Just a thought that occurred to me. You quite often hear of a son taking their fathers name, maybe not as much as it used to happen but it still happens. I have never heard of a daughter taking the mother's name, does it ever happen?
I was pondering names, as I have done 98% of my time during this pregnancy! The thought occurred to me that I really like my own name and would love to call dd it... if it wasn't already my name! I would never actually give her the same name as me, but I've looked for similar with no joy.
I just wondered if anybody actually did name their daughter after themselves or knows of someone who has the same exact name as their mother?
