Have you met someone sharing the same name as you? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 89/100. zandi458 (5973)   ranked 3 out of 256 in freind6 months ago

I was browsing through Facebook today and what caught me by surprise is I found someone having exactly the same name as mine. Sharing my christian name is common everywhere but what perplexed me is we also have the same surname and both of us are from different ends of the world.

Out of curiosity I requested her to be my friend and she agreed to my request. So as normally done in facebook they will write who has been friends with whom and I found it interesting to read 'Angela L is now friend to Angela L.' Facebook is one of the most popular social site that connects old friends and classmates as well as the unknowns. Though I don't regularly use facebook but what draws me there is their farm town which is a popular game that teaches you to be a progressive farmer in the virtual world. It is interesting and addictive. Have you met someone sharing the same name as yours?

my name isn't unusual,so i have ever put my name in google curiously,it was surprised i found someone having the same name as mine,i also would request someone to be my friend if i also found someone has a same name as mine.but for now i didn't have same opportunity to meet the person.


myLot reputation of 92/100. chingmerry (301)   ranked 30 out of 256 in freind  6 months ago

lol:)i made a mistake for my input,my name is unusual.


myLot reputation of 89/100. zandi458 (5973)   ranked 3 out of 256 in freind  6 months ago

so you have found that you are not alone having your name. It is good to know at least we have someone out there having the same name.


myLot reputation of 92/100. chingmerry (301)   ranked 30 out of 256 in freind  6 months ago

i probably feel strange when you call each other with same name.you are so used to hearing your name many time but so it is so strange to speak by your own voice in public.


myLot reputation of 89/100. zandi458 (5973)   ranked 3 out of 256 in freind  6 months ago

I understand the weirdness of having to call your own name. Like I did in facebook, I highlighted on my wall to notify my friends so that everyone realize that it is not a mistake they see a 'double'.

When i was younger i met my classmate's cousin with exactly the same first and last names as mine. While in college the postmaster told me my letter was opened by mistake by our school nurse who also have the same first and last names. And now that i'm married my sister in law and i share the same first and last names! One time our office issued me a check and printed on it was my married name but what caught my attention the moment i read it was the middle initial. It was supposed to be A for my maiden name but on that check was P which is my husband's middle initial (we work in the same company). And then i blurted out saying "my sister in law can encash it, it's in her name!" It's good we have different nicknames! This is one of the reasons i write my complete name -- my two first names, my whole middle (maiden name)hyphenated with my married family name, just to set me apart from the many women i share my very common name with. happy

Ah...yours is more complicated as you live to share your name with a number of people. It looks like complications have started to show up with you. It is good that you add in your married name. This will solve any problem in future.

Hi zandi,

It is really a pleasure to come into contact who shares the same name and surname. My first name are numerous, I mean Rajib. But the full name of mine is so unique that I have never heard anywhere so far with the same combination. And I feel I am the on;ly person under the Sun to have this name.

Hurray ....... happy


myLot reputation of 89/100. zandi458 (5973)   ranked 3 out of 256 in freind  6 months ago

happyHi raj, you should be very thankful to your parents who are far sighted as they have chosen a unique name for you. In this world you are one and only person that carries your name and you can proudly say your name is your trademark. Rajib is a nice name, and so is the owner. wink


myLot reputation of 90/100. krajibg (2496)   ranked 66 out of 256 in freind  6 months ago

Thanks a lot.....

I have not actually met anyone with the same name as I have. I do know there is someone out there with my name though. I used to get her bills and her credit was poor and affected mine for a little while.


myLot reputation of 89/100. zandi458 (5973)   ranked 3 out of 256 in freind  6 months ago

That is the only concern of having to share the same name. If the other person has bad reputation then we who share the same name indirectly bears the brunt. sad

Hello Zandi,
I have come across a couple of guys who had the same first name as mine but I have never met a person with the same surname as well. The thing is that my name has been very carefully thought after and it has got a bit of Indian Mythology going into it. Hence, it is really difficult for people to have the same first name and even if they do it, having the same surname is going to be nearly impossible.


myLot reputation of 89/100. zandi458 (5973)   ranked 3 out of 256 in freind  6 months ago

Your parents have given you a unique name that bring out a special meaning. I am sure it is not an easy name to be used by others. When I found someone having exactly the same first and second name as mine I was a bit curious and went all out to check where she comes from. She might be as surprised as I am when she finds that another person shares her name. lol

I have a simple name and i thought i would find someone similar to me. I was only able to find one person and he lives in HK.

But then again some peoples privacy may prevent you from ffind or searching for them.

When i google i find myself bring a doctor.

It pretty fun to find yourself somewhere, maybe your name is ment to do something similar?


myLot reputation of 89/100. zandi458 (5973)   ranked 3 out of 256 in freind  6 months ago

Initially I find it odd to have someone sharing exactly the same name as mine. Sharing the first name is common as my name is a christian name but not my surname as it is very much a local name but it didn't stop others from having it. Strange but true, I am not the only person in this wide world under my name.

By searching the google site, I can find people sharing the same name of mine. It is strange to know some a real shots respectively in the recreational, educational and other fields.

The face to face experience with someone sharing the same name is in a hospital. The lady in the phamacy was puzzled and after double check we did not take the wrong medicine.

Recently, I heard about a new mobile phone service, which helps you to find and make friends with people of the same name at request. Strange in deed, and young people might be curious about it.


myLot reputation of 89/100. zandi458 (5973)   ranked 3 out of 256 in freind  6 months ago

That is the problem of people having the same name. My sister encountered the same incident. She went to a private clinic and on that day the regular nurse was on leave and the nurse took out the wrong record file. when the doctor checked her he was surprise as the record seem not in tally with her previous appointment and health issue like the BP readings and apparently the person that have the same name as her is a hypertensive patient while my sister is not. It was only discovered that it was the wrong file when they checked the age. A far age gap as the other patient is in her late 50s while my sister is only in her later 20s. It is not all that good when we have others sharing our name and worse staying in the same place. There will be a lot of complications.

I had done a search on my name around a month ago, and found quite a number of people having the same name and surname as me. Some of them are even staying in the same country as me. I will have to say I'm not very surprised about it, as my Chinese surname is one of the most common Chinese surname around the world. There are probably billions of Chinese having the same surname as me. As for my name, it's also nothing unusual too. However, I had yet to meet anyone with the same name and surname as me. I had met before people with the same name, but not the same surname as me.


myLot reputation of 89/100. zandi458 (5973)   ranked 3 out of 256 in freind  6 months ago

It is not surprising as most chinese have common surnames but only the second name differs.


myLot reputation of 93/100. gcorp09 (548)   ranked 111 out of 256 in freind  6 months ago

Yes, it's certainly true. There are a lot of Chinese who have the same surname. With so many Chinese, it's really not hard to find people with same names...

Twice I have received a package that belonged to someone else with the same name. I also noticed on my credit report that there was an address there for a person that had or used the same name as me in a town about 250 miles away.

The funny part though was with the first package I received. I came home from work and my wife said I had a parcel. She had opened it and inside was a t shirt with a note from a girl that said she missed me and couldn't wait for me to visit her again. It was funny because if my wife had not known better then it could have been fatal, we still laugh about it after 15 years. The second package was couriered just a few months ago, I signed for it thinking it belonged to my wife. As he drove away I noticed that it didn't belong to us and got phoned him to come back for it, I told him the story about the first time and he had a good laugh.


myLot reputation of 89/100. zandi458 (5973)   ranked 3 out of 256 in freind  6 months ago

Wow...it nearly mess you up. That is the downside of sharing the same name.

There is someone with the same name as me and she happens to be a successful realtor and obviously nothing like me!

Years ago I worked with a guy whose name was Paul and we shared the same surname. We often received each other’s mail etc. One day Paul said to me as he delivered something that belonged to me which had been sent to him by mistake, “Please get married Paula and don’t marry my brother!”


myLot reputation of 89/100. zandi458 (5973)   ranked 3 out of 256 in freind  6 months ago

ha..ha..that's funny. well, maybe it could have been a lot of fun having the same surname with your other half.
