    we are names here

    dh's first and second names are the reverse of my dad's ... on is aj one is ja. my dh's 2nd middle name happens to be my best friend's name (spelt differnetly). Hi grandfather spent 6 months in my very small, remote hometown during WWII (we are literally classed as a hamlet and not even on most maps!).

    the woman who i pilfered ds's name off had a daughter called sammy. DS best friend since we moved here is Sammy... our 2nd choice boys name was marcus, that is best friend sammy's dad's name.

    i have met two other mother/daughter combos with the same names as me and my mum since being here! we don't have overly common names either!

    a lady at playgroup, on first meeting asked me what my kids' names were. when i told her ds' name, she said it was her first pic for a boys name but her dh wasn't keen. She then said and "Imogen" is my girls pic... which is my daughter's name!

    My DS was due on the 14th dec, arrived on the 18th Dec, which is my parent's annivesrary and his g-g-grandmother's bday! My nephew was due on the same date (but arrived on the 21st just to mess it up lol).

    My husband's po box addresses as a child are the exact same as the first 3 house addresses we had!

    so nothing as great as the OP but a few little things.

    DH and I met online and arranged a date, which I postponed three times the last time because I was moving house. When we finally had our first date we worked out I'd just moved directly across the street from him! And we worked in similar areas in different APS departments (I'd not long started in a new job there) and he knew EVERYONE I worked with. And I sent emails and data to ALL his work colleagues all the time
