I've witnessed and been the victim of several naming fiascoes brought on by dating and marriage, and I think the world should agree upon the following set of rules:
- Women, don't marry a guy whose last name is the same as your first name. This would've prevented the marriage of my friend Kelly Callahan to her boyfriend Joe Kelly, thus creating Kelly Kelly.
- Women, don't marry a guy whose last name rhymes with your first name, such as Julia Gulia from the Wedding Singer, which didn't end up happening because Adam Sandler saved the day.
- Men and women, don't marry a person whose first name is the same as that of one of your family members, such as my sister marrying a guy named Dave. Otherwise, prepare yourself for an unwelcome nickname, such as "Number 2" or ""Dingus".
