Their names only differ by 1 letter, which seems like a valid reason in my mind, but seems far less legitimate now that I'm reading it...oops... rawrasaur on "Have you ever called your SO by the wrong name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-called-your-so-by-the-wrong-name#post-108205 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 09:09:10 +0000 rawrasaur 108205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Haha, I think I have called him my brothers names before. Or have I called my brothers his name before. Who knows, but mistakes were made! On that note, I use his name all the time, but he rarely says my name to me. cupcakemama on "Have you ever called your SO by the wrong name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-called-your-so-by-the-wrong-name#post-108117 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 02:29:02 +0000 cupcakemama 108117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No thank god! looch on "Have you ever called your SO by the wrong name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-called-your-so-by-the-wrong-name#post-108106 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 01:39:34 +0000 looch 108106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, just this morning I accidentally called my husband by my father's name. In my defense, they both start with the same constanant/vowel combination.

I have never called DH the name of an ex or friend or anything like that though! DH never gets my name wrong though.

Usually when talking about video games or something else they both have in common, haha. I don't have any previous boyfriends though, so DH is lucky in that regard. And he's never called me by his ex's name, so no one's gotten in trouble for messing up names. :) sslm on "Have you ever called your SO by the wrong name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-called-your-so-by-the-wrong-name#post-108009 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 20:21:30 +0000 sslm 108009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I call DH by our dog's name a lot, and call the dog DH's name too. It's kind of embarrassing and I always feel bad!!!!!

I joke that I'm secretly dating a guy named Ron. Haha.

In the beginning, it was a conscious effort though (I've done it before with other ppl) ;o pastemoo on "Have you ever called your SO by the wrong name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-called-your-so-by-the-wrong-name#post-107335 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 20:49:27 +0000 pastemoo 107335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I get everyone's name wrong all the time. Especially frequent: I am telling a story, and transpose the subject of the story and the person I'm telling it to. My husband understands, so he doesn't take it personally. chopsuey on "Have you ever called your SO by the wrong name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-called-your-so-by-the-wrong-name#post-107329 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 20:33:18 +0000 chopsuey 107329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Rubies: I don't think P's ever called me by anyone else's name. Shiz. I'd probably nag him to death if he ever called me some other girl's name. Traumatize him into never doing it again. :D Rubies on "Have you ever called your SO by the wrong name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-called-your-so-by-the-wrong-name#post-107326 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 20:31:28 +0000 Rubies 107326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @artbee: @chopsuey119: So, hubs usually calls me by the first three letters of my name but he's so used to barking out "Ben! Ben!" to his brother that when DH is trying to yell for my attention he accidentally calls out BIL's name. As for Tina? No clue. It happens so often that I don't even question it anymore. :D chopsuey on "Have you ever called your SO by the wrong name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-called-your-so-by-the-wrong-name#post-107322 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 20:29:09 +0000 chopsuey 107322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Rubies: LOL hahahah this made me LOL too.

My dad tends to call all of us by the wrong name. My sister once called him and said, "Hi dad." And he said, "Joy?" Joy is his sister. Why would his sister say, "Hi dad"?

Probably because I started calling her honeybee ;) Now I call her by her Korean name. My mom occasionally will call LO Bentley though.

I was not a fan. She would literally go through the names of everyone in the family, then all of our dogs, and then pause. I wonder if she was messing with me. Seriously, mom... the dogs?? Haha!!

Haha. I had a friend who dated like three Davids. Made it easy for her! chopsuey on "Have you ever called your SO by the wrong name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-called-your-so-by-the-wrong-name#post-107265 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 19:48:11 +0000 chopsuey 107265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @artbee: HAHAHA I used to call LO my dog's name too. That's why I started just calling her honeybee! I call my dog honeybee too :P chopsuey on "Have you ever called your SO by the wrong name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-called-your-so-by-the-wrong-name#post-107261 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 19:47:16 +0000 chopsuey 107261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Um. Yeah. When we were first married, I called DH the wrong name. HAHAHAHA He wasn't happy! I've called DH my dog's name too. Yikes! heffalump on "Have you ever called your SO by the wrong name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-called-your-so-by-the-wrong-name#post-107260 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 19:46:32 +0000 heffalump 107260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope. But sometimes I call LO by my dogs name. Or I'll call my LO her cousin's name. mrbee on "Have you ever called your SO by the wrong name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-called-your-so-by-the-wrong-name#post-107257 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 19:45:25 +0000 mrbee 107257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I once dated someone whose ex had the same name as me. I felt like this was an unfair advantage. I would love it if everyone I ever dated had the same name... although I'd probably have to refer to them with numbers. Then I'd call them by the wrong number! So I guess there are no shortcuts in life. Luckily, neither Mrs. Bee or I have ever called each other by the wrong name. Phew! Have you ever called your SO by the wrong name, or vice versa? How did the situation get resolved?
