Writer's Block: Same Name
Have you ever met or known someone who has the same name as you (first and last) but is not a relative?
My name -is a pretty common name. It's happened a few times actually. The most memorable was when I was a little kid and the drug store tried to give my mom a prescription for someone for my name that was for birth control pills, but I was only like 5. Most 5 year olds don't need birth control. Turns out I wasn't the only person with my name picking up a prescription from Happy Harry's Drug Store that day.
I've met a lot, a lot of people with my same first name but never anyone my age or near to my age. In fact, the most common reaction I get is that I'm too young for my name. It's kind of an old name and not very common in my generation, although very common a few years ago. Specifically my spelling is considered the "old" spelling. But I'm named after my grandmother and I really love my name. I don't care if I am too young for it!
