BritChick Paris: I'm 38 and Want a Baby - Is it Too Late?
Ester Bloom: "Men's Fiction" vs. "Mommy Porn"
You'd never think Googling yourself would end in marriage, but that's pretty much what happened to Kelly Hildebrandt and ... Kelly Hildebrandt, a couple who met when one of them searched her own name on Facebook."Girl" Kelly was at home in Coral Springs, Fla., with nothing to do so she decided to search her own name on Facebook and came up with one result -- "Boy" Kelly, who was living in Lubbock, Texas. Girl Kelly liked what she saw and sent him a little message. Boy Kelly also thought she was cute and the two began flirting online.
Boy Kelly eventually flew out to Florida to meet his dream girl. After a few months Boy Kelly asked for a transfer to Coral Springs, and the two will marry a scant eight months after meeting.
Girl Kelly's father is psyched that his daughter will get to carry on the family name. And don't worry -- after extensive research, "The Kellys" are excited to discover that they aren't distantly related. We can't think of anything more romantic than that.

My girlfriend and I have the same first name, though spelled differently (I"m Kevin, she's Kevan) and we partly owe our relationship to having the same name! Best of luck Kelly & Kelly!

This is something totally different. I have two brothers, who started referring to each other as Fred, when they were teenagers. We started calling each one Fred, also. The funny part is, that when you called Fred, the "Fred" that you wanted to call, was the "Fred" that always answered.

I've met someone named David Davidson. I always wonder what his parents were thinking. There was also a teacher at my high school named Harry Richard Weiner, or Harry Dick Weiner. How he managed to make it through his childhood alive is beyond me. :-\

There's a woman who live in the same town as me with the same name and, when I'm called on jury duty, I'm asked if I owe for this and that, and I have to tell them you're talking about the other "Cheryl Cleveland" Never owned a restuarant or anything like that just been working the same job for 24 years!

I sat next to her in high school so it was weird seeing this everywhere, including the Today show. Best wishes to them! While some people think it's weird that a couple shares the same name, my two sisters and I all have the same first name. One of my sisters has the same exact initials as me but we get through it & I'm sure this couple will do the same.

We sold a house to a couple and her married name was Wynter Winters. My grandfather was a professor and kept track of all the silly names. The usual Justin Case, Crystal Ball and Peter Rabbit., but the one that stood out was Female (pronounce like tamale) Johnson. The mother thought the hospital had named her daughter for her.

A friend in high schools parents had the same exact name first, Middle, and last. Her mom changed her last name to match when they got married though. But its still cool to have 2 Terri Lynn Chandlers in the same house.

not exactly the same thing, but my half-sister married a man with the last name Cohen. i am currently engaged to a man with the last name Cohen, unrelated to my sister's husband. i'm a bit curious as to what the last names of our other two sisters' spouses will be..

Hell, when I search my name all I get in the search results are articles of other people with my exact name either getting married or getting an award for something.

my friend's parents worked for the same company and kept getting each others mail. they would end up on the phone arguing about it regularly. finally the dale shepards met and got married. it turned out cute, but they were both kind of stubborn weirdos to start.
