Same Name 🤔

A bride by the name of Shannon is debating if she should change her last name to her husband's. The problem is that his last name is the same as her first name. If she does the change her name will be Shannon Shannon. What would you do?

    Oh wow! That would be freakish. I honestly don't even know what I would do if that happened to me! I couldn't even imagine. I mean I've heard people with the same name (rare) but it's one of those things that many people don't even really think about until it happens.

    I've seen people do that aha. I wouldn't though just because it sounds a bit odd. My husband's last name rhymes with mine so I didn't hyphen it because of that since it sounded so weird

    I'm not sure, but I'd probably hyphenate it. A vendor at work was Taylor Taylor and it just looked stupid.

    I honestly would! Leaves you with a cool name (in my opinion lol). Other option would be to hyphenate.

    Now I currently have a hyphenate last name (parents never married) & will say I HATE IT. I can't wait to drop my last names and have just one haha.

    I'd keep my original name. It's not like it'd change anything after going through all that hassle!

    Hilarious for TV shows/movies/novels.
    Terrible idea in real life! Think of all the IDs and accounts that would just go to pieces over that! And security issues...

    I know someone named Morgan who just got married a few months ago, and her husband's last name is Morgan. She took his last name, but uses her middle initial as well so that it breaks up the double name!

    I think it would be cool to have the same first and last name.

    I've never met anyone with the same first and last name but I find it so interesting.

    Hyphenating is definitely an option.

    😂 I don't blame you. It would be a little change to have the same first and last name but I also think it's cool.

    Could you explain "It's not like it'd change anything after going through all that hassle!"?
