Just curious what you all think. Personally, I could not, as that would be really unsettling for me. I saw a tiktok of someone explaining how she mistook a text she recieved from her brother for her husband instead, and I just don't know how anyone can deal with that lol.

i did. it was weird. never again.
No. I was in a position where I could have gone on a date with a guy who had the same name as my father. Whenever I said his name, it reminded me of my father. No thank you. Too weird and awkward.
NEVER!!
Ewwww. No! I don’t date men who look like my family nor have the same names. I saw on Twitter someone saying only Asian women don’t date other Asians cuz they think they look too much like family, but I’m white and I agree. Sometimes dudes will look EXACTLY like my dad or my uncle or my cousin and it’s a huge turn off! I don’t understand how ANYONE could ever call out a name that has been associated with say their dad/brother/uncle in a sexual way. Makes me want to vomit even thinking about it.
I would probably use a nickname or a middle name. But honestly when I'm in a relationship, I rarely use their names unless I'm annoyed or pissed off lmao. I go between babe/baby/cutesy shit or bro 😂
I couldn't. In hindsight I share a first name with my NVX's little sister... Kind of creepy now that I think about it.
Sure, why not?
I'd never do that honestly. But tbh I wouldn't be attracted to a person with ny brother's name (the chances are highly unlikely)
I have dated guys with the same name as multiple brothers! It was fine for me, though they all had different nicknames used in addition to the same given name, which helped, and is probably how I categorized them differently in my mind so it was not an issue for me. Honestly I would not immediately be reminded of my brother or vice versa when the same name was used. I will say they all had different contact names in my phone though, for the very reason you stated in your post lol. Nicknames and emojis make that easy to differentiate. But I will say if you're uncomfortable with the same name thing and it's not going away, it's perfectly fine to have that boundary and not date that guy. We have enough to worry about already as women without added bonus weirdness about anything extra whenever you refer to or about the guy. We already have to be hypervigilant, you don't have to force or convince yourself to date someone you're uncomfortable with for ANY reason. That includes if their name they go by makes you feel weird.
Yeah, absolutely. I don't actually truck with men anymore, only women, but I'd date a woman with the same name as my sister (if I had a sister). Come to think of it, I actually did briefly date a woman with the same name as my brother (different spelling).
Maybe I'm not as hot as OP, but I've never plunged so deeply into the throes of lust to confuse my partner for a blood relative. Sometimes my mind wonders during sex to other subjects, but not to thoughts about my family -- usually it's what I feel like eating or my to-do list.
No. And my brothers have birth names that are nicknames (think, Tom/Thomas) so ANY variation is a no go! 😅
Damn, I had crush on two men who had the same name as my brother. It never felt like they shared names for some reason, I don't know why. 😁
Nah. I always think: “if I can’t moan his name it’s a no.”
