Would you refuse to date someone based on their first name?

Huh? No. I thought you were going to say the name in question was your siblings name or your abusers name or something. Just a name you don’t like? Not a problem.

Some names are pretty bad. I tend not to like dumb woman names. You know. Stripper names.

I'd have a tough time dating someone with the same name as my ex, but might be able to get over it.

I once had a really smart, really accomplished client whose first name was Bambi. I think when you get to know a person the name ceases to carry that much weight.

It's funny you say that because I went to an international school in Africa and they were a few Americans among us. As easy as you think American names sound we had so much trouble spelling them and found some of the names weird too.

If I ever meet a woman who thinks like this imbecile I hope she tells me this nonsense. I'll dump her as fast as I can. You are truly one idiotic woman.

Hey I know a lot of Mrs butts in the area

I used to work with an accountant named Honey. She was great, but her manager did ask her if he could call her by her middle name.

I know a Nimrod. Hungarian.

My dad and spouse have the same name, it does not bother me.

However, I hate my spouse's last name so I kept my own. But to be honest I would have kept my last name regardless.

I had an abusive ex and would struggle to date someone with his name. PTSD is real.

How did she take it?

My DH was almost named Oliver and I have told him that I would never have dated an Oliver. Especially in his case as he looked like Cousin Oliver when he was little.

I definitely prefer Chinese or Indian or igbo names to American stripper names or American boring suburban white mom names. But maybe that's because I don't really find American stripper or suburban white mom types all that appealing.
