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.

Bouvre 1800 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tsar4 6187 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
