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

My name is very female, so this isn't an issue.

As far as names of ex bf's- I don't care. It's not like they'll behave the same because they have the same name.

My name is also very feminine... no chance of meeting a guy with that name or even anything similar.

Along the same line of questioning... how about seriously dating someone whose name rhymes with yours (think "Julia Goulia" in The Wedding Singer)? This happened to a friend of mine... and she wound up marrying the guy. She has a totally cheeseball name, but has a fantastic husband, so I guess it all worked out okay.

My name rhymes! Well, not my full name. My last name rhymes with Jess. It used to irritate me in middle school, but I kind of like it now. People remember me. I know a Jen Hren (her maiden name) and a Janice Kaplanis (her married name). I think one-syllable rhymes aren't as weird as multi-syllables ones.

Dating a Jesse would be okay, since I do not go by Jessie, though it'd annoy me if other people call him Jess.

Dating someone with my Dad's name would be weird for sure, though Larry isn't very common in my age group, so probability is on my side. I don't get along with my one brother, so Daniel/Dan would be tough, too.
