Who is the most relevant person in your life who has the same first name as you?

There childhood friends

There was one other girl at school with my name. I've never met another since which is odd because it's not an unusual name at all

My name was a very popular name at the time I was born.
In my Reception class, there were 5 of us with the same name 🫠 So throughout my time at school in a small town, we were all known as “Firstname + Lastname initial” - literally up until high school finished and we all went our separate ways 😂

My at school best mate has a daughter called Kristy. Ages about 30.

In 50yo I’ve met 2 people with my first name, one absolutely hated me, cant deny the feeling wasn’t mutual and the other I really disliked I found her rude and arrogant.

My Aunt.
My friend.
It’s a classic name that was quite popular in the 70’s.
But I love it.

I have no one in my life who has my first name.

I've only ever met two people with my name in my life.

SIL has the same first name as me and since she married my brother she also has my original surname.

My Aunt, also my god mother. Honestly though I don't like her much, she seems to feel as if she is some kind of competition with me and is always making nasty little comments to or about me. I avoid her.

The only one I know is my DD's MIL. She uses a shortened version whereas I don't so there's never any confusion

I have only ever met one person with my name and she came to find me at a uni open day she was so excited! She’d never met anyone else with that name either!

she was Rumanian - apparently it is (slightly) more common over there.

never met anyone else with my name although I believe there are a couple of others in the uk

My godmother. But she's not really in my life as she lives in a different country and I haven't had direct contact with her much as an adult.

I’ve met 3 people with my first name in my life. One born on the same day in the same hospital (because her mum liked the name my mum had given me, so gave it her daughter too), I did meet her many years later, one I worked with sometimes and one in a train station bar where I was waiting for some family members and a man was harassing a very young woman because he claimed she couldn’t have that name as only his (alleged) ex had it - I put paid to that conversation.

A relatively distant friend of a friend.
lots of people with my long name though - but my actual shortening is relatively unusual now.

The occasional client at work, and someone who bought something from me off marketplace the other day. Odd because it was a fairly popular name when I was born and I'm only middle-aged. Don’t know where they’ve all gone!

No one but my middle name was for both of my grandmother's, and they were a hugely important part of my life.

Probably a newsreader.

I have a moderately unusual first name and pretty unusual middle name spelt the even more unusual way.

There is someone who lives in the next village over who has the same two names but reversed. Not sure that makes her notable though!

I've met very few. There is a variant with one letter different though and I've come across a fair few of those, including my MIL. One of the reasons that I didn't take DH's name 😃

I only know 2 people with the same name as me. My primary school teacher and a very famous children's book author.

A bloke at work and one of DH’s childhood friends. Haven’t met another woman with in since I was in sixth form.

No one really. My name is Welsh by very uncommon these days.

My godmother. In the same significance bracket as my parents and sister. I have spent a week's holiday with her the last two years and it was absolutely brilliant. She's 20 years older than me and it really doesn't matter.

My best friend of the past 39 years - we were school mums, both with two boys of the same ages.

The HR lady at work.
