Same First Name

[autjo]

Well I think it is awesome that you will have the same names! Regardless of what either of you go by.

 

I had something simliar happen to one of my girlfriends. No one knew that her first name was Barbara because she goes by Lauren. On her wedding invites she put her full name and her close friends started calling her Barbie (mind you she is gorgeous with flawless skin and used to do beauty pageants). She hated it at first, but now embraces and runs with it from time to time.

 

I hope your FI can be "Barbie-like" and start to have fun with your names )

I know a couple that has the same first name - Cory. We call them Mr. Cory and Mrs. Cory to differentiate. I think its cute!

I agree that the wedding invitations should be formal with First, Middle & Last names. I have to question how he could be angry, did he not see the invitations before they went out?

 

PS. I also know a friend of a friend, who, if she were to marry her long time BF, she would become Leslie Leslie... that's too funny!

YIKES! it is funny, and his buddy's are too silly. It will eventually die down but geesh....Kelly & Kelly could be really confusing sometimes...Why doesn't he get his name legally changed to Devin kelly instead of keeping it Kelly Devin if he always go by Devin anyways...I hear when you get married that is one of the easiest legal outlets to change your name right on the spot....something to think about....

 

smh.
