Oh hell! That was my advice!

I don't think it's weird at all - no. It's maybe been meant to be.

well i'm called charlie (boy) and there's this othere girl called charlie who's stupidly hot, but i was wondering if i should even bother going for it as she might just find it weird that we have the same name. imagine it "are charlie and charlie coming tonight?"

Wasn't Paris Hilton engaged to a bloke called Paris a few years back?

I don't know any couples who have the same name but I can imagine it happening. My friend got a hair cut though and her ex grew his hair and I've got a photo of them where they're dressed the same and have the same colour, same length hair, it's a bit weird.

Well, my ex got together with a guy with the same name as him a couple of years back (I should probably add at this point that he's bi) and it didn't seem to bother him. But names such as Sam, Alex, Charlie etc. are quite common among both boys and girls so it could happen more often than we might think. Personally I'd find it a bit creepy if I ever met a guy called Helen (and just generally quite strange that someone actually named a boy Helen in the first place) but as it's very unlikely I don't think it's something I have to worry about...

No, it's rare for me to come across anyone with my name, so if it was a bloke it would be weird. But I suppose the equivalent would be a bloke called Luke or Lucius or something, with the same Latin root. I have a friend called David and a friend called Dave and I find that confusing enough because everyone refers to them both as Dave. I don't think they're likely to start a gay relationship any time soon though.

Nah, i don't think it's weird. Just something they'll get sick of people bringing up constantly, as if they've never realised before. Could get confusing too, especially when dealing with businesses.

"Hello, is Alex Ball there please."

"Yes, speaking."

"Erm.. I'm sorry sir, we were expecting a female?"

"Oh, thats my wife, hold on."

I don't know of any "same name" couples but I did know a Kyle and Kylie and a Paul and Paula- it's just a bit weird but you can't help who you fall for! I don't think it would be any more confusing than when people have the same name as their father or mother, which is quite common!

      Scott v Matt and Mollie

      By Jono · Posted

      I think it's great the amount of choice out there right now. I could happily listen to Greg or Jordan in the morning, Going Home or Huw Stephens in the evening, or Scott and Matt and Mollie in afternoons.  Still a few times when I'm channel hopping but maybe that's healthy to check out what's around.  As that research pointed out, Scott is good for minimal distractions. If you want some chaos I dare say it'll be Matt and Mollie offering that.  Plenty of my friends say it's the Radio 1 playlist that puts them off, even if they like the DJs. So Radio 2 is more preferable.

      I quite quickly gave up on Scott’s show on R2 as I realised it wasn’t my kind of vibe. I do listen to the Scott Mills weekly to catch up, because I still think Scott is great, but there is just something missing (for example, he played out some clips recently of the old sleep recording app from the R1 days, and didn’t play ‘go and open the window Garry’ - or if he did, it didn’t make it to the podcast.) I don’t see them changing it now or making it any ‘younger’ than it is.   Matt & Mollie in the afternoon is something that I’m really looking forward to. They are such an interesting and funny listen. It has given me a different dilemma though, as 1pm has been the perfect time for me to catch up on the Capital breakfast show and takes me perfectly to the end of my working day, so now I’ll probably have to forego listening to that and stick with R1 for Matt & Mollie. These shows need podcasts because it’s already giving me fomo.

      Even for the older Radio 1 listeners (of which there are still quite a few) Scott’s show doesn’t feel quite right.  (That’s nothing on Scott who sounds good but more the station sound and content). Since moving to Capital Breakfast I haven’t been listening to much Radio 1.  I always found the shows outside of Breakfast and Drive more wallpaper due to my working day and the show content of RMC and Dean and Vicky so Capital is just background noise to me after enjoying Breakfast.

      I love Scott but if you're a 20 or 30 something that enjoyed his last few years of Radio 1 the Radio 2 show just doesn't translate. Stars from Neighbours or 90s singers just aren't my cup of tea and I can't get enthused about some has been at Radio 2 in the Park or some country music countdown.  Until that changes I will probably more likely listen to Matt and Mollie.  The Steve Wright fans think Radio 2 has turned into Radio 1 but it has a long way to go to win over the older R1 audience.

      Radio 2 brought in Scott to bring the afternoon audience age down, but I feel with Matt and Mollie replacing Dean and Vicky they're going to be competing for a similar audience. Will Scott's show evolve to bring in more listeners or do you think they will be comfortable with the audience they currently have?

      Yes I'm the same with 6Music. Huw Stephens offers something different.

      They are an answer. I do listen to 6 Music quite a bit but kind of feel like it isn’t for me unlike the New Music Fix Daily, Huw Stephens who I’d happily listen to. Think it’s a generational thing and music preference. But it’s like how 1 Xtra cut down Snoochie Shy’s nightly show to just Monday and with Wednesday and Thursday with just playlist programme. I just miss the days of having more choice of that time of night.

      Practically speaking, Riley & Coe on 6Music is the answer to that problem - but I get your overall point.

      Yes and thats the huge selling point after 6pm as always has been in the evening. As when I started listening to radio 1 about eleven twelve years ago its the station that got me into music new and familiar artists and bands. I think the issue with a lot of the new music shows being crammed in length of the shows and not all is live there’s less chance for a presenter to tell you about the band or artist or have the impression of chatting to the listener by reading out texts and emails or including voice notes. I’m really enjoying Jack Saunders’ new music show as thats how you do a show like that on Radio 1 good mix of genres but from 10pm onwards you don’t have the presenter chatting to the listener or that live feel as sometimes you need at that time.

      Given one of yesterday’s ‘bangers’ was Noah Kahan’s Stick Season, I doubt it.

      How has it been working early mornings as a parent, Chris? Is it harder to juggle than the 1-4 slot?

      I still think Dua Lipa could make the line-up. She's in the Live Lounge soon. Would be a scoop if they had two of the key Glastonbury performers.

      Is the three bangers after nine idea meant to compete with Ten Minute Takeover?
