I mix names! Do you?

Since I have only one son, that hasn't been a problem for me. But I do remember my mother calling out my name and my sisters' names before she got to the right one. And I remember my Grandmother doing the same thing.

YES! I'm guilty! I mix my kids all the time. What's so bad is one is a girl. LOL! It makes my husband so mad when I call him my youngest brother's name. I thinks it's funny though. I'm so bad with names!

I'm not too bad about this, but my mother has always had a problem with it. It did not help that she named all of us kids with the same letter either. It never used to fail, she would run through all of the names before she would get the right one. A lot of times if she was going to yell at you for something, I think it almost cheered her up a little bit before she did it. That worked out for the better for us. Now that we are all grown, she calls my niece by my name all of the time. Everyone says she reminds them of me. Maybe that is why she does it.

I do that, too, although I try not to. I think it is a natural thing, especially with parents because we're thinking of our children so much that the first name out of our mouths may not be the right one!

Mixing names? Like Benefer or Bradjolina? How about Tomcat, I thought that's what mixing names was. I don't call my kids by their names, I give them other names like Monkey Head or Pig Head or Ding Dong, they still come to me so apparently they know that I'm just kidding with them.

No,I do not do that but I always give them a cute name as I remember like my Daughter her name is Khadijah so I used to call her "Iyah" and to my wife I never called her with her first name for I always called her "Sweetie"....

Yeah the only person that I have a problem with this with my daughter and my sister! I always refer to my daughter by her aunts name and visa verse and my daughter just laughs and goes mummmmmm I not Kashena not Theresa and then we just laugh about it and I tell them I think I in the first states of losing my mind but apart from those 2 I don't normal have that problem thank heavens.

Hi ronald, I too get names mixed but I agree it could be trouble if I call my wife by another name LOL. It is something that is easily done by anyone, but some of my friends say it's a sign of getting old! Of course I don't believe them and know that they often do the same thing. In addition to my own sons I have three nephews and I'm always getting their names mixed up as well. blessings.

Yes, i do this too. I call my grandsons by each other name, or by another male family members name. A brother or cousin. Ive called my granddaughter by my daughters name. I have even called my granddaughter by my cats name. Its no an age thing cause when my daughter was still at home i called her by my dogs name and called the dog by her name. Lol! I think its just a human thing to do. Maybe we just were thinking how that one we are talking to reminds us of the persons name we say. Unconsious thinking.

yes, i do. my sons laugh at me all the time about it.

Hi ya ronaldinu I do this all the time with my 3 boys, I usually go through all three names until I get the right one. You wanna be careful when it comes to getting your wife's name mixed up as you might find yourself in some pretty hot water my friend!!

I don't have trouble with names just yet, ronaldinu but my mom does. She's called me by my sister's name a lot of times and she's done the same to my sister. Problem is when she tries to have either one of us do something and if she does this, Sister and I would have to clarify who she was really asking. Boyfriend's dad is the same way. I've lost count of the number of times he's called Boyfriend by the names of his two younger brothers. But yes, I see how you could get into trouble when you call your wife by any other name and most especially by her friends' names. Good luck with that, ronaldinu.

I do mix up things quite a bit but not names particularly of family members However if we are talking about extended family members that i see infrequently I donot call them by wrong names but donot remember but i try to admitting that to anyone so try and play along Good Luck

same thing i experiencing that thing mixing up names ...too bad for me sometimes they will say whos' your talking to ;(

I thought my mom was the only one that did this. It was horrible growing up, because me and my sister would joke about getting name cards, . As we got older, she also got us mixed up with our aunts. Now that I'm a mom with two kids, I don't just mix their names up. They come out being combined, their names are Shelby and Tara. So sometimes I catch myself saying Stara, Telby. They think it's funny, and most of the time, they are like get our names right mom. Uh Oh with calling wife by her friends names, but she should understand if your known to do this all time.

I do that sometimes too. I was out with my mom the other day and her fiance's son was with us. I went to say something to him and I called him my son's name and then quickly called him by his name. He just laughed at me. My grandmother calls my son my brother's name all the time. LOL

Mix names, no I don't. You have to know their names to mix them up.I know faces but it takes me a long time to learn names.But I have tried to say one name and I said another.

My mother does. She does with her brothers as well as to her sisters and even to us her children, and I really hate it when she calls me a different name.

Hi ronaldinu! This happens to me also sometimes, but not with my friends name bet between my sisters name and my daughter. I used to call my daughter with my sisters and sister with my daughter name. and my mummy also have the habbit that to call one she calls our three sisters name then only she call for whome she was calling. Keep postiing and have a nice day.

Oh,my goodness. I do this all the time. I call my son by hubby's name and vice versa. I call my daughter by both my sisters' names before I get to her name. I also call my sisters' by the other one's name and by my daughter's name before I get the right name.
