Whoever You Are!

My sister and I have names that start with A.
I get called by her name and she gets called by my name.
I remember my dad said my grandma would cycle through all the names.
He had a sister and brother, and she'd call all of their names until she got it right.
Do you ever get called the wrong name by a family member or friend?

I occasionally get called one of my brother's names since all our names sound similar (my dad really liked themed names, apparently).
I also get called my friend's name occasionally because of how often we would be found together. XD
I had two friends before: Jennie and Jeannie, and I would always mix them up when I say them, despite the fact that I knew who was who. Well, it was more often that I called both of them Jennie, pfft.

My name isn't even close to my oldest sister's and mom still calls me her on occasion
Where I went to dance for ten years the lady who ran the supply store up front did the same thing regularly, cuz the same sister had been there for many years
She always caught herself right as she did it to, until the last time I saw her. She's had a stroke since and now someone else takes care of the front. Whole thing is owned by the dance instructor now

Yeah, haha. I get called by my sister's name by a lot of family members. My English is very high tier. You know what I mean.

I get called by my mom's name all the time, even outside of my family. We attended the same school and some of my teachers kinda defaulted to using her name instead of mine.

And our names are not even close - hers has slavic roots, mine's latin.

All my siblings and i start with either a K or a C so needless to say we all get the wrong name and end in a you with the face.
Thanks mom.

When I was very young I looked like my half-sister, so if I was facing away people would call me in her name, progressing to yelling until finally I'd turn and they'd be like, "Oh oops." XD

I'm named after my dad, but I don't have contact with him, so no... No one confuses me.

Oh, we also got called by our cousins names.
Amd most recently my best friend and I get called by eachothers names "work at the same place" and most people joke that it doesn't matter because we are the same person pretty much.
The true difference is she is more outgoing and I'm shy and reserved.
