How many people did you go to school with had the same first name as your parents?

General Name Discussion
1

1 of each

2

None, but I’ve met a couple of guys with my dad’s name that were around my age after leaving school.

3

0 for my mum’s name, [name_f]Christine[/name_f].
So many I’d hazard a guess at 8 for my dad’s name, [name_m]Andrew[/name_m]!

4

[name_m]Zero[/name_m] for my mum’s name (not sharing for privacy but it was incredibly popular for a small window of time and has since died a death); a couple (maybe three?) for my dad’s name - it’s an unusual biblical name, but I went to a religious school

5

I think 4 with my mom’s (but none that spelt lit like hers) and probably a ton with my dad’s, but I only remember 5 of them. They’re named [name_f]Alison[/name_f] (not spelt this way) and [name_u]Michael[/name_u].

6

my dads name is [name_m]Jim[/name_m], so about 500,000 and but none with my moms name

None for either! [name_f]My[/name_f] mom has a very popular name for babies born in the 60’s but it hasn’t come up much since [name_f]Gen[/name_f] X. I heard of maybe one. Absolutely none for my dad! His name is very much part of his time, but also not even common for that time, so I would be really surprised to find one my age

8

none for either!

9

None for either!

[name_f]My[/name_f] parents both have the most popular name for their birth year. [name_f]My[/name_f] mother’s name is very dated to the seventies, and my father’s name is less popular now but still a common biblical classic.

10

one at each school for dad, so 3
0 for mom

11

one for my mum, but the girl i met spells her name tara, and my mum spells it differently. none for my dad—his name is very german and nearly unheard of in the states!

zero!

13

None for either!

14

None and none!

One peaked before my parent was born then dated very quickly.

One was never particularly popular but has a particular vibe that didn’t at all match my school. Plus it dated quite rapidly too.

Interesting question!

None for both, my dad is 0mar and my mom is @ime, common names for both their age groups and our ethnicity but I didn’t grow up with people of the same race as me and they’re obviously not the same age as my parents

none!

[name_f]My[/name_f] dad is Th0m@s, and my mom’s a very seventies name for her particular demographic.

17

1 for my dad’s name- Jeff/Jeffrey

none for my mom’s name- [name_u]Robin[/name_u]

18

None. Some other kids my age had moms with my mom’s name, but I’ve never met anyone else with my dad’s name.

19

none for my mum’s name (which is rare anyway, i’ve never met another) but five with my dad’s name (not a surprise, it’s michael)

none. literally none. my parents have the most millennial names in all of history
