Saying the wrong name

[Kol]

How many of you have ever called your gf/bf by the wrong name before?

Yesterday I called my wife Amanda by the wrong name. I called her my sister's name instead of her own. They're both named Amanda, and I don't think she caught it but I said "Amanda K" instead of "Amanda J". She was making something to eat in the kitchen and I don't think she heard me, as I said, but...still I felt bad.

I bet a lot worse things have happened than to me yesterday.

No doubt Freud would have a field day.

.. why not just leave it at Amanda unless there both in the same place.. that or nicknames.

personally, I call people the wrong names all the time it runs in the family. I've called my GF by the names of sisters, friends and a cousin once.

I called my boyfriend Derek once. I was mortified. Because never have I EVER compared him to my brother Derek, and it was very insulting that I had called him that considering my brother.

I cal my boyfriend by my brother's name all the time. My brother's name is Dustin, as is my boyfriend's.

I have called my cat by my Bf's name. Yes, it's odd. I have called my BF by my sisters' names. I have called my sisters by my Bf's name and I always mix up my sisters' names. My mother has to call me by each of my sisters' names before she gets to mine since I'm the youngest; so it's Jeneilechrissiesie...brianna. My sisters do that too. I also mix up my nephews' names.

I have no idea why I do this so much but it's certainly very innocent. I actually talked to him about it, just so that he'd know I do this often. He's cool. Never called him a name that wasn't my nephews or sister or something like that.

I once called up my friend and someone in her family picked up the phone. Then I said "May I talk to <my own name>" - instead of her name.

I mix up names similarly. It's just easier to say "hey you!"

lol wow I called my GF my sister's name once and thought it was very weird glad to see im not alone

 

[Sketcher]

Well, at least you didn't call her by an exes' name.

And she posts here man, she's going to find out.

 

[Kol]

Yeah, I told her yesterday after work. She didn't get mad. I told her one day I ought to call her a guy's name when we're in bed or something, that would really freak her out.

I'm sure I've mistakenly called one of my ex's by the one before's name because all my ex's had S as the first letter of their names! That's different now. I got out of the "S' world!

 

[SaintInChicago]

I do that too. Sometimes I call my sister my girlfriend's name and sometimes vice a versa.

Well. . . it's not that big of a deal. . . Now if you were to do that while we were in bed I would be furious with you. Other than that I think I am pretty ok. . . It was an accident. you didn't mean to.

I call people the wrong name, but more often than not I get called the wrong name or receive someone else's message by "accident".

 

[8462]

I know the feeling. . . my mom likes to call me the wrong name and my grandmother messes my name up too sometimes. . . I usually get called one of my sisters names....

 

[homeofmew]

I do this all the time

[xcandiedkiss]
