People with STUPID names!
No I'm not talking about Jeighdyn or Breckleton or Gravlax, I'm talking about this guy I've been emailing back and forth with all morning whose name is John Johnson.
Why do people DO that same-first-and-last-name shit? It's fucking stupid and distracting and annoying for the rest of us! Pick different first and last names FFS!!

My husband went to school with a guy named "Tommy Thompson" and DH thought it was the coolest name ever. He wanted to do something similar with one of the boys and I vetoed it as emphatically as possible. He still doesn't get it.
I had a classmate in high school who was Kelly something. Then freshman year her mom remarried and her step dad adopted her and she changed her last name.
You mean like this Phillip Phillips from last season's American Idol?
The kicker is, he's actually Phillip Phillips Jr. (and there's a weird middle name IIRC). That means that his dad thought it was such a nifty name that he passed it on to his kid.
Ooh.. and Lauren Bush marrying Ralph Lauren's kid.
If I heard right, Ralph Lauren legally changed his last name to Lauren, so that's the name she'll get. Lauren Lauren (or more realistically Lauren Bush-Lauren). Ick.
One of the guys on Howard Stern- his name is Richard Christy. Guess what his wife's name is... ? CHRISTY! I'm still trying to find out if she took his name... but I wouldn't doubt it.

I don't think I've known anyone with the same first and last name, but a kid my brother played hockey with had parents who clearly didn't care about the first/last name combo. They named their youngest John Doe.
Not the same, but my cousin was going to marry a guy who had the same first name as her and she was going to change her last name. How the hell would you know who the mail is for if everything was addressed to Casey hislastname?
