Your story?
Sure, but I don't care about the many occasions that happened. I would only be upset if my lover called me her ex's name by mistake, especially while in the throes of passion

LOL my husband has called me by his ex wife's name a couple of times, but it was only when he was really irritated with me, which always has struck me as funny.

Plus, no matter what I was doing that was irritating, it's always eclipsed by his major faux pax so it really doesn't bother me very much.

You don't even need siblings...I got called by my aunt's name, my grandmothers, the dogs, the cats, the neighbor.

My mother also did that to my daughter....when the kiddo was about 4 she asked about it....told her to just go with it....you know she's talking to you!

I don't have a middle name, so I just always thought I was in trouble.

That happened to me at least once, too. Three siblings then the dog's name. I was a little offended.

My mom was more likely to mispronounce our names.....let's say my sister's name is "Janet", but our Mom would say "Jennet".
