| Ali | Hell yes! And I'll even give you his name...It's Craig. And I wince(on the inside) even when people say "Greg" because it sounds similiar. I get so annoyed with myself when I do that... |
| Just Some Girl | No. But each time I see someone with a similar appearance, I get what feels like an electric current through the heart. |
| Kendra143 | Awh, Ali! That's so sad, and just a little funny, which makes it worse. I know how you feel! The guy for me, he hurt me so many times...and I kept getting drawn in. He has one of the most popular guy names around, and whenever I hear it I imagine him...and I've strained my neck and followed people around more than once, thinking/hoping it was him. Worst of all, we still share aquaintances, and I hear about his comings and goings and it rips me apart. And my new guy knows. |
| sweetness | Rob. It's the name of both my ex-husband, and the married man I recently broke up with. It's gotten so if I meet a man and he says his name is Rob, I say, forget it right then and there! I will not be "Robbed" of my heart again! |
| Echolocation | No. However, a friend of mine has developed a theory, based on her own past experience, that one should never date a man whose name is a verb (e.g., Pat, Rob, Bill). I believe "Greg" was recently made an "honorary verb." |
| Ophelia | A German man I used to work with at a restaurant, I married him to get him his green card. I didn't really know about his past, and what he was really capable of until it was too late. Fortunately I don't hear the name Marek too often, but even as I type this I feel the most awful sadness and disappointment and for how much of myself I have given away to evil men and women and can never recover. |
| B.K. | Nope, just forgive and go on, don't look back and take everyone as individuals that they are. It's too much baggage to remember pain and suffering of any kind. ha Besides I'm saving it all for the book where they will be roasted with glee and new names.ha |
| CAgirl | Nope - well, there is the first guy who broke my heart, but his name is the same as my dad's, so there's no charge there. But once (several years later) I thought I saw him at a store and my heart started beating so fast I thought it was going to explode! |
| Misti | The name Jay sucks for me. I knew a kid named Jay when I was four. He lived next door. He was weird. He was always bullying me. Then there was Chef Jay. I've written many bitter poems about Chef Jay. Then there was Co-Worker Jay. Star photographer. What a jerk. Extremely anal retentive and rude. So if I meet someone named Jay I have to wonder about the guy. Nothing good can come from a name like that. Oh! But my cousin Karen's high school boyfriend was named Jay and he was cool. He cracked me up. He had a twin named Dee. They were hilarious. So I've known one cool guy named Jay. |
| galadrial | OH YEAH...creepy, psycho little shit...and i will take his name to my grave...he doesn't deserve to be named... |
| Me aka Niki | There's this one name that broke my heart over and over I used to hate that name and then new year I kissed a guy withthe same name!! ironic but it lasted for a month..pretty long for my standards..and it was good...He ended it yesterday (he just can't commit) with both of us crying..But I have a new special friend... |
| BlueDenim | Yep, he was a charmer, and a crazy man now I hate the name Jim/James... I had a conversation with a friend one night about baby names, and she said she liked the name James, but quickly added she could see why I'd never name my child that. |
| TJ Holland | YES! YES! YES! Oh, the PAIN! His name is Sean and I've NEVER been devastated by anyone the way I've been devastated by him! To the point of wondering if I'll EVER trust again! And I DID meet another Sean. He saw me wince when he told me his name and figured out why real fast. I laughed about it, but still haven't been able to get over the name thang. |
| Kirk | Rebekah I suppose. One of the scars is that, since she tended to become very unresponsive to emails and the like when our relationship was on the low part of its cycle, I get kind of jumpy to this day if someone doesn't respond to e-mail. |
| Hopeful | Argh!!! Right now...I definitely know that feeling!!! And I never even knew how many David's were out there. This is a first for me... |
| kevin urenda | since Kendra mentioned it... the name is Deborah and all its variants (cringe). |
| Chantal | Yes, the name Jeff actually scares me so much that I can never be friends with a guy that has the same name. It sends shivers up my spine and makes my tummy feel sick!!! |
| jackryhme | hmm... lee... who was korean, stole my life for a time as well as my mind, my heart was incidental to this mina... from Mexico... took from me my innocence at a ripe old age of twelve ... she was seventeen dallas ... blackfoot indian... still my first truest love, sank six inches of blade into her lovers back.. tammy... played me against my brother, whilst still in love with me i think... diane.. of the Philippians... had something to show me ... after more than a year of being away.. i ran as fast as i could the other way.. the first moment i got the chance beth.. at a time when i was new to love... her family came in the way not so much caring for my trailer trash ways... to name a few ... so very few of all of them and of each a wince and remembrance jackryhme, it dosent matter, another, lost4me, greysky,beforedawn, nothing, bacardi, blue song and probably a few i have forgotten, sorry but i seem to be a fractured mess... lol ... anyways, cheers to life, it can be for more than it seems... |
