I've been told as a small child (about 4 or 5) that I thought "Lather" was the most beautiful name. I don't know why, I don't remember it but I apparently gave one of my favorite dolls that name. I also loved Cornelius for a girl, I was a weird kid...

— Alex

i used to believe that people were related by their first names...my grandp, ungle, and my cousin's names were Ernie, my dad and my brother's names were Todd, and my unlce and cousin's names were Sam. They were all on my mom's side of the family, thus they had different last names. Now you can see why I was so confused as a kid....

When I was a kid I believed that everyone was given a new first name when they became an adult. It just seemed to me that kids had different names than adults.

I'd heard about Bin Laden on the news a few years ago and I thought his son was Osama Bin Laden..I got very confused!!

— Lauraaaaa

I used to believe I was named after a tree part. My middle name is Lynn, which, to a four-year-old, sounds a lot like tree limb. I was always upset at my parent for such a lame name even after I found out its proper pronounciation and that it had nothing to do with trees.

— Tracy

I thought Whoopi Goldberg was the inventor of the Whoopie Cushion

Anon

I used to believe that when you hit adulthood that you had to change your name to something like Betty or Anne, because little kids aren't called names like that.

— Jill

my little sister, whose name is anna, used to think "anoraks" were really called "annaraks", so mine would be a "tiarak", our dad's a "paparak" and so on...

Anon

My brother thought that one adult was a dult and that one alert was a lert.
