So true Written by Maryanne (10/12/2005 5:54 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Family names, penned by Cheryl

I used to hate my name when I was a child because no-one in our whole acquaintance had that same name. I've come to accept it now since in an international environment it is pretty well known and nobody asks back What's your name?

Anyway, that's one part, the other one - naming everyone the same - must get pretty confusing. Our son has the same initial as my husband and I find that bad enough.
So, every coin has two sides.
