Multiple Guests with the Same Names

Courtney, on September 14, 2019 at 4:10 PM Posted in Planning 1 20

So I was going our guest list and updating RSVPs and I joked with my FH that we have too many guests with the same names. I'm not talking Sr. and Jrs, so I did a count and this is what we have:


3 Amandas

3 Dan/Daniels

2 Dave/Davids

4 Matts

3 Sams (both male and female)

2 Tims

3 Erics

3 Laura/Laurens

and 2 Deb/Debbies


Thank goodness for last names on the seating chart lol.

    This is why, if FH and I have children, their names are going to be super unusual Smiley laugh

    I have 5 Michaels/Mike's on my guest list. To differentiate I called my FH's cousin bald Mike on the initial guest, my FH now makes fun of me for that. But I couldn't remember bald Mike's last name at the time.

    Right now we aren't finished with our whole guest list but we have 2 Carolyn's, 2 Robert's but one goes by Bob (he's my dad) and the other one is my uncle who goes by Rob or Robby and then 2 helen/helene both pronounced different. We have literally every common name covered in our 60 person guest list from Brian to Amanda to Tammy to Pam to Charlie to bob its kinda funny.

    FH has 4 Johns in his family. And since they’re family they all have the same last name too so that’s gonna make escort cards real fun
