Significant Other Name Missmatch

[Shu]

Now let's be honest folks, I know a lot of ya'll probably dated a few people, but have you ever made the mistake of calling the person who you are with or were with your ex's name? Give a brief story to entertain us maybe..

The only time I ever called my significant other by the wrong name is when I got mad =\. It never happened in bed like the movies portray it, that would be just damn awkward.

When I just broke up with K I had dated L for maybe 3 months or so, and she had been with someone prior to me as well. When she started bugging me about my parents coming into town one time for a football game we got into a huge argument.

When I raised my voice slightly I started getting out control, telling her that I never have problems when her folks come into town, but when mine do she throws a bitch fit. So right before I was about to leave the room, I called her K-- and stopped mid word. She looked at me and did the whole "Oh no you didn't." Obviously K and I got into fights quite often, but with myself and L we rarely get in fights unless it's about my folks or some other grey area like this.

So yea that's how it happened with me that one time. It's happened to K as well, and D as well, but for some reasons I feel like I got in more arguments than I knew what to deal with. I just associated Bitchy behavior with another person at the time =P.

I DID THIS ONCE

Danny was annoying me, in Asda we was, and because he was being annoying, and I went to tell him off, I just called him Andy.... he didnt even notice til i bastard pointed it out, then he sulked

In my defense though, at least I only called him Andy because he was annoying me, and not like....some other time....

That's actually been my only slip as far as I can remember

I haven't, and I haven't been on the receiving end either. My fiancee and had a conversation about this though, and my basic thought was that if you're in a relationship of decent length with a particular person, and get used to saying their name, it may take a bit for your brain to switch to new partner's name. So if it's a month or so into the relationship, and you call me your ex's name, no harm.

Now if we've been married for 15 years........... we might be having a bit of a chat.

I remember in school I called one guy I liked the name of a crush I'd been crushing on for maybe the past 5 years of school. However we weren't in a relationship or anything, I just like J and called him R randomly which looked really awkward to those around us..

That's the mild one though.

I have a really serious relationship with my guy atm, but at one point we broke up for a couple months. Then I started dating some other guy nearby, as a rebound and had accidentally called him by my other guy's name. In my defense though, he had the same haircut, hair colour and was also of slight British decent. >___>

I havent, but the latest and last ones both have an "S" name, so gotta be careful I dont slip up :/ But nope, Ive been ok with that. If I do, Id just apologise. If I said it in bed, then I would end the relationship myself!

 

[DeadFantasy]

Not that I can recall. I'm actually pretty good when it comes to that. Though, one of my ex's called me by a different name which was kind of weird but eh, it's not a big deal. Make the mistake learn from it. If you're with someone for a while, then you get use to they're name so tis all good

In bed.. that's a bigggg no no daaamn I just can't even imagine lol

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

I've never had this problem because I've never been in a really long relationship before Steve.

I think I may have called a male friend 'babe' by mistake once but that's as close as it's ever come.

 

[AddleBoy]

Well, I don't have an ex, so I have not done this before. I have called her by other girls' names on accident before, though. My girlfriend's name is Kelsey, and I have friend with the same first sound like Kayla and Carrie. It just slips out. Furthermore, she used to have a roommate named Kelly that she didn't like and was thoroughly irritated when I told her that my mom used to think her name was Kelly. I would tease her and say, "Wasn't your name Kelly?"

I've never had to deal with this or been on the receiving end Neither of us had been in a long or serious enough relationship before for it to be an issue, so there'd be really no reason for it anyway. We always call each other cute/silly names though anyway, like "Honey" or something, so we don't often even use each other's names anyway XD We have both called our family members "honey" by accident every once in a while though, I said it to my mom once or twice, and he said it to his younger brother once, which was really funny

I haven't said the wrong name, but I have looked back on events (meeting a guy in the petrol station and playing Marvel vs. Capcom) only to remember that Nick had been there instead of Chris. Nick's my ex from three years ago but he's still a good friend. He has dark hair and glasses like Chris... So yeah... I felt terrible when this happened.

My parents have called Chris Nick and Will more than once. I was rather annoyed at first because it felt like they weren't really engaging in my relationship, but now I just roll my eyes and move on. Unless, of course, mum smiles innocently like it doesn't matter.

Chris' mum and grandmother have each called me S--- once, but they were both so embarrassed and apologetic. I didn't mind. We all made a joke of it!

I have not done this with any of my significant others in the past thank goodness. The only time I have ever gotten someones name mixed up was with some friends, I've called a friend the name of another friend who they hated. It was no big deal though.
