People your DCs have renamed

[BarbaraVineFan]

My DD, almost 4, met a little boy today at holiday club named 'Feelings'.
She chatted about him all the way home - what she played with Feelings, what Feelings said, etc.
After some confusion I worked out that her new friend's name was in fact FELIX.
Has anyone else had a child rename a friend like this?!

There's been quite a few lol but the one that sticks out most is Salt. I'm like there's no way there's a kid named Salt 😂 but she was very insistent. I was too embarrassed to ask the nursery. Used to talk about him a lot.

One day I seen something on the app that mentioned a few of the kids names and it turned out she meant Sol 😆

At nursery, DD had a friend called Dadoo (Andrew). At school, there was girl-Alex, boy-Alex and Freddy-with-the-big-head!

My son had a friend called Veggie.. who was actually Reggie.

I asked what Andy's surname was. Apparently it was Andy Spiderman.

We had Tissie (Patricia), Tassie (Kathryn) and Dam (Joanne)

Cluedo's Colonel Mustard is now Captain Pickle in our house 😂

Ginegar. I’m still not sure what the actual name was but I think it may have been Jennifer
And another Jennifer who became a friend - her name was reported as being Fur (that one stuck as a nickname)

And John Sniff from Pocahontas

My DC has a friend called Atom.... No, it's actually Adam 😀

Dd made friends with a Tarzan (Tamzin)

Ds told me his best friend was called heham but it turns out he’s name is Ibrahim

My daughter went through a stage of calling herself Chloe when she was around 3 (she was very insistent) when we went off to a camp with my friend and her daughter she called her Jane. Neither are remotely like their actual names but we still frequently refer to them as Chloe and Jane. They're now 9 and 7.

When DS was in reception he kept talking about a boy called Greece. Turned out it was Rhys.

Libbiluff for Elizabeth. Still used to this day by all of us!

My son was convinced his friend's brother was called Furball......it was Fergal!

When my DS was 5 or 6, his favourite footballer was Dion Dumpling.

My daughter came home one day proudly telling me she knew what her teacher’s real first name was: “It’s Fronka!”

Veronica. The lady’s name is Veronica.

Ds mentioned his school mates brother "Awesome". Turned out he was Orsen.

My daughter went to nursery with a lad called Tesco

Actually Francesco

Lemon - Lennon
Hammer - Hannah

DD1 when she started preschool last year at 3 kept talking about what I thought were twins called Lee and Laura. DD1’s always had excellent speech, so I couldn’t understand why she kept referring to them as ‘she’.

It was one girl called Leonora.

DD couldn't get the hang of Midge (the dog in tractor ted) and insisted its name was "Minge" 🤣

My 3 yo told us all about singing "happy birthday" to "Banana" at nursery- girl was called Ilana!

Our youngest was very keen on the new teacher at school - Mrs Flirty - DH was looking forward to meeting her at parents evening!! Turns out Mrs Flaherty was a lovely lady - if slightly less flirtatious than hoped for!

When my son started reception a child in his class had the same name as him so for the first term he called him “the other me”.
