What’s in a name?

Does a name tend to represent a person? I mean, do you find people that share the same name tend to share similar traits and how do you feel about dating someone that has the same name as your most recent ex?

What are you thoughts and experiences with people that share the same name?

If so, purely coincidence.

So Karen’s are not all the same then? 😂

And would you date someone that share the same name as your ex? What are you thoughts with that? My ex doesn’t have a familiar name and anyone I’ve met that share it, I’ve shyed away from.

Yes! Where have you guys been living? It's in the book Freakonomics and there's a proven correlation.

But the explanation is more about the parents choosing the name and then upbringing the child in a certain way. Parents that choose the same name as the same.

Also, and I am not making this up, at university at did some data systems modules and tha lecturer worked for the government and said they collect data on people (e.g how much money they make, which newspaper they read, where the go on vacation, what car they buys etc..) They used to do it on location and the location you were brought up in, but about 25 years ago they changed it to be based on names. They can predict how much money you will make based on your name.

No. Not for me Billie Eilish, Billy Idol, Billy Joel and Billy Ray Cyrus are nothing alike and they have the same names.

They are all famous… so they are driven

I have a angel's name

Lucifer was an Angel 😈

I don't know, I'm a white dude named after black musician. I mean I can sing, no promises anyone is gonna like it, but sing I can.

Idk I find it weirder to try and date someone who has the same name as one of my brothers then dating someone with the same name as an ex. Could never bring myself to do it.

The last 3 guys I dated all started with the letter J and the 3rd one is who I ended up with lol

Yeah that too!! But for me definitely ex’s. Especially the one I was with for 20 years. His name isn’t common in Auss and even less on NZ.

there are names that are stereotyped with certain attributes; a name can give you a lot of information, e.g. social/economic status and background, heritage etc.

The Tracey’s I know are loud, a diamond in the rough, you always hear them above everyone else. Met another when I started my job a few months ago and I Kinda already knew what she’ll be like…. And I was spot on!
