I have an ex with the same name as one of my sisters. You do that once, and it gets confusing and awkward. Twice? People start coming to really odd conclusions.

My brother's last three serious relationships all have hadthe same name. It's not his fault that name was popular 3 years after he was born. The girls are nothing alike.

That said it's a struggle not to call the current one New "Sarah"

Kinda sucks, because I occasionally come across really women I would otherwise pursue for a relationship. But then they have the same name as my sister or my mom - NOPE.

What's wrong with names? What if it's a different name but the looks are exactly the same?
