my mom's middle name is tina anne makela. when she was a kid she used to think her middle name was "and" and wrote that on all of her papers.
Everytime a family member would leave for a trip, everybody would hug them and say "Save Jenny". I always wondered who this 'Jenny' was since we don't have a family member called Jenny. Of course, I also wondered what kind of trouble she was in that she needed to be saved of. I imagined a lot of adventures for Jenny and hoped she wasn't in jail or kept hostage or something. It took me a while to figure out that they were saying "Safe Journey" -_-'.
I used to believe that people had a differente name when grew up, like I would have another name when i became and adukt so I kept on asking my mother what was her child name and, of course, she could never answer that

When I was in 1st grade my friend and I went to latchkey before and after school. Well in the mornings there were these 2 kids from another school that would go to our latchkey program because they didn't have latchkey at their school. Their school was also a church and it was called, "Christ the King". When it was time for them to get on the bus to their school in the mornings the latchkey teacher would say, "Christ the King you have to go out to your bus." Well when the teachers said "Christ the King" my friend thought she was calling their names, and thought the two kids names were Christ and King.
When I was a kid there was a joke about people wanting or missing "Amanda Hugginkiss," which was supposed to sound like, "A man to hug and kiss." I did not understand this and kept wanting to know who this Amanda was.
Finally, one of my friends who had repeatedly tried to tell me that this was a joke when I asked her who this "Amanda" person was that everyone seemed to know but me, told me, "Look, never mind, she used to go to this school, okay?"
Years later, I figured it out.
When i was like 5 years my brother told me that i was ugly. For a while i belived him. Then i went to ask my other brother if i was ugly and he said i was!

When I was a child I used to think my parents didn't have names. I remember when I started answering the phone people would call, and ask for my mother or father. I would inquisitivly ask who?? Then I'd tell my mom or dad, and they'd be like I'll talk to them. I thought their name was mom and dad.
I decided when I was in Kindergarden that my name would no longer be Molly, it would now be Dora. I made everyone call me Dora, and much to the frustration to my Kindergarden teacher, I didn't stop for several months.
i used to belive that if you had an name that was common among old people,(such as bob, ina, ethel, henry) you would live longer than if your name was uncommon. i was sad because my mom made up my name.
I used to think that girls could only have girl names and boys could only have boy names. I'm a girl, so my name must have been a girl's name. It wasn't util recently that I remembered this belief and realized my name is a boys name.
