anybody got a dc with a very similar (or even the same) name as themselves?

[janebirkinesque]

Ie an Alice with a daughter called Alicia?
Or an Isabel with an Isabella?
Or Louise with a Louisa?
Or Susanne with a Susannah?

Just wondered if it a) sounds a bit vain, as if you're really naming them after yourself b) it gets really confusing when other people calls your name and you both respond.

Very common round here. I grew up in the same road as John and Young John, Yvonne and Young Yvonne, Bob and Bobby....

I knew a family who did this intentionally. Mother and Father - Andi and Isobel with children Angus and Iris.

I know a few...

X-Anne and Annie
Katherine and a Kate
Louise and Eloise

But I didn't spot the similarities in any of those names for ages. I don't think it is problematic.
