Today, I was introduced to my future stepmother, but it turns out that I already know her. Not only are we the same age and went to the same high school, when we were in the same math class together the teacher would often confuse our names because "we could pass as twins". FML

Today, I ran into an old friend from college on the bus to work. Having not seen each other in over 10 years, we spent a good 15 minutes talking about our lives after college. At the end, he asked me what my name was. FML

Today, I made a friend on an online chat. We got along fairly well and even traded Facebook accounts. I found out that the two of us had a lot of very surprising things in common. We were the same age, we were from the same school, and we even had the same boyfriend. FML

yeah my name isn't uncommon, but i've never met someone with the same spelling... which affects people pronouncation >_< also I'm named after a season... just to top it off... hippy parents sigh people need to think more carefully before nameing their children.

I know a kid named Huy (Pronounced "we") and he has a last name pronounced Win and spelt Huynh. I also know a kid name Cele and is said Sa-lay. I think I have one of the most common names EVER!! Its Katie but my real name is Kathleen.

Haha that's my name too. Kathleen, but I'm called Katie. Probably doesn't help much to the whole 'having a common name' thing, but the irony was too good to pass up :)
