[name_f]My[/name_f] neighbor is [name_u]Robert[/name_u] E. [name_u]Lee[/name_u], his parents named him that on purpose, definitely not a coincidence :sweat_smile: He’s in his 80s :older_man:t2:

Also, this is reality TV, but a Teen Mom/16 and Pregnant star named her daughter [name_f]Aubree[/name_f] [name_u]Skye[/name_u] and I know a mom who named her daughter [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] [name_u]Skye[/name_u] … I have no idea if she knows how close the names are or not, I’ve never asked :woman_shrugging:t2:

I went to school with a guy that went by [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] last name. We had to have our IDs out for something in high school and we all found out his legal name was [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] last name.

Also, know of [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u], he goes mostly by [name_m]Jim[/name_m] because of that.

What would be funny is if they pronounce it how everyone pronounces it (den-ZELLE) because apparently that’s not how [name_m]Denzel[/name_m] [name_m]Washington[/name_m] pronounces it :sweat_smile: I heard him say on an interview that it’s actually den-zul (slight rhyme to stencil, if the c made a z sound)
