Maybe it's just me, but I've always had a little problem with dating someone with a name that I have already put on my 'love to hate' list.

For instance my ex father is Stuart. I did date a tall dark handsome guy unfortunately named Stuart some years ago. Just couldn't get my head around the name though. It didn't last.

Obviously other ex's names are now on my 'love to hate' list. ie: Ben(wilhelmus) and Andrew.


Do any of you have a problem with dating the ex's namesake....or is it just me ???laugh

Yep know exactly where your coming from Abes, and even tho it seems shallow it just depends on wat you went thru with that person eg: if it was a volatile relationship you tend to associate the name with the experience you had with that person and sad but true we are all guilty of doing that, my ex's name was Rainton, so no chance of ever meeting another one with his name thumbs up

Yeh there are 2 names I can't stand. If I was to date a man with either those names, I don't think it would last. laugh

Not shallow at all - my ex's name is Clive and, if I ever meet another Clive I'll run a mile. On the flip side. I had a big crush on a neighbour named Pete, so any guy I meet named Pete has a head startlaugh

Thanks Phoenix. I know it is easy for some people, and good luck to them. I'm just not one of those people, I guess roll eyes
