My brother-in-law has a son, Derek, married to Karen, and a daughter, Karen, married to Derek, not the same thing, I know, but it does get confusing sometimes.

David and Barbara seemed to be a common pairing among our friends.
Also some Mary's and Johns.
DD3 is Elizabeth and SIL is Philip tcrgrintcrgrin

Probably among the most popular names of that era. These days there are so many unusual names that it won't happen very often.

We know several Pams married to Peters, and even more Ann/Annes married to Mike/Michaels.
Anyone else noticed this?
