I know I am but...

...there is a woman at work who shares the same name as me and she is a total cow (gossipy, bitchy, drama llama, always in a feud with someone even though it's an office and people should be professional!).

I haaaaate that we share a name. It's not a very common name (she's only the second person I've ever met who shares it) and I feel like she's ruining it!

I know IABU but in my head I've renamed her a new name that I hate and think is much better suited

It's ok, have a good rant here

Nasty woman sharing your name

My dh calls his manager "whasisname". It's done on purpose and it's childish but it makes him feel better because (in my husband's words) he's a jumped up little twit. It makes him feel especially good now everyone else has started calling him it too!

You are definitely NBU. It's YOUR name and nasty people shouldn't have it.

Haha this is the sort of thing I'd get cross about because I'm a bit of a twat

What a cow though, having the same name as you. I'm desperate to know what your name is now!

It's downright unsporting of her. If she wants to be a drama llama she needs to get a stage name asap and stop using yours. Could you work out her pornstar name and use that in your head? I would however be paranoid personally of cocking up and using it in real life - can you imagine :-)

My cousin married a girl with the same name as me, so now she has my full name (she changed her surname on marriage, I didnt). She's a heavy drinker and goes off on huge public Facebook rants. I'm no longer on Facebook so if future employers try to run a search on me, they'll find her and her very public profile...

@BPG20 that's awful! At least my surname is my own!

Thank you all for your very supportive words I especially like the porn star name suggestion!!

There used to be a junior where I worked (same age as me) EXACTLY the same age as me.... he shared my birthday and was creepy as fuck. He asked me out on a date even though he was married and I was engaged! It infuriated me that we shared a birthday. I dont think I'd cope if anyone shared my name... thank GOD its uncommon.

You need to take this to HR so that other staff can be given an official directive to call her by whatever name you have chosen to give her. I am sure they will understand and everyone will comply because she is a cow.

I have a fairly unusual name and find it excruciating when I meet someone who has it too. Although when I was little only animals had it on telly and I found that quite disturbing! That has changed a bit though.

tooold please say your name is Tiddles or Rover

Urgh yes I wouldn't like that.
