Question
I am a young divorced woman,
and sometimes I am suggested potential matches where the boy’s mother has the same name as I do,
or the opposite, where the boy’s name is the same as my father’s name.
Is it permissible to be lenient about this?

Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
One should be strict about this.
However, if either of the parties has an additional name, it is permitted.
