Is it even creepier to date someone with the same last name?

[JohnKleeb]

That would be especially freaky in my case.

[progmom]

1. Oh Kleeby.

Weren't FDR and Eleanor 2nd cousins?

[JohnKleeb]

3. 5th not second

[RevolutionaryActs]

31. Isn't that Poppy and Barb?

:shrug:

[kittenpants]

32. and look how well Jr. turned out.

[RevolutionaryActs]

34. Yup.

:evilgrin:

I don't really think they're 2nd cousins though. They are cousins of some sort though. :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

33. No the Bushes and Pierces aren't related

to the best of my knowledge.

[elshiva]

2. How many Kleebs are there who aren't

related to you? It isn't like "Smith" or "Butler."

[JohnKleeb]

7. I dont know

My family isn't originally Virginian so I dont know, but I think its safe to say if they're west of the mississphi for the most part, they aint related to me. Then again my grandfather's sister did live in LA for many years until she died.

[elshiva]

12. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I have never heard of the name Kleeb until I met you. What is the derivation of "Kleeb?"

[JohnKleeb]

15. German

Yeah its rare.

[elshiva]

22. My name is German, but it is fairly common.

on edit: Actually it's Germanized from the Latvian so my grandparents could fit in with the Germans.

[JohnKleeb]

26. Well this is pure German or at least Swiss-German

Ha if we had an Irish name, my one brother would sound so irish, in fact both would but especially my middle bro.

[PartyPooper]

4. Once, I knew a Penelope Pooper

But, we never dated.

:D

:hi:

[Goathead]

5. Dated a girl with the same birthday as me. Same year even.

I don't know why but it was a little strange. Like we were twins or something. Paging Dr. Freud... paging Dr. Freud...

[Kire]

8. If she had the same exact birthday as your mother...

Only then would Dr. Freud answer your page. (He'd probably come real quick, too).

[AntiCoup2K4]

35. I broke up with the same woman twice on my mom's birthday, 5 years apart.

What would Freud say about that?

[Kire]

36. What happened when you were 5 years old?

Something profound?

[JohnKleeb]

9. That is freaky

same exact age around too.

[nuxvomica]

17. Had you been in the same nursery?

I work with a woman who, we've figured out, was probably in the same hospital nursery at the same time I was. We've never gotten along well.

edit: sp

[JohnKleeb]

20. ha

My best friend growing up was only two weeks to the day older than me but we got along great, now as I grow older, we're growing more different, doesnt help that he moved to Texas when I was 10.

[Goathead]

27. No, but that would be interesting

To get a list of all the people that were in the nursery at the same time you were born. Look them up, go visit them, say "Hey, you probably don't remember me but we used to hang out together when we were kids." Watch them pull the chain across the door as they grab a baseball bat and dial 911...

[Solon]

49. But at least you guys would always remember each other's birthdays!!!

That's a plus.

[Bok_Tukalo]

6. I would be shocked to meet someone with the same last name as mine

It's a bit odd.

[JohnKleeb]

10. Yeah me too.

[Sparkly]

11. I once dated someone with my exact birthday.

To the year. I didn't like him.

(PS -- check your inbox.)

[JohnKleeb]

16. I did and thanks for seeking my advice

[sundog]

13. yes... way more creepier

[kittenpants]

14. I was set up on a date w/ a guy that had my last name.

of course, that discovery ended any possibilities of chemistry

[Tweed]

18. Not if its common, I know two Patels that are getting married

It doesn't seem weird at all.

[JohnKleeb]

21. Patel? Ive never met anyone by that name

Well you know the good thing about meeting someone with the same last name is that they dont have to get new id documenation :).

[Tweed]

23. I'm guessing you've never been around any Indians then

Basically it's the Indian venison of Smith. It means farmer in Indian so you can see how everyone got that name.

[JohnKleeb]

25. Actually I do know some Indians

but Gupta is what I see a lot of. Is that common too?

[BrklynLiberal]

19. Had a friend in highschool whose Mom was named Pearl Pearl.

So obviously she had dated a guy whose last name was the same as her first name.

[SamanthaJones]

24. I went to school with a Robert Roberts

and he ended up marrying a girl named Roberta. No joke!

[warrens]

28. why would you care, as long as she is not your sister?

I actually dated someone with my first name, although a female spelling of it.

[JohnKleeb]

29. I didnt say I would care

I just said I'd be freaked.

[regnaD kciN]

30. It wouldn't be weird if you weren't closely related...

However, if such a couple were seriously considering marriage, I would recommend that one party legally change their name to something else a bit before the wedding, so that it can be listed on the marriage license. Why? Because, if they have kids, odds are that, at one point they will get a school assignment to do a "family tree." If they come up with one where both parents have the same last name, the first assumption will be that they didn't do the homework correctly, because they were supposed to list their mother's maiden name. If they then go on to tell the class that this was her maiden name, they're going to get teased about it for the rest of their time at school.

[jdots]

37. what would suck ..............

you married someone with your last name and she referred to herself as Dorris Kleeb Kleeb.....

[JohnKleeb]

38. What would suck even more is being named Doris

:).

[jdots]

39. right you are

Carlotta Kleeb Kleeb Betty Joe Kleeb Kleeb Yolanda Kleeb Kleeb and Hooters Kleeb Kleeb the search is on .......

[TheModernTerrorist]

40. maybe, but

dating someone whose last first name is an anagram of your last name and RHYMES with it is creepy. For example, my last name is "Hester", a girl I once dated was named "Esther".... when she told me her name, I thought to myself "oh no!!"

[Floogeldy]

41. Creepier than what?

B-)

[JohnKleeb]

44. dating someone with the same name or variation there of

[RevolutionaryActs]

42. Not if you're married to them

:silly:

[JohnKleeb]

43. Smartass

[RevolutionaryActs]

45. Yes, and your point is?

:P

[JohnKleeb]

46. Got a light?

[RevolutionaryActs]

47. Right here. *click*

I can see now! :7

[JohnKleeb]

48. *lights* Thanks

Been a rough night.
