there's anything wrong with that.

I don't have any siblings, but it would be a little weird. My aunt married someone with the same name as her brother though.

In my family, including in-laws, we have Gene and Jean (and at one point I dated a Gina), and Chris and Kris.

My parents will hit 50 years in January, and my mom's name is the same as my dad's (now-estranged) sister.

I know what you mean - it would depend a little on how unique/common the name is in general - if your sister is the only Sheherazade that you've ever met - dating someone with that name might seem weird - but a Kathy - there's so many of those that you've probably known and been friends with that it might not even be a thought.

Better yet, would you date someone with the same familty name as your own (unrelated, obviously
)? I once had a colleague whose wife and he shared the surname "Murray". I would imagine that the issue comes up frequently with common surnames such as "Smith" or "Jones".

I don't know, a girl name Frisky sounds like she has some potential.

Couldn't decide which direction to go with that, so I took all three.

I didn't date a girl once because she had the same name as my ex-wife.
I don't think I could ever date someone with the same name as my mom.

I know a guy who was married for a year, got a divorce and then about 2 months later married another lady with the same first name. I asked him if he was trying to save money on wedding invitations.. needless to say I wasn't invited.

Both would be super weird for sure, but I don't think I could date a girl with the same name as my ex-wife...that would be too weird.

that wouldn't be weird. "Ummm... so when we're doing stuff, you mind if i call you by a completely different name? Ok, cool."
i met someone that had the same name, but it's just one of those things that crossed my mind if anything ever happened (which it won't). I really have no intention on doing it, but just thought it would be weird.

i would think dating someone w/ the same name as your ex would be ok (granted that they're not a psycho).

I'd much rather go out with a girl that had the same name as my sister, rather than my ex. Everybody is different I guess, but I was with her for like 8 years...I would find it kinda weird.

Only if she passes the litmus test and kisses at least as well as the sister.
