First and middle names the same?

[Jennsdiaries]

hello people of mummsnet

is there any reason why i cant give my new baby tha same first and middle names

i got a name i really like and me boyfriend likes it to so we thought wed give it the same for both.

what doyou think is it a good idea or allowed from the law. we were thinking of jenn jenn or maybe jennifer jenn. my name is jenn as well so we know we like it

OMG the 'forign' bit is genius

50 cent?

Jennifer Lopez is 'forign' though - if she were English she would probably be called Jennifer Jones.

Jordan is a stage name - you do realise that dont you?

New York New York would work. Two names, yes, but so good you used them twice.

Oh, and what do you reckon to my farking Psychic powers eh?

I knew OP was a Smith.

Mario, that's the point! She wants to cut out the bother of assuming a stage name by blessing her bubba with one from the off!

I quite like 50 cent, I was thinking of calling ds 75 cents. He's bound to be famous then!

I am laughing out loud at this thread - one two one two LOL.

"You could just do a George Foreman and name all your children the same name - you and your DP could be Jenn I and Jenn II, this baby could be Jenn III. It will go on forever so it doesnt matter how many children you have."

That reminds me of the Monty Python sketch where all the pets are called Eric. They then go on to sing a song called Eric the half a bee.

I would bin the Smith if I were you. Far too ordinary for your tastes I would have thought.

What you need is to have the name of your first pet as the first name and your mother's maiden name as the surname and voila.

I could have a kid called Goldie Garty for instance. Or Geegee for short,

pmsl
this is blardy hilarious...
surely a wind up, no?

A wind up, but a very funny one!!!

"Katie" "Victoria" and "Kerry" - not at all normal, oh no!!!!!

Victoria? That's a Queen's name innit.

I did actually work with a guy who was called something like John Johns. Really. Parents had no imagination. Or hated him. One or the other.

A lot of Welsh names have the same christian name and surname though. I use to work with a Tony Antonio and we used to call him Tony Tony.

I went to school with a Steven Stevens. I'd forgotten that until just now

Catch 22, anyone? Major Major Major Major...

I like the idea of Junior Senior, or the other way round.

Was laughing and DS asked why - he has read the thread and says he likes the idea of Ping Pong Ding Dong :)

you must do this
we need another Neville Neville

Jennifer Jenn

John John

Boutros Boutros Ghali (hang on, that's real. Oh fuck it and lol anyway)

DD's classmate changed his name to Stanley so that he is now Stanley Lee. Maybe you are married wiv im?

This is brilliant! I went to primary school with a John Johnson which I always thought was a bit silly, but Jen Jenn - oh, I'm crying with laughter!!

Thanks for cheering me up, Jenn! I really hope this is a wind-up 'cos go help the poor kind if this is in anyway genuine.

You could always go for a slight variation like, Ding Dong, said in a Terry Thomas accent!

Or maybe Trip Trap is more apt?

Actually, with regards John John- I remember reading a JFK biography and they called their son John John. Well, they didn't actually name him that, they just called him that. Why?

And there are of course:

Robert Robertson
David Davis
Kris Kristofferson....

Oh how the winter nights fly by.
