Same-Name Couple Facing Challenges

What if you fell in love with someone who has the same name you do?

It happened to one young couple who met on the social networking site Facebook.

They both share the name Kelly Hildebrandt.

They met when female Hildebrandt, of Coral Springs, Fla., was bored one evening and looked up her own name on Facebook. She discovered only one other Kelly Hildebrandt, and wrote to him in Lubbock, Texas, about the coincidence, she explained on "The early Show" Wednesday.

The female Kelly said, "I wanted to tell him there were two of us."

Their relationship grew from that short message.

But as the friendship grew, there were some concerns, such as if they were related.

Those concerns proved unfounded: The male Kelly said the pair did some family research and learned they weren't related. "But a friendship had built," he said, "and just carried on from there."

The couple is now engaged.

But their storybook Facebook romance isn't without some same-name quirks.

The female Kelly told "Early Show" co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez when the male Kelly booked a business cruise, the cruise company thought he had entered the same information twice and almost cancelled one of the tickets. She said, "He had to call and explain, two people, one name."

The couple has also had to make adjustments in the house.

The male Kelly said he calls her "Kelly girl" or "Baby Doll" to help avoid any name confusion.

Their family and friends also uses aids, such as nicknames and the Kellys' tones of voice, to know which Kelly they're addressing.

But what about carrying the name on to the next generation?

The couple told Rodriguez they want to have kids, but none will be named Kelly.
