But this thread doesn’t belong in CS, because the only reason I mention them is… heh. Someone named Taylor is dating someone else named Taylor. Weird. ---

I know a married couple named Carlo and Carla. Not quite as awkward, since at least their names are just different enough to keep them from getting confused about which one you’re speaking to, but still amusing nonetheless. ---

I had a brief interest in a young lady who happened to have both my middle and last names, only reversed. That was a bit weird. ---

In college my brother dated someone with our same last name. The weird thing was that our last name is just unusual enough - and they met in SC but were both from MA and actually knew a lot of the same people because they had both attended the same church at one time. And no, we double checked, they were not related. Of course, one of my former co-workers DID marry someone with her same last name. But she wanted to acknowledge they were married - so now she’s T. Williams-Williams. ---
