Is it weirder to date someone with the same name or name variant as you, or to serially date different people with the same name?

In Korea the former wouldn't be particularly strange as far as surnames go. Kim is the most common Korean surname, with somewhere around 10 million of the South Korean population of 50.8 million having that name. The next most popular surnames are Lee and Park. Something like 50 percent of Koreans share those three surnames.

!? Not to this one. Not sure it really brings any associations to me at all actually.

Or is it weirder to choose *not* to go out with someone because of their name? Might be thought desperately shallow.

None at all for me.

On similar named couples; friends of mine, now married, both had Janssen (Johnsson) with a double 's' as family name (they were not related, its a rather common name in the Netherlands). Since their marriage they go through life as Janssssen (Johnsssson).

Righty'o. How would you pronounce it? IPA alphabet even maybe please?
The other association I get is "bran" as in all-bran. "Pieces of grain husk separated from flour after milling." So it's saying she's but an empty shell or something?
