What influences the order of names in a couple? - Page 3

I think it depends on who you are talking to. I know my friends and family will say my name first. I tend to do the same with them.I think that is pretty much the case on both sides. You tend to say the name of the one you are familar with first, that has been my experience. But when I am talking about us, I always put her name first .

Typically with couples, as Laney said above, I go with the one I've known longer first. With those who I met together, I tend to go with the stronger personality, regardless of gender.

Of course, in any couple I am a part of, my name goes first in my head. Maybe because I've known me longer

My partner and I have the same name so we don't have this problem haha! We just call each other Lisa² so we both get introduced equally. Lol.

Smiles!
