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 saw my boyfriend for the first time in a while. When he came over we realized that we had not only gotten the same haircut, but we were also wearing the same sweater. We are a matching old couple at 17. 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.

Hahaha. That happened to me in the doctor's office a few years ago. We were the same age, too...and my name isn't all that common.

I agree with #6. I'm an Alex too and I've stopped looking because it's never for me

I've only ever met one person with my name and she was ninety-something, and that was when I was 6! I don't find this depressing. :/

The first time I met someone else with my name, Anita, I was working. The lady who was at least 80 (I was 17 at the time) looked at my nametag and said I must be a good worker because we have the same name. She was so sweet haha. My name isn't that uncommon, though, but she's the only other Anita I've ever met.
