Could you date someone who has the same last name as your parents?

[BigRichard]

I was at this party the other day and this fine little hottie was all about the BigRichard. I am thinking about asking her out then she lays it on me that she has the same last name as my parents. Damn, I didn't mind I was maybe going to have to sneak her out of my Aunt and Uncles house but man, I couldn't handle that she had my parents last name. Just a little too weird for me.

Dude - if you wanna bang your mom, just do it. There is a whole genre of porn based around it.

[threebag]

At least she doesn't have the same last name as you so that's a bonus.

I had a girlfriend in Junior High with the same last name. Different spelling.

Just so I understand, did your parents both have the same last name before they were married?

That would explain a lot.

LOL

I don't think my last name is incredibly rare, but I've nonetheless never met a non-relative with my last name, with one exception. Many years ago, I was at a bank and the guy at the next teller window was cashing his paycheck. I glanced over, and he had not only my last name but also my first name. There can't be more than 100 people or so in the country with my combined first name and last name.

Edit: I actually did meet one other guy with my last name a few years ago. But that's it.

Roll tide.

Do you live in West Virginia?

Also, don't you have the same last name as both of your parents? Threads like this make me grateful for having left my home town.

I figured he didn't have a last name. He just went by one name like "Cougar". A few years he can just use a symbol.

Are you sure you're into women?

Are you sure you're into women?

He's sure into making stupid spin off threads...

[Craash]

Party is at the Aunt and Uncle's. Girl has same last name.

So, she is he cousin, or more likely he's trolling.

Next up, he'll talk about being raised by his grandmother's daughter's husband's wife.

It wasn't that stupid.:cuss:

I think a bigger question is could you date someone that has the same first name of your ex.

[loochy]

I used google to help me answer this question.

The answer is absolutely YES

No.

Anyone in the USA who shares my last name is VERY likely to be related to me.

[BigRichard]

No.

That is kinda the joke :D

I was once doing interviews on a research project, talking to various key individuals in a mid-sized city. I noticed that two women on my list had the same last name, which was kind of an unusual name.

I interviewed the first one, and she was a very attractive woman in her mid-thirties, with short black hair and a nice figure. The next day I interviewed the second one, and she was pretty much exactly the same. They weren't twins, but there was such a strong resemblance that I was sure they must be sisters. The second one was perhaps a little more lean in build, but similar hair color, similar facial features, and so on.

But it seemed odd that sisters would have the same last name unless they were both single, and these women did not look like they'd both be single in their mid-thirties.

At some point I asked who else I should be interviewing in the city, and she asked who I'd been talking to. I read her the list, which included the similar woman. She talked business, and then said, "By the way, in case you're wondering, I'm not related to [Person 1]."

I commented that I'd been wondering about that, and she said, "I'm Wife #1 and she's Wife #2. I know we look a lot alike. My ex-husband apparently has a 'type' that he likes."

I didn't delve further, but it made me very curious. If you and your wife get divorced, it seems like you wouldn't necessarily be attracted to a woman who looks uncannily like her. And if you are, is it a coincidence, or is it a warning to the second woman that his attraction may be either physical or some messed-up psychology?
