I'm talking to a John Johnson right now. I'm tempted to ask what his middle name is

I've met enough people named William "please, call me Bill" Willaims or Jonathan Johnson to assume that this is a popular thing that stupid people do to their kids.

I actually have what is close to one of these names. Usually it garners you an odd look along with 'Wow, your parents really hated you huh?'

I'm guessing you have a first name that is identical (or near-identical) to your last, like Stephen Stephens, William Williams, or Duran Duran.

As soon as I noticed the pattern, I used the ignore feature. I don't see the humor, I guess. It's obnoxious.

Content: My 10th grade history teacher was named Anne Merriken. So when I got my schedule, it said my American history teacher was A. Merriken. I thought it was a joke until I met her, but no, it's her real, married name.

One of my college friends has a Facebook friend named Trevis, and we've gotten into it a few times on different topics. He's very sensitive about his name.

It sounds like one of those obnoxious names that Hollywood press might call a couple. Trevor and Travis, I guess.

Pretty much yeah. Slight variation, so it's more like Thomasina Thompson, but close.

I want to leave my mind blank, but I'm terrified of what will happen if I do
Apparently the mayor of Philadelphia is a real Nutter.

While traveling recently, I ran into a woman who had twin daughters named "Uya" (no idea on the spelling) and "Blue". When I inquired (as politely as I could), she said that in utero, they didn't like the names "Fetus A" and "Fetus B" or whatever, so they called them "Apple" and "Blue", but they didn't want to keep the name "Apple" because Gwyneth Paltrow already used it, and "Uya" was a grandmother's name (whose middle name was apparently "Apple"), so they used that. It didn't feel proper to inquire any further, and I had to deal with my own child by that point.

As a kid, I had a dance teacher with the surname Blood. She was a really sweet, demure woman. When she got married (to a man with a really ordinary surname), she chose to keep her own surname. I was thrilled.
