people: names

I once met a kid at the park named Wolfgang. Since I was very small(like 3 or 4), I could not pronounce his name right, so I called him "Loafgang" instead. I just thought that he liked bread

I used to believe…

That my nickname could be spelled backwards or forwards. So half of the time I signed my pictures "OLOL"

I was probably in second or third grade when my mother was reading the book Jane Eyre for a class, and I asked her what it was about. She gave me a brief outline of the story, and I was very interested, particularly in the part about the crazy lady up in the attic. I asked why she went crazy, and my mother told me it was because her name was Bertha. I completely believed this (wouldn't YOU go crazy, if your name was Bertha?), but my mother didn't realize I did until she heard me telling a friend, in all sincerity, the story EXACTLY as it was told to me. It just cracked her up.

I use to beleive my name was damn-it...Damn-it ! Get over here ! My father never used my real name.

My name is Alexandra and when i was little i thought that to spell the male version of my name (Alexander) i just had to drop the A at the end.

when i was really little i thought that if you had twins, you had to give them the same name!

i also had two friends who shared the same birthday, so i was certain that that meant they were cousins!

I thought that when people got married, they just chose whatever surname in the world they wanted. I often wondered why they had chosen such a long and hard to spell one for our family!

I used to think everyone in the world knew my name. I was surprised when people asked me what my name was. I figured they should all know me.

I used to think that names with a hyphen in between, names with
The first and middle name put together were meant to be 'special' in some way, so if you wre called Anne-Marie, Mary-Anne,
Michael-John etc , then it made you the teachers pet at school, or everyone's family favourite at home.

When I was in middle school there was a kid in one of my classes named Christopher, but for some reason he pronounced it in a really weird way, i.e like "Chris-Toefer" (second part rhymes with "gopher"), almost like it was two words. As a result, I thought that his first name was "Chris" and his last name was "Toefer". I'm not sure when I finally realized the truth (I think I saw his name written down at one point). I'm still not sure why he pronounced it that way

I used to believe that my middle name was Goofy, even though it's actually Margaret.

I thought the Vally of the Shadow of Death was in Death Valley, California

My mom told me that eddy means whirlpool and i thought i had a whirlpool in me because my name is eddy

I thought Dr. Stitch, our town’s doctor… was Stich from lilo and stitch

When I was about 2, I called seagulls "Bow wows", I also called my cousin Heather Haha, Melissa Meemee, and Ginnie GiGi

When I was little, I used to believe that my name was "Mico," even though I knew it was spelled Michael. I got this idea from the Nickoloden game show, GUTs that was hosted by "Mico Malley" (Mike O'Malley) After that I thought that "micowaves" (microwaves) and "mico machines" (Micro Machines) were named after me.
