people: names

When I was a kid in elementary school, I saw the title "Madam" on a door in the school hallway. I didn't know what it meant, so I assumed it was a man's name, like "Adam".

I thought that the teacher in that class was a man like my dad. I got disappointed when i took french class and i saw a french woman as my teacher instead of a cool man. I got so angry and disappointed that i almost made her cry!

When I was little and my sister was just learning to write, I taught her that the proper spelling of her name was Katiewxyz. She spelt it like that for quite a while.

My brother's name is Benjamin, so he was always called Ben. Whenever my mom was mad at him, she would say, "Benjamin (last name)!" So for wuite a long time he believed that his middle name was "German".

when I was around 6 years old, I thought that people got a new name when they became adults. my mother`s name is Anveig, and I couldn`t imagine a baby or a child with that name!

I used to think that you had to change your name when you got older, because i never saw any kids named Bertha or Sharon or any adults named Zoe or Ryan or something like that. I thought I was special because my name could be both a "kid" and "grown up" name so i didn't have to change it. I believed this until i met a walmart employee named zoey!

I once heard a small boy going around saying.....I'm Steven Cool Urkel.....instead of Steven Q. Urkel. He really believed that Steve was called Steven Cool Urkel. Steve wasn't cool at all....hehe.

"language problems"

when i was 6 i had a friend that lived next door. His name was Juan..but i called him one...because of his accent thats what i thought he said, and i never heard the name juan before.

I used to think that there was a Momma Wheelie because I'd always heard of Poppa Wheelie.
(Pop a wheelie}

My friend used to believe she had two names : iza belka (belka means beam). in fact her name is izabelka (english elizabeth)

I have had many surgeries over the first ten years of my life. I am now eighteen. My neurologist's name was Dr. Grant. I never knew his first name but when I was younger I assumed his name was Ulysses because of the Ulysses S grant in history. I asked my mom when I was six if it was the same guy. I was shocked to find out that he wasn't.

I used to believe that when you grew old you had to change your name to an "old people" name, because I never saw little kids named Martha, or bertha or anything like that. Then I met a girl name Martha. LOL

my girl's name is Caitlin, when she was very young her playmates couldn't pronounce her name and called her 'cake tin'

As a child I wondered why my name was Dean, and how my parents (and I) knew it was Dean, and suspected that there might have been a great mixup and my real name was something else entirely.
This was long before I started getting teased for an uncommon name.

At first school, I envied anyone with what I saw as a cool name. Kimberly, Charmaine, Alexia, Nicola. But one girl had the coolest and quirkiest name of all. She was called Carilanne. We all wanted to be called Carilanne.

Only when I was 16 did I realise it was spelt CAROL-ANN....

WHEN I WAS 7 years i wanded why kids had names like barny who would name there kid after a t.v. show with a big dinosor thats puple and green with spots!!!!!! then i thought maybe they just loved the name barny?

When I was little, my parents told me if someone had the same name as you they could be related to you, so till I was about 8, I would say to every Hannah I met, 'hey we might be related', until I realised my parents meant surnames...
