I went out with a Rachel last night, so this was very timely.
Was it as awkward as this?
I went out, sort of, with another person with the same name as me. Saying hey, Alex is a bit weird to me as I am used to people saying it to me.

My partner: Kira; my friends’ partner: Ciara; my other friend (who put this comic in our group chat)’s partner: Ceara
