22 Hilarious Times Kids Made Themselves Look Dumb By Mispronouncing Someone's Name Confidently
Kids will always be kids.
Nothing is more exciting than observing children navigate the vast, complicated universe. They begin encountering new people at a young age, interacting with both children and adults, and picking up on the practical application of social cues and rules.
For the younger ones, that is when things can get a teeny tiny bit confusing. Children often make humorous mistakes. When you stop to think about it, they are learning something new almost daily.
It's quite amusing to hear what they come up with as adults, especially when it comes to correctly naming things. A writer and mom, Brianne M. Kohl, tweeted:
“My 8-year-old daughter met a girl at summer camp last year named 'Internet.' I said, 'No way, that can't be her name,' but my daughter has been adamant. For almost a year, we've been having this discussion.”
It turns out that the girl from summer camp was called "Antoinette." The post quickly went viral on Twitter, with many parents sharing similar stories of their children mispronouncing names.
Even grown-ups joined in on the fun and shared instances when they made themselves look foolish by mispronouncing people's names. We've compiled a list of some of the most hilarious tweets to demonstrate how common it seems to be in the children's kingdom to get a name completely wrong.

Certain individuals are more adept at recognizing faces than names. It can be more difficult to remember a name that is complicated and unusual unless you have made a deliberate effort to commit it to memory.
This can be challenging because forgetting can make people very angry! To avoid this, some people try not to say the other person's name and instead offer open-ended inquiries that could lead to hints without giving anything away, but we can't say the same for kids.
