My name, Tracey, is one of those "gender neutral but frequently female" names. I have met men with the name Tracey, but was never attracted or tempted, mostly because they were posh and boring.
My birth name is pretty unusual, there aren't many of us outside of Western PA, and now that I'm married (to a Patrick) and have a hyphenated last name, there are few (none?) duplicates.
Incidentally, in my family we had a string of Davids...my dad, my grandfather, and my step-uncle (he didn't last long).
My brother married a Patricia, I married a Patrick. She goes by Patty, he goes by Pat..bad thing is that their names are right below each other in my cell phone. I've sent my SIL a few lovey dovey texts. Thankfully she thinks it is hilarious.
Finally, I got a new coworker this week...who is a Tracy. She and I have the same job description, and share a (rather cramped) office. We work together on almost everything. To further complicate things, we have the SAME BLOODY INITIALS. It is driving our coworkers crazy, because right now we share a phone until she gets her own line. "Which Tracey/y do you want?" The interim solution is being called by last names until we sort it out or get nicknames.
