(The shadchan also asked if her first name bothers him but I didn’t mention that so that anyone else with that name wouldn’t feel self conscience about it.)
Well, here you never know.
I know someone who, when she dated refused to date men with a certain very common name.
But she had a logical reason for it. Her father passed away fairly young and no one in her family had been able to name a child for him. She *really* wanted to do so, and so she refused to date anyone with the same name as her father.
As she was an older single, I thought she was doing the wrong thing in limiting her dating opportunities. Nonetheless, she managed to find a very nice guy with a different name.
Her father now has a little grandson named after him. This is one of the times that I am very happy to have been shown to be wrong.
