Tell me I'm not the only one

My parents did it all the time. Dad has trouble now as my DH is Tony and my sisters DH is Toby. There were a lot of confused people at my poor sisters wedding when Dad kept getting the name wrong in his speech Some of BIL's friends thought dad was mixing BIL up with one of my sisters ex's, had to quickly explain that his Son IL's names were very similar

My MIL always does this. And we always bag her out...hehehe
know however that i have 2 children..... i find myself doing it LOL

[~Trish~]

Yep, I am known to use every other name first (including the dog's) before I hit the right one...

[Beach Mama]

I do it too, but I do with DH and DS I yelled out to DS the other day but was calling DH's name and they were both looking at me confused!!! My MIL still does it too with DH and BIL lives OS so it's not like she talks to him all the time or anything!

My mum has four kids...Im not sure how often I have ever been called my right name first time!!!!
We all just answer to whatever name she calls us these days....especially when we are the only one with her...funny my dad never had that problem with our names.
Its funny!

All the time : in fact so much so DD and DH and the cat all look when I talk until they figure out which one I really need

[Enchanted]

I do it all the time, DD & DS's names gets mixed up!
We have a female & a male dog that we have had since before the kids. So even their name's get mixed up with the kids

[~StarBright~]

My Dad just generically nick named us all Fred to avoid any confusion. And he used to point alot!!! lol Even now when I am talking to him on the phone he will get our names wrong when he is talking about us.. he will go "oh you will never guess what Kathryn is doing.... " and i go.. "Gee wont I??? What AM I doing these days??? lol" My mum however has always been pretty good

In my little family we have a bit of a funny situation.. DS is named after DH... which is so far ok because not many people refer to DH by his first name... I call DH "Baby" and he calls me "Baby" and DD got the nickname "Baby" when she was a Baby.. so when one of us calls "Baby!!!" we all have to check who it is we are talking to!!! lol

That's what I need, a nickname to cover all the kids then they can work out who I'm calling for.

I'm awesome at this. I go through all the pets names, DH's, my siblings and the kids before I get to who I mean

[Starfish]

Ha ha ha. Great thread.

I only have one child, but I sometimes call her by DH's name and vice versa. I'm pretty sure that when we had pets I would throw the pets names in there sometimes too (or call the rat by DD's name...).

[Girl-23]

No, you are not the only one. I even mix up the names of my siblings. Lol.
