Ever called her someone elses name?

The first time I got irritated with Mrs Don I very nearly called her the ex's name.

That was the one and only time.

It was interesting that it was the emotion of irritation that brought the name back.

I did that one.

"Oh for f*** sake, Josephine", although her name wasn't Josephine. (But she started it, she got my name wrong in bed a few weeks before, so I could at least defend myself).

once called her "mum". thats weird

Have slipped up once, called her the ex's name, so has my Dad. To be fair she took it very well. It was only about a month or so into the relationship, six years on I'm pretty good on getting her name right now.

On the wierd side I have called my Mum 'honey' on the phone (my mistake may I add).

i remember said:

i went to the cinema with this bird one time and tbh she was a bit simple

Sounds like a match made in heaven.

Not with my wife, but its quite common in our family:

Mu Mum often calles me my sisters name (and vice cersa) when she's talking to us on the phone
I call my sister Claire, and sometimes darling on the phone
Someone at work I've called after my sister once

Its only a matter of time....

I actually managed to get the OHs name wrong on our honeymoon.

We were walking along the beach, hand in hand as you do on honeymoon... She said 'My Husband Mr ...' using my full name including my middle name, she obviously wanted me to reciprocate, so I did 'My Wife Mrs ...' At which point I had a mental block over her middle name... So I just blurted out the first name that came into my head which was 'Elizabeth' Why on EARTH I did that I don't know as I don't know any Elizabeths nor ever have done, and it's not like I hadn't known her long, we'd been together for 4 years already.

There was a frosty 20 minute interrogation, and then we laughed about it (Phew!). Though she still doesn't let me forget it now - 5 years later (which is fair enough I suppose)

I moved from one Kimberley to another. It kept things nice and simple.

Yup, done it a couple of times, Thankfully far enough into relationships for them to realise I'm a hair-brained moron at the best of times and struggle to construct a sentence at times.

Provided they have met my mother it's even easier to explain away, I just claim I get it from here, normally if she adresses me she'll go through every male member of my extended family before getting the right name...

I do find that if someone catches my eye and has the same name as an the ex it is another tick in the box.

Had a gf called June...
Would often call her Joan, Jane...sometimes use all three names in one sentence...

Yep. I did it in front of her mates too.

Many years ago, when i first started work at 16, i called my boss 'dad', had the piss taken out of me for many months after that!
Mum called me 'John' a few weeks ago! No idea what thats all about but funnily our neighbour is called John!!!!

[gib6933]

Yep! And the first thing I could think of was keep going, so I rolled out about 5 other names.
Hoping it looked intentional, I think I got away with it.


On the same theme, when I was younger I found out never to tell a girl to "stop trying to mother me", Its like flicking THE MENTAL switch!

..The Mrs hates that, Even when she's trying to be too nice and it gets all motherly, Unload the eternal line as above and all hell breaks loose..

My Mum once called my ex by the wrong name, again a name that I'd never been out with, but was met with a frosty response nonetheless.

My mother and my grandmother do this *all* the time.

He called his GIRLFRIEND mum!!





okay we are all friends here... so did I... once... but thank god I got away with it because she wasnt paying attention!!!

[CaptainSlow]

I always have to stop and check I'm using the right name for my mate's wife. I was so relieved I wasn't asked to do the best man's speech at his wedding.

Only once, and i still wake up in cold shivers every now and then remembering the time i did.
