My name is Christina and my boyfriends name is Christopher not really the same name but his oldest daughters name is Jacqueline and my youngest daughter is named jackeline so we call his daughter big Jackie and my daughter little Jackie or jack jack
I mean people name their kids after the dad a ton… this is just weird, seems like you’re searching for a reason not to date them

My husband has a sister named Lauren. It was more weird to me than them in all honesty. Our oldest son is named after my husband, but we don’t call him by his legal name. 
I think it’s all getting past it in your own head.

Nice guys aren’t a dime a dozen out there. I wouldn’t overlook him just because of his name.
In my family I have always gone by my middle name because me and my grandma have the same first name
No not at all. Could be fate lol. Like having a junior. Only not biological.
Umm many, many name their sons after their fathers, grandfathers etc!!!

Kids have been named after their fathers for centuries in many cultures, just give one a nickname.
Tbh, maybe use your pet name as a temporary solution until you know that it’s a long haul situation. I hardly ever call my partner by his actual name. But then again, I hardly ever call my son by his actual name either unless he is in trouble, it’s always bubba or his nickname (his first and middle names initials)
Kinda weird but I’d just call my kid a nickname ( all my kids have nicknames anyways ) or call him a nickname or short form of his name ?

We like double names in my family and it’s not planned. My brother married an Ashley and she has a son with my brother’s name. And I’m marrying someone with the same name as my littlest brother. We just call each other nicknames
My son is Lucca xx I love the name x always have… I’d feel lucky to be able to say it more
That’s so superficial. You’re not dating this guy because of his name? I babysat for a blended family. Each had a bunch of boys. A boy of each shared a name. The new husband, old husband & one of his son’s all had the same name. It got confusing at times. Middle names were involved to seperate. But it didn’t keep them from being together.

My husband married a girl he got pregnant. She has the same name as his sister.
Tbf, he didn’t know until she had the baby bc she used her middle name.
Ummm, here’s a funny story! My son is the 4th with his name. We met a man at a church campout that had the same name, became friends and my son became close to him pretty quick, however I was still going through my grieving of divorce a year before and wasn’t fully ready for a relationship! However, about 6 months later I figured why not go on a date with said man. He has the same name as my son so I kind of thought about that as well and then was like he’s a super nice guy. (We’ve been together for 7 years) yes he gets asked if my son is his son but he always says no but he is mine. He is like a father to him.

My partner of 14 years has the same name as my sister, she’s Jessica and his jess, but I have never called my sister Jessica lol it’s Jessie and if I ever had another son I would be calling him Jesse which makes that 3 in the family.

No, hold back on the nice guy just because of the name. Find someone else who’s ok with a different name.
My 7 year old daughter has the same name as my 6 month old bonus granddaughter just spelled different
No way. Couldnt do it
My boyfriend and my dad have the same name and theyre only 2 yrs apart in age lol. My neighbor next door is dating someone with the same name as her son. It’s not that weird they just use a nickname for the kid.
Call him by a nickname /last name. You could find a way around this problem if you wanted to.

I’ve dated someone with the same name as my son, not a big deal. It’s a name I just called them big “name,” lil “name.”

Cannnnn you use his middle name? 
Lol it’s no different than naming them JR, plus I’d think it would be a really cool coincidence to meet someone with the same name lol, just would have to give one of them a nickname, but the man you’d be calling babe, baby etc:…
My daughter and step daughter both got the same names but I say big and little with there names

Personally I think there is something else that is causing you to feel like this and using the name is easier that looking at the real issue . Got with what your gut is trying to tell you, cause dating someone with the same name as your child, if they were right , would be a non issue

My step mom’s name is the same as mine. It wasn’t too bad growing up that way. But then my sister in law has my same name too. That’s the reason for my whole name as my Facebook name. There are entirely too many Amy’s out there.
That’s kinda a shallow reason. There’s millions of families that the guys in the family have the same name…Sr., Jr’, the third. If he’s a nice guy what does his name matter anyway. Sounds like a lame excuse to me…maybe you’re just not ready to date

My bf has the same name as my brother, first crush, and online friend. It was super weird at first. So I differentiate by calling him the whole name and my brother by the smaller version. Lol
Pretty much the same as naming a kid after their dad…

I almost never call my boyfriend by his name (usually babe) lmao. So I feel like it wouldn’t matter to me personally.
I call my hubby babe hun asshole lol never really use his real name so if it bother u try giving him cute Nike name
Personally I wouldn’t be able to do it, when I talk to someone with the same names as my kids I think of my kids. Even when I’m talking to the people they are named after, my brain goes off on tangents related to my kids. I wouldn’t be able to date someone if I’m thinking of my son or daughters. It would feel icky, but that’s my preference!
Why would it bother you. I dont understand.

I’ve though about this, and I don’t think I could. But that’s me.
I wouldn’t care personally. One of them would go by the full name and one would go by a shortened version or a nickname if the shortened version was dumb lol for example, 2 michaels: one would go by Michael and the other mike

I named my son after my first love that died 9 days before his 18th birthday just 4 months after we graduated high school.
If I were to find love with someone that had his name, I wouldn’t turn it away.
The kid would just become little (whatever the name is)
What difference does it make?
I dated a guy that had the same name as my daughter. It was a little weird at first but it didn’t stop me from dating him

My mother in law married someone named the same as her son… 
It bothered me…
Lol so when you name your son after the father thats OK? You know how many people have the same name lol. When my parents got divorced my dad got with someone who had two boys and they literally all four had same names only different order lol. Two and two had one same name lol.
It’s just a name wow
Would this be an issue if it was his own son and he wanted a junior? If its not then walk away. You’re not that into him and trying to find a reason to leave
My son is the third🤷🏻♀️
As long as it’s not the same last name who cares lol
Is this seriously a question? Such a strange worry.
Me and my step son of seven years , He’s Devan and I’m Devon lol it’s fun for us
Go for it. That’s a silly reason to not date someone

People name their kids after parents all the time so if his name is what’s holding you back, I’d take that as sign not meant to be if can’t get passed the fact he has same name as your son. Not being mean but if something holds you back, there’s always a reason. Or maybe come up with a nickname for the man if the child doesn’t have one. Just an idea. No judgement here, just saying.
I don’t see how or why this is a problem it’s a name, if it’s an issue I am sure you can call him a Nick name or something but that shouldn’t stop you from dating:roll_eyes:
So here is my opinion. It would be weird in the bedroom or when u r telling ur girlfriend about the sexual things (kid and bf name) does. Nobody wants to think about their kid when it comes to their sex life. When u have sons named after their father usually they go by a nickname.
You are actually worried about a name? Sounds petty to me. Get serious, please.
