Would you date someone with the same first name as yours?

I know a Sandy Beach! I'm just surprised that her sisters weren't Coco and Pebble. I also knew a Sandy Brandi (wow - I had completely forgotten about her!).

A man I knew used to say that, if he ever dated someone whose name was Linda, Melinda, or Belinda, he would insist that she keep her maiden name. His last name is Kokinda. I guess Lucinda would be in that group, too.

And then there are monograms that spell words!

I know of a Carol Carroll. (Carroll being her married name - she got married in a day and age when married women changed their names, no questions asked.) "What's your name?" "Carroll." "Oh, I know you're Mrs. Carroll - I meant your first name." "Carol." ""

Imagine Anita Sandra Jones marrying John Smith. If I were in Anita's shoes, I think I'd keep my maiden name. I don't think I could handle walking around with a laptop bag monogrammed ASS.

I've gotta tell you -- everything about those initials seems right to me. I'd rock that bag.
