The Name Game


A Tale of Two Kellys
Man and woman with same name met through Facebook, getting married
By ADAM KUPERSTEIN and BRIAN HAMACHER/NBC Miami

It's been a whirlwind romance for the guy and gal who share the same name, and it all started with an innocent Facebook message.

"She started off 'Hey, I saw we have the same name,and I thought it was kind of cool, Just wanted to say hi I guess. LOL,'" the male Kelly said.

Kelly the female, from Coral Springs, was curious to see profiles of people with the same name when she happened across Kelly the male in Lubbock, Texas.

"I searched my own name and he's the only one who came up and actually in the picture he didn't have a shirt on and I was like oh he's cute," said the female Kelly.

Three weeks later, male kelly flew to South Florida to meet female Kelly, and they hit it off immediately.

And now in just three months, the Hildebrandts will officially be married.

Male Kelly, 24, has moved down to Florida and plans on working at the new branch for his company, Primerica Financial. Female Kelly is finishing up her studies at Palm Beach Community College.

The marriage won't be without problems. In fact, one problem has already presented itself before the two have even stepped foot on the altar.

"He's even already got some mail coming in, and we have to open everything, because we don't know whose mail is whose," said female Kelly.

I cannot begin to say how cool I think this story is and its for completely different reasons than anyone else. Do you realize how conveinient its going to be not having to change names on documents, IDs and all other crap. Plus when one of them wants a Netflix account they only need to put it in one person's name but they can both control it. The benefits will outweigh the negatives.

The only hassle will come if things hit the skids. They could totally screw each other over in a seperation way worse than a two-name couple. I'm interested to se how it all plays out. I'm going to Facebook friend them and see if they'll give me periodic updates. No details spared. Is that something you all would be interested in? Vote 'Made Me Think' for yes and 'Pure Douchebaggery' for no.
