Don't Ever Call Your Sweetheart By His Name, by Christine Lavin

(I rarely use anyone's name anyway! ;)

*grin* I find I tend to mis-name when I'm exasperated. I don't think I've ever confused names during a warmfuzzy moment, but when I'm calling someone's name to grouch at them, occasionally I default wrongly. (At least a couple of times I grouched at a friend by an SO's name, too, which amused him to no small degree, which made it that much harder to deliver a good bitching. Very tough when they are giggling at you for a good reason).

I mix names up frequently, largely because names aren't how I think of people. This is probably part of why I don't use names. I'm most likely to mix names up if something needs out of my head _NOW_, but in those cases I'm rarely in a situation where I need to use a name to get someone's attention. Thankfully.

And I mix names up far less frequently in writing than spoken, interestingly.
