skippy88 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Would you date someone that had the same last name as you, but not related. Link to post Share on other sites
Eivuwan Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Would you date someone that had the same last name as you, but not related. Lol, why not? Link to post Share on other sites
Under The Radar Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Sure, why not? Though, it's not likely to ever happen considering my last name is uncommon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MrMeh Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 No! Red flag! That girl could be my sister or mother! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
pyramid Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 A friend of mine married someone with the same last name. So handy to get to skip all the name-changing bureaucracy. Link to post Share on other sites
ExpatInItaly Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Yes. Especially considering my last name is very, very common! Link to post Share on other sites
somedude81 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hell no. My last name is Nguyen, and I would never marry somebody with that name. (Note, that's not my last name, but hopefully somebody will get the joke) Link to post Share on other sites
Author skippy88 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hmmm. interesting me and this girl get along great etc. and in talking to her about valentines day and our lack of dates she said "too bad our last names are the same." I used to feel that way but i've gotten to the point where it doesn't bother me, since neither of us know of any of the same people we're related to. The only problem it seems is being in a small town people would talk, and convincing her. Link to post Share on other sites
Eivuwan Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hell no. My last name is Nguyen, and I would never marry somebody with that name. (Note, that's not my last name, but hopefully somebody will get the joke) haha very funny. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Gaeta Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 lol, it actually happened to me. My last name is not common so when I came across this man with my last name, in a city of 4 millions, I asked a few questions, called my dad, and turns out our fathers were cousins! He did not mind, I could not make myself date him, suddenly he was like a cousin. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
kodakgirl Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Sure I would! I would be very amused. Though my last name isn't especially common and I don't know my extended family well so I would double check we weren't like second cousins once removed or something, haha.

Author skippy88 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Unfortunately my last name is extremely common. In the county i live in there are at least two other families with the same last name that i'm not related to. In fact my whole name is so common when i have background checks run mine usually take 3x as long because there's so many people with my same name. Link to post Share on other sites
ChessPieceFace Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Most people of the same nationality are at least 12th cousins, or something like at least 8th or 9th cousins for the same country and nationality. Remember that's "at least." So yeah, no matter what you do, you're dating your cousin. Enjoy. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Emilia Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Of course. One guy had the same surname as mine but in a different language. Link to post Share on other sites
Radu Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I have an uncommon name, so i would check like crazy. Can't marry closer than 3rd cousins here anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
