Namesakes...anyone?

hi jaymezroolz well my name is very common. :) the name of my son is jerome james, and then lately i noticed that 4 of my friends have a son that have also the name james, like justin james. its knda cute since none of us talked about using the name james ;D although their nicknames is all different. :) take care

Back in grade school and high school and college, I don't have a namesake because I have 2 names and my family name is the only one in the entire school except of course I have 3 brothers who are in same school hehehe... My second name is very common but I don't use it even for a nickname. My first name is very common now too. Now I have 12 namesakes when I look it up in friendster. haven't tried searching though in the web.

Oh my... i remember those days when i would always have a classmate with the same name... good thing my surname was quite unique then... and i don't mind if my friends and teachers just call me by my surname... but now that i am married... my surname is very common... so my first name and last name are both very common... and i would sometimes meet a person with the exact first and last name as mine... So to solve this... i always use my maiden name instead...

my name is tareq... i guess you could say i never had the trouble of being mistook for someone else haha

My first of my 3 first names is quite common. So people would call me by my family name just as to distinguish me from my namesakes.

I think I have a problem with my name. I actually don't like it. When I was in High School I used to have the same name with someone but in different class/level. It's okay because we don't get together a lot. In college, I don't remember having the same name with a classmate. But I still don't like it. It is so common and so short. Sometimes I'd rather be called by my family name. =)
