Same name

Re: Same name

^Guys it’s not only the girl who can’t overlook the name. The guy himself ALSO can’t look past it. Op had said they both find it weird. So…hypothetically…if her parents do ask about younger brother…it would be hypocritical of him to think/say that “You rejected my brother cuz of his name, so you can reject me too for some seeming trivial reason”…because his older brother is also “guilty” of doing the same thing.

I understand that the proposition this girl’s family is contemplating still carries potential for awkwardness…but the above argument would lose some validity since older bro can’t get past it either. Plus, OP said that nobody except the parents think it’s not a big deal. This would imply that younger brother might also find the “same name” thing to be something that can’t be dismissed.

Thanks all for your input.

The name thing is troubling to them both. !

And…

@ruby17

I doubt it. Neithe rof them are willing to change their name. And from what I see of them they aren’t the type that would like being called Abu X and Umme X. Anyway both are uncomfrtable about the name thing (not just the girl). It’s only parents that think it might be ok.
