There's a guy at my mom's work who is named Thomas Thomas

 

[Bag*Snob]

Would she rather be Lauren Lifshitz?

^^OMG. LOL I hella laughed!! That's crazy!! His parents actually named him that?? That's crazy. I mean at least this situation is because of marriage but your co-worker was actually named that?!?

lol last week my coworker was telling me about a guy name William Williams

 

[bjayadesigns]

I know a Stuart Stewart and my moms maiden name was Sandy Sanders

 

[jellyv]

My mom's first name and married name were the same. Very odd.

 

[purseproblm]

I knew a guy named Gordon Gordon

 

[Cindi]

I think I would use my middle name.

i've met tons of people who have the same first and last name. in fact, right now in 1 of my classes there's a wilton wilton (but he goes by will).

I work with a Nell Nelson by marriage, and went to grammar school with a Kelly Keller.

It's entertaining, for sure!

 

[Jeneen]

I work with a Nell Nelson by marriage, and went to grammar school with a Kelly Keller.

That reminds me, I knew a guy whose name was James Jameson. Everyone just called him JJ.

Why are people so mean to their kids???

 

[HauteMama]

Both surnames in this case are well-known and presitgious. I would keep my maiden name if I were her.

I went to school with a Patrick Patrick, and I always wondered why his parents would have done that. A name is something a child will carry for life, not a practical joke.
