I once thought of most names in the world, there were three people with that name, one who goes to school, one who doesn't go to school, and one who is an adult. But for rare names there was only one person with that name.

There's a popular book in Poland called "Mr. Kleks Academy". It's a bit Potter-ish to say the truth: the Professor, Mr. Kleks teaches his young and eager students how to fly a carpet or understand the speech of dogs. When I was young I desperately wanted to attend the school some day. Unfortunately, only those whose name started with "A" had a chance to take part in this ecceptional educational adventure.

My parents gave me the name of Michael. At six, it caused me to fall apart from them a little :)

Now, when I'm 19 I come to realise that I shouldn't have quarelled with them... My second name is Antony :)

Mike, Poland

My fathers name is the first part of his surname and so my little brother always thought that his surname was the last part of our actual surname

Nicky

I used to tell everyone my name was Nancy (it isn't even close). Later, when people would ask her how Nancy was doing, she'd just give them a blank stare and ask, "who?"
They always thought she wasn't all there or something, until the day she realized what I was telling everyone, and started setting them straight.

My parents have an old family friend named Laurette. When I was a tyke, I always got her name mixed up and called her "Roulette". It took me years to get it right. One day, while joking about my old habit, she thanked me for, "Comparing me to a gambling table!"

When I was 11, I thought that Newt Gingrich was really named Nude Gingrich.

My dad's a farmer, and so we have CB's in our tractors. He always used to say "Hey you!" over the radio to someone else, and I actually thought someone's name was HeyYou. It didn't help that he told me someone WAS named HeyYou...but later on he said he was pulling my leg. I was so broken hearted...

My middle name is Wynne, and until I was about 6 I thought it was spelled 'win' and that my parents gave me that name because I was really great and would win at everything!

When I very little my parents used to call me Aja (Asia) the pill because i always bugged them. On my first day of Pre-school we did the name game where you go around the circle and tell everyone your name, and yes as you can guess i thought my name was really Aja the pill. My mom was so embarassed when the teacher confronted her.

Aja

When I was about 5 I believed that like a cabbage patch doll children just arrived already named and like it or not, you had to live with it.

I used to believe that the name of the painting 'American Gothic' was 'Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.' I don't know why.
