I used to date someone with the same last name as me and we . of dating we decided it'd be fun to tell her we were actually related cousins. I already thought about this, when you get married - no need for name changes.

Best of luck to you both! A freind at work is Chinese and she says in her culture also you should not marry a person with the same last name. She thinks now it's more modern times this is followed less strictly as it's getting impossible to find partners if you have a common last name.
Dating Someone with the SAME LAST NAME ok?
You can be part of that change. Sure, as long as you aren't related.
That is absurd to even think that dating someone with the same last name is bad! Idky, we hmong people are all related anyways LOL!
Dating someone who shares your last name
A lot of hmong people do that now a days haha I hope that helped you. If you're not related and it is just a coincidence that you have the same name what does it matter? Saves money getting your name changed if you ever decide to get married I guess In my hometown, I knew of a "Smith" that married another "Smith".

Congrats on the promotion. Very unlikely that you are related. Don't worry, just go out and have fun. Yeah, my last name isn't super rare, but it's not like Jones or Smith where it's so common that it wouldn't even bother me, you know? Nanette -- I think you're right, I would still like to get to know him. About the family reunion thing though, I told a co-worker about it and then said something smart to bust their chops and the response was "At least I don't date within my family!
Thanks for the congrats!

Cool, I'll just go out and have fun. I wanted to meet someone with similarities, but whoa Nanette -- Oh, no! I thought it was hilarious!! Hey Tonya, great to hear all those exciting things happen to you. To be honest, I don't think you have anything to worry about. If your last name happened to be Lee Korean or Chinese I have heard horror stories from someone I knew who ended up dating his half cousin because his grandfather had secret lovers Lee could be non-Asian as well.
Keith -- Yikes, that's pretty scary! I'm sure I'm safe from that! I even heard a horror story one time where a half brother and sister were dating and didn't know it! The girl's mom had her out of wedlock and the girl didn't know her father, but their father had gotten both their mothers pregnant around the same time, but was forced to have a shotgun wedding with the boy's mom. Gail -- Yup, but is it insane to hyphenate my last name twice or be Tonya R 2? Sounds like it could be a Lifetime movie -- "Forbidden Love: What about my Father?
Goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite!! I say it's up to you, really. I once dated a girl with the same name as my sister and, long story short, it didn't work for me too weird My wife's ex-boss is dating a woman with the exact same name and has been for about 2 years now Chances are, there are another million people in the world with your last name. As one USC professor put it: Give me bokchoy, or Kim Lee Park Choi. The same korean last names are spelled many different ways, for example "Lee" which could be spelled Yi, Yee, Lee, Rhee, or Wee in english.
I know a dating couple that all shares the last name "Kim". If you end up getting married, will you take his name or keep yours and use a hyphen? Smivey -- I probably wouldn't change a thing! Or could I take his middle name, which is his mother's maiden name and what I first assumed was his last name??? Yeah, same first name or first name of a sibling would be weird, too. Stranger things have happened, I guess. Crazy things always seem to happen to me! Not bad things, just stuff that makes for a good story.
I guess I'll chalk this up as another good story! I had a friend female Kelly, who ended up marrying a male Kelly I often teased a gal I used to work with that she needed to marry me -- her name was Barbara so she would be Barbi Q if you don't get it, say it out loud -- we could have a son and name him Ian I. You guys are too funny! In high school, I had a teacher named Mrs.
Bridge who was pregnant. Folks said that if it was a girl she should name her Brooke Lynn. My parents have the same last name, and are most definitely not related I turned out okay In Britain, surnames have been in existence for only about years.

This represents about 25 generations of males, who are the ones that typically carry the surname forward to future generations. So what is the probability that two people having the same surname also share a common ancestor? Turi King, a doctoral researcher at the University of Leicester performed genetic tests on a random sample of pairs of British men who shared the same British surname. The probability of having a common ancestor rises to nearly 50 percent for rare surnames.
The full technical report can be found here. One interesting outcome of the King study is that it validates genetic testing of people with the same surname to determine if they are related.
There is, however, one major caveat. Private genetic testing can help determine if two people with the same surname are related, but most of these tests would require many more markers than are currently used to determine the specific link between two people. In other words, private genetic tests that are popular with some genealogists can be used to determine if two people are related, but they are not accurate enough to determine exactly how two people are related.
