I know someone who has the same name as her mother, and her grandmother. They all lived in the same household. Imagine, you call her name and all three of them listen.

I never understood this practice in general, regardless of gender. There are so many possibilities, sure it takes some creativity, but it’s not that hard, come on.

This got me thinking about how there is no female equivalent of junior or senior

I believe every woman is named after their mother. Usually by about 20 years or so.

My mother, grandmother and great grandmother all have same name, but used different short forms to differentiate.

You’ve obviously haven’t met every woman.

obviously no one in your family is named Elizabeth

My partner has the same name as her mother.

Do middle names count?

Becauae I think all Swedish women have the middle name Anna.

I agree with all the sentiments in this thread about giving a kid their own identity and would never name my kid with my name even tho it could go to either sex depending on spelling. However the exception I would have to this sentiment is when someone names their kid after a deceased loved one. Usually would be the soon to be born kid’s grandparent or great grandparents. So like if someone is best friends with their dad and their dad passes before their grandchild is born the person will name their kid after their late father. I dont think I know any specific person who did this with the first name, but I have seen it a ton with a person’s middle name. I think its sweet and is a nice story to tell a child.

My fiance has the same name AND same birthdate as her mom. Has really fucked her up, we had like 10 extra calls essentially calling her the wrong person and asking about her property when we were buying our home.

We get her fucking mail all the time. Like literally same name and dob make life pretty fucking annoying, just pure stupid.

My mother has the same first name as her mother. I don’t at all understand why, she has always just been called by her second name.

Would you call them junior?

Me wife is a woman with her mother’s first name as her middle name.

And of course my father in law is a fourth generation jr

Do middle names count? My grandmother’s first name became my mother’s middle name. Then my sister and her daughter also got that middle name.

Tell me you don’t live in a Hispanic Country without telling me you don’t live in a Hispanic Country.
