Today, I expressed my feelings to a guy I've liked for a long time. He basically turned me down because I have the same name as his mom, and dating me would be too weird. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend told me it wasn't working out and he was breaking up with me. The reason? I have the same first and last name as a very unpopular girl, and he gets embarrassed when people mistakenly assume he's going out with her. FML
Today, my boyfriend called me by his mother's name for the 100th time. I'm a guy. FML
Today, I decided to finally tell my name to this really hot guy I had been anonymously chatting with for a couple of weeks. He said he would be fine with whoever I am, and want to go out with me. After sending my name, there was a long, awkward pause, and his last reply to me was, "Oh." FML
Today, I went on a first date with a guy I really like. He brought up that there was a person staring at us from a nearby table. That person was my mom. FML
Today, I told the guy I liked about my feelings, and he says, "Sorry I don’t like you, but can I get your sister's number?" FML
Today, I finally got up the nerve to ask out my crush, only to find out that they're already in a committed relationship with my mom. FML
Today, my boyfriend said that he doesn't have to marry me because we coincidentally have the same last name. FML
Today, I had a first date with a guy I met online. And his mom. FML
Today, I found out I was named after the woman my dad used to stalk when he was in high school. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. His mom stared at me throughout dinner before finally blurting out, "I'm sorry, I can't get past the fact that you look just like his ex!" It turns out I do. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He has a point..imagine him calling your name out in bed.

I don't see why it would be weird, unless he calls his mom by her first name.

Is his mom's name something extremely generic like "Jenny"? And who actually calls their mom by their first name? It seems like an excuse.

I call both my parents by their first names. My dad since I was like 8 and my mom since I was like 10. People always think it's weird, but I don't see the big deal. I could never date someone with the same name as my dad though. It would be ugh I think.

Yeah, I couldn't moan out my Mom's name during sex.

For some it really doesn't matter they know that a persons name doesn't connect them to other people...both my uncle and cousin are with women with the same name as their sister.

Unfortunately for OP, her love interest is not one of those people.

If your uncle and cousin share a sister, then dating women with a family name is probably a perk! (cue the banjos)

I agree that this sucks, but I could never date or sleep with someone that has the same name as my father or brother.

I can't date guys who are bald or shave their head bald because it would remind me of my bald dad, which would be totally weird and awkward!

My dad is also bald and I feel the same way! Although if my bf lost his hair years down the line, I wouldn't dump him or anything of course.
