My ds3 came home from his first day at school insisting he’d met a boy called Gleb. He has hearing issues so we were all “no, you must mean Glen. Or Greg”. Then we tuned in to Strictly one Saturday ...

And I swear that I once heard a woman yelling at her little boy - who was called Mayfair. She said it more than once. Definitely Mayfair.

My DS had a Tuna in his swimming group.

Jonah.

And my DD insisted that her teacher was called Cure. She's actually called Claire but has a very strong Irish accent...

Haha this reminds me my daughter coming home from Nursery and telling me about her new friends car lot and boner. 😂

I would have thought Mayfair was a girl.

Really? Sibling to Razzle, Penthouse and Asian Babes I’m guessing.

My brother was in nursery with a little girl he called kleenex (Llinos). It baffled my mother for months!

BikeRunSki · 30/09/2019 22:58

Angry Boy - maybe Anthony?

Yep, we did a double take when DD said she had a Stalin in the nursery room. AKA Sterling.

DD came home from Reception excitedly telling me about baby Cheesy who was born on Christmas Day.

She was rather more upset at Easter when she found out he had died. Poor baby Cheesy, he only lived for 4 months!

It must have been some failure in communication as it turns out she wasn't the only child from her class crying about the poor baby Cheesy that holiday.

Also, just found out there is a real live Khaleesi living in the West Midlands. Exciting times.

For three months our DC was convinced one of her preschool chums was called Turkey

My Christmas Ocado delivery was diverted by Turkay once. I was delighted :)

Any old timers remember “Jesus in the Cabbage van”? I think that was a Christmas Ocado text.

Little boy next door calls my daughter jingle bell she is in fact isabel lool... she just answers to him no i think she is done correcting him

LauraMipsum · 01/10/2019 14:33

Their God is called Alan Grin

When I went to primary school, we sang a short chant (is that an antiphon?) after prayers every morning which began "Enrich, Lord, heart, mouth, hands in me...." I misheard "Enrich" as "Henry" and was convinced for about two terms that God's name was Henry.

It was Easter. That was me too :o

Sadly today's is David in the Onion Van. Very disappointing.

My son had a friend who he was adamant was called Awesome in reception ....

(turns out his name was actually Orson)

smemorata · 01/10/2019 15:09

I wrote in my diary as a teenager that I had met a new girl called Wan - eater. I'm sure you can guess what her actually name turned out to be?

aweedropofsancerre · 01/10/2019 15:09

Brian

Stravapalava · 01/10/2019 15:10

I keep coming back to this thread to find out what Kwerky's real name is!!

ilovetofu · 01/10/2019 15:16

This thread is making me lol Grin

Scoobygang7 · 01/10/2019 16:21

@smemorata Anita?

smemorata · 01/10/2019 16:23

It was actually Juanita, so close!

“Jesus in the Cabbage van” GrinGrin
At Easter Grin Amazing!

I once had an Ocado text telling me my shopping would be delivered by Prince. Sadly it was not THE Prince, but then he did arrive in the onion van and not a little red corvette, so I should have managed my expectations...

MyBootsAreMuddy · 01/10/2019 16:51

Ds2 was adamant that the new boy in his nursery class was called Gorgeous, tuned out he was called George but because there were 3 of them they were called George B, George N and the new one was George S.
