Do any of you know a bunch of people with the same name? Shoot, I know far too many people that are named Matt... actually, I even have a cousin named Matt. It's weird.

Discuss.

I hate it when I have a class with a few people of the same name, but I don't really know too many people with the same names. It's more annoying on the forums, when you have a nearly endless supply of Tidus, Yuna, Sephiroth, Cloud, etc. people with some random numbers or symbols tacked on.

No, I make a point to only have one person per name in my life at any time, if someone new with a name I already know appears, I'll pit the two against each other in a vicious gladiatorial deathmatch.

I know quite a few people with the name Jason. But I have nicknames for most of them. For example, I call one Jay.

Yeah, I used to be friends with two other people with my name. And there's always a lot in every one of my classes. It's a little confusing, but I've dealt with it my entire school career, so I'm definitley used to it.

I don't know any other girls named Brian.
I was named after the life of Brian by Monty Python.
MY mom claims it's Brianna. But it's Brian. [dies]
So I'm just Bri. I've never met another Bri.

I'm Megan, which I kind of run into a lot, but usually not spelled my way, otherwise known as the right way.

My boyfriend's name is Matt. ...xD

The funny thing is he has a cousin named Megan. I make fun of this fact.

The names "William" and "Chris" are REALLY common in my family. About 75% of the males on both sides of my family are named William or Chris (In fact, my name is Chris).

At my old school, there were many girls with either the same first or middle name @_@ There were a lot of Ashleys, Megans (each spelled a different way @_@), Amandas, etc. Ironicaly, no boys at my old school really fell into that category =/

At my new school, it's more of the same =/


I know too many people named Lisa... xD

O_o

Really? I only know one person named that :P The rest of the girls in her school are named Amanda or Jessica or Brittany or something like that >_>

I met a girl with the same first and last name before. I know a dozen or so girls with the same name, and apparently it's been one of the top 5 female baby names since 1997. So I guess there's a lot of little Hannahs running around.

09-01-2005, 06:38 AM
I know a lot of guys named Michael (like my boyfriend, I'm tempted to just call him by his middle name sometimes), Johnathan, and Alexander (or variations of such names, like Mike, John, and Alex). As for girls, Kim seems pretty popular. So is Mary, Katherine, and Karen (and, again, variations of the names).

HURRAY for guys named Tyler. I don't hear that name too often. :D

My real name is Justin, which is a semi-common name. However, I have not run into many people who carry that name in real life.

EDIT: Ha, now that I think about it, all my friend's have VERY common names. Brian, Steve, John, Kristin (yes, the spelling of this name isn't always consitent), and my girlfriend is named Alexis.

My name is Matt but I've never had much of a problem with people having my name. I'm a few years older than the average person here so I came before the Matt epidemic. Tell you friends to stop trying to be like me, okay?

In my year at school which consists of a little over 200 people there are 9 Toms, 7 Matts and 4 people called Chris who coincidentally all sit in a line in English class. THAT gets confusing.

I agree that Daniel is a common name... My brother's called Daniel :p
