It's always a great moment in life when you meet someone with the same name as you. It can be a way of bonding, and even if you're not close, it's always fun to confuse people. Then there's the case of the good friend that has the same first name as you. Now that is always a fun adventure. I now present to you, things that happen when you have a good friend with the same first name as you.
1. If you pronounce your names differently, it's always a slight struggle to explain this to other people. Shoutout to my wrong half, Andrea, and how she pronounces her name.
2. When someone calls out your name, and you both turn around. I swear this happens because I always forget most people don't realize my name is Andrea.
3. Having all the inside jokes relating to your name.
4. Accidentally confusing people when you both have to introduce yourself at the same time, mostly when it comes down to pronunciation as I have noticed.
5. Feeling the exact same struggle when it comes down to finding things with your name on it if your name isn't mad popular. When you do finally find something, you end up buying another one for your same twin.
6. When you reminisce about how you met your name twin, and it all comes down to the fact that you guys share the same first name.
7. They understand the struggles you feel when your name gets pronounced wrong.
8. Making jokes about how you're basically the other person because you share the same name and interests. As someone with a lovely friend that shares the same name as me, I can confirm this does happen.
9. When you explain to other people that you have a friend with the same name, and they just don't get the bond you have and look at you funny when you and your name twin do matching things or are basically the same person.
10. Just having the same name as a good friend in itself is frickin wonderful and fun.
In the end there's just something absolutely awesome about having a good friend that shares the same first name as you. It can lead it hilarious adventures. Honestly having any friends with the same name as you is great, no matter what level of friendship. Bonding through first names is always fun especially when you might not necessarily have the most common name.
