Would you date someone who has the same first name as your own?

Did.

No.  I'm straight.

There are not alotta women named Barack Hussein out there.

Yup! :)

;)

So am I. My name is not gender specific.

:)

I've never met another male named Nevan, let alone a female. I think I'd be so interested in the fact that they had the same uncommon name as me that I wouldn't mind. 

Yes, we could always differ our call/short names, or make use of pet names. It's not her name that will decide if I like her or not. :-)

Sure.

We'd stick to each other like bread and butter and be forever known as the Semper Fi couple.

Thriftymaid, I wasn't really thinking of same-sex relationships when I posted this question, I posted it to get my digs in at the modern trend for girls having boys' names (or vice versa). Couldn't you guess that from my other question with two Morgans in it? Lol:)

Mine is.

Yes.  But my name is gender specific.  No male has my name even if he did it would be so horrible I wouldn't date him.

Now you are being sensible, Thriftymaid. I'm not going to ask you what your actual name is, but how is your name being given to a man different from a man's name being given to a woman?

Just trust me; there is no man with my name.  It is female.  Period. 

I believe you, Thriftymaid, it's just that, well, let's face it, in this day and age names do seem to be given to babies willy-nilly without any thought for the possible consequences. Maybe your name hasn't been used for boys yet, but the way I see it right now it is only a matter of time before it is. Lol:)
