That's stupid - it's not like he calls his mom by her first name (I assume). Although I can imagine his friends teasing him about it.

From a psychological point of view, it could be very uncomfortable for him. Yes, he probably does not call his mother by her first name, but imagine going to a family gathering with him and his aunt saying something like "Sandi (mother), can you pass the peas? So Sandy (you), are you and Richard thinking of having kids anytime soon?" The brain, especially when overthinking, can create some really messed up images. If you have liked him for a long time and didn't know about his mother's name being the same as yours, it's one thing, but it seems that you are more hurt about the rejection. It's a natural part of human nature-to be rejected and to be hurt by rejection. Better luck next time.

The right guy will come along one of these days. Don't worry. :)

My brother and boyfriend have the same name. Works perfectly fine! My family and close friends call my boyfriend by his last name when it gets too complicated. On the other side, when I need them both I only have to say one name ;)

I feel like that's reasonable. Like my dad won't date anyone that has the same name as my sister and me.

My mother has the same name as my crush

i dated a guy who was 7yrs older than me and he dumped me because I reminded him too much of his little sister who was the same age as me, and shared my name. you have to admit that's weird.

that must suuuck

Totally understandable from his part. Ydi

I'm dating a guy with the same name as my father.... It's not too bad
