Bride's Name Same as Mother-in-Law's Name

Question

Is it really a problem for a girl to marry a boy whose mother has the same name as the girl? Or can one be lenient? 

Answer

Shalom uVracha,

Our Rav, HaRav Amrom Fried shlit”a, says:

One should be particular about this.

It is possible for one of them to add a name.
