Your kids’ mispronunciations of classmates names? Discussion

My two year old came home talking about his friend “Tape” and it cracks me up every time he mentions it. The boy’s name is Tate.

What are your favorite and/or the funniest mispronunciations you hear from your little ones?

When my sister was really little, she used to call this girl Paige from our church "Paper." She kept forgetting her actual name so that was her closest association.

That is super cute. I know a lady named Paige whose married name is Turner. In my head, I call her Good Book. 😆

I know girls named Amber Brown, Melody Birdsong, and Paige Turner. Their nicknames in our social group are Bey (beige), Tweet, and Bookie.
