Some of my friends think it's odd to be dating a gentleman with the sane name as my late husband. I'll admit it's a little odd, but though they are/were both named Stephen, the new gentlemen prefers Steve, where I preferred calling LH by his given name.
Would that cause any of you pause? No, I don't confuse the two, and I'm not replacing.

My bf's name is the same as the man who my mother left me and my father for...so...lol....
His name and my late husband are similar in that it's the same vowel sound (My husband was Lyn, and my bf is Gil) and I will, at times, stumble over the name or call him Lyn rather than Gil.
They're their own person and just because the name is the same has nothing to do with who he is. Enjoy him and the relationship.

~~OP~~ I suppose that I can understand your friends' points of view.
There were a couple of gentlemen on this site whom showed an interest in dating but I was reluctant to become too close to them since their Christian name was the same as my late husbands'. It just felt "uncomfortable" to me -- and I suppose their are some whom can understand my personal feelings in this regard and some whom can't ... but ultimately, it is myself whom has to be content.

Thank you all for the input, turns out that we could carry on a conversation via text, but in person... Something just didn't mesh. Hours of little conversation doesn't make for a substantial relationship.
I'm thankful I've kept my options open and realized conversation is highly important. I guess being a widow, I find small things so very much more important.
Good luck!!
