12 Times Life Gets Weird When You Have A Friend With The Same Name

While it isn’t easy carving your own identity among a herd of people, having someone who shares the same name with you makes things a little more weird. Sigh, as if life wasn’t weird enough already. Not to mention, the closer your friendship, the worse you have it.

Here are a few things you experience when you have a friend with the same name.

1. It goes without saying that when someone calls out your name, you and your namesake turn around
