If you're from the Northeast USA, you may remember the chain-store Caldor (also called Caldors). Well, until I was about 6, I thought that the name was Cow-Doors. I was always looking for those cows.
My friend, whose last name is Hanlon, thought that her name was Hamlon until she learned to read and write. You know...like ham.
