names

[unedanseuse24]

In the course of one week I've run across the following names:

Brad Bradley
William Williamson

Really??? Who would give their child these names? And if they're not given names, why would you adopt these names professionally?

I know of a Jon Jonkoski & a Randy Rand, too.

My theory is, these are second children & the parents had been reading to much Dr. Seuss while discussing names.

I know a Thomas Thomas.

Lazy parents?

I definitely knew a William Williamson (or maybe William Williams, even?) when I was a kid. It does seem rather silly and unimaginative.

Oddly enough, this was just in a web comic too.
