Skiles Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 I don't think I could do it. Someone I work with is dating a guy with the same name as her brother, and I just find the idea very odd.

For an added twist, before they all grew up, her brother hung out with the two of them a lot. I think I could do it, as I have no sisters, and my mom is just "mom" to me, not her actual name.
Mortir Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 That is probably seen as a positive to some.
bnmjy Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 My uncle married a woman with the same name as my mother, that is his sister. Weird af imo.
Vamped Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 You people call your significant others by their actual names?! XD 1
Bouvre Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 Immediate would be tough, but extended? I'm honestly surprised I don't have a Daniel in my extended family: we're mostly white and blue collar. The names are often as common as the people. 1
tsar4 Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 I don't see why not. But this brought up something I had not realized, I never have dated a woman with the same first name as a relative. Seems kinda odd. I don't think I was ever interested in a woman with the same first name as a relative...maybe there's a subliminal factor?

XD Generally I go with "babe" in casual conversation. During sex, I might say the person's name. Which is why I can't do it. I don't want to accidentally moan my sister's name. I would hate that.

Yeah, maybe if it's a distant-ass relative I don't even know very well, I would be fine with it. But not close family.

Juice McKenzie Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 i've thought about that and i honestly dont know

Oh yeah, when I say "distant," I mean it more in the sense of "not close." I have an aunt I'm incredibly close with, and one I've never met. The former I would consider close family, the latter a distant relative. 1
Poof Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 Yea I did. My first girlfriend had my sisters name 1
NaBarney Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 I had a crush on a girl with the same name as my dog

My girl is named after a mortal combat character, legitimately - so I personally don't have that problem myself rn.

For the purposes of this thought experiment, let's say they're just really pretty in a "girl next door" kind of way. If it's a dude, "boy next door" vibe. Edited November 28, 2020 by Skiles

Siblings or parents names, hell no, however, since I'm not blood related to any of my family due to adoption, I don't have any such issues with dating some stranger with the same name as an extended relative. Not really close to those relatives anyway.

Distortedreasoning Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 yeah i dont see why it would bother anyone? 1

Like honestly, during sex, do you want to accidentally be like, "Aw, fuck yeah, Terrance" and then think to yourself, "Fuck, my little brother's name is Terrance"? I think at that point I would realize that I could never fuck that person again.

I mean, if you're able to consciously dictate what you call the person while having sex, then more power to you. I don't have that ability. I'm not thinking ahead here. It's all I can manage to not say the name of whatever ex I may or may not be thinking about in the moment.

So... aren't pet names easier for all? Also, in all of my experience, I have never called someone the wrong name during sex... even my sloppiest, drunkest excursions.

And during sex, it isn't calling them the wrong name that's the issue. It's calling them by their name in the heat of the moment.
