You'd think that after all the feminist movements and more and more women not taking their husbands names, that this would also follow suit? Do women just hate the idea of living with another woman with the same name? What gives?

I've never known any female that was named after her mom.

Just what I need, two women not responding when I ask for a sandwich.

It is improper for females to have "Jr." and "Sr." on their names. Both are considered to be masculine suffixes.

A woman named after her mother is called a "Second" (and you spell it out) or "The Younger" or simply uses the same name.

It is suggested that a female child have a different middle name than the mother to avoid this issue.

Who would name their daughter the same as the mother. Just dumb. i can't see naming a boy the same as his dad also but that's me.

Get this: A corn-fed harvest mouse, a hooker, a nun, a Flemish peasant woman, whips, chains, whistles yo-yo's, a circus midget. My grandmother riding by on a bicycle give me the finger, and a duck!

It was actually common in the 18th and 19th century. You occasionally still see it, but it's not customary any more.

Jockey Rosemary Homeister is one who uses Jr in her name. LINK

Bc once they get married and their last name changes, it will make no sense what so ever

It drives me crazy when athletes put Jr. or Sr. or III on their jerseys. That's not part of your last name.

There's a rule that says only your last name can be on a jersey? You can put whatever the hell you want on there.

women don't feel the name to name kids after themselves, or carry on that tradition thru umpteen generations.

Except for Big Nancy and Little Nancy.
