There was a criminal on the news the other day named Bobby (short for Robert) Roberts. Unfortunate, indeed!

That reminds me of the Friends episode with Rachel's doctor, Dr. Robert Bobby, and her dad says, "His name is Bobby Bobby??"

I went to school with a Will Williams.

And I've always wanted to name my son Christian but now I can't because my married last name is Christensen. That would be mean.

Do you think his Ray is short for Raymond, too?

haha yeah, I was thinking maybe it wasn't short for anything though, like he could've just been called Ray.

Chances are that he was called Raymond Raymond, though, and shortened his first name to Ray to try to hide it.

There is a psychologist called Erik Erikson

If he's from Scandinavia that makes more sense though. Like, I know that in my own ancestry, Danish surnames were like -if someone's last name is Nielsen, their dad is Niels, so they literally are Niels's son... last names changed every generation. So Erik Erikson would be as common as the amount of people called Erik who name their sons after themselves...(as if they need to, with a last-name system which already names them after their dads)

I went to high school with a John Johnson.

Talk about uncreative parents!

In the same vein...one of the TA's at my college was named John Johns.

That's really uncreative but I think it could have hit him worse. Same for the others. Imagine his parents would have called him "Kodiak Kitch-Kaw-Nee Bly-Was [Raymond]" (I'm not joking, there are parents who actually called their son that!)...! :-/

My aunt married a man named John Michael John. Apparently his parents never wanted children.

We call him Uncle John John. :)
