I used to think my mum and dad were brother and sister. How else would they have the same surname?

My brother's name is Benjamin, so he was always called Ben. Whenever my mom was mad at him, she would say, "Benjamin (last name)!" So for wuite a long time he believed that his middle name was "German".

When I was little, my parents told me if someone had the same name as you they could be related to you, so till I was about 8, I would say to every Hannah I met, 'hey we might be related', until I realised my parents meant surnames...

Hannah

My friend used to believe she had two names : iza belka (belka means beam). in fact her name is izabelka (english elizabeth)

BB

I used to think that when you got older you got an "adult name" like you'd go having a name like Billy to James or something. im still kind of sad that I did'nt go from Dee to Diana :)

I once heard a small boy going around saying.....I'm Steven Cool Urkel.....instead of Steven Q. Urkel. He really believed that Steve was called Steven Cool Urkel. Steve wasn't cool at all....hehe.

I had a best friend named Jessica when I was little, and I swore she was really Jessie from Pokemon in disguise. She thought I was crazy, and so did my teachers as I had assured them that she really wanted to kidnap their Pokemon!

When my mother used to talk about Princess Diana, she usually referred to her as Princess Di. I thought she was talking about some sort of evil vampire (Princess "Die") and wondered why people always mentioned how kind and wonderful Princess "Die" used to be.

I found out years later that Di was short for Diana, which made a lot more sense to me! ;)

My mom introduced me to another girl with the same name as me and I was like NO THAT'S MY NAME. And I screamed and flipped out because she had my name.

When I was younger I got a lot of things mixed up. For example, I walways got confused with Al Gore and Bill Clinton, in terms of who was who. I also got mixed up with Chicago and Detroit.

At first school, I envied anyone with what I saw as a cool name. Kimberly, Charmaine, Alexia, Nicola. But one girl had the coolest and quirkiest name of all. She was called Carilanne. We all wanted to be called Carilanne.

Only when I was 16 did I realise it was spelt CAROL-ANN....
