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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

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.

I'm not saying you deserve it, but he has a valid point

Yeah I get that. I wouldn't either, same with people with my sisters name. Thankfully you don't get many Karen's or Daisy's my age.

I can understand where he's coming from. Names can be a game changer, ex's names, family members names and disliked people's names can all prevent a relationship. I'm not saying it's right or wrong I'm just saying It happens.

My husband has the same name as my father. A little weird at first, and I considered not dating him because of it. Would have been the biggest mistake of my life. He is the best thing that ever happened to me. Don't let a name stop you - you'll get over it. I don't call my father by his name anyway, and I don't use my husband's name in bed (I gave him a nickname for that *wink*). :-)

That's what nick names are for...I understand, why it can be strange, I also think it would be weird dating a boy with my fathers name. But he could have given you a nice nick name, try to ignore the similarity and soon the weirdness would have worn of, because he'd be used to it...

Well, can you blame him?

My uncle married someone with the same name as his sister (my mother) and so the two shared the same name when they married. They also share the same birthday which is pretty freaky.
