[Bruce from Can.]

Being the youngest of four brothers, this made me smile. If my Dad was excited, or ticked off at me, he seemed to have to start with my oldest brothers name, and run down the list to get to my name. And it was no help to him all of our names started with B . I sometimes thought my name was , Bob Bill Barry Bruce!

Same here.

Joke around our house is the last resort name: Sparky (dog!)

I remember my mother saying the same thing about her mother. Mom had 4 older sisters.// Anabell, Gerturde, Olive, Charlet, from gradps Will Simpson's first wife who died. Great Grand pa Mac Gilvery sent over Sarah my Grand Mother [ mom's mom] to look after the girls later marring Grandpa Will them along came Malcom, Mom, and Claiton. {Early Morning spelling mind not fully clear}//
Grandma Simpson would often run down the names before arriving at mom

Bruce I had the same problem. I'm number 8 of ten. My mom would start at the top and work her way down. When it was time to start school I thought I'll never get though school If my name is Kenneth Max David John Rex Dale I'll still be writhing my name when teacher says time to hand in test. My mom did remember I was male and left out my sisters names. My sister says she is a perfect 10 that's way there are only 10. I tell her then I'm 8 and great.

George Fraizer had the right idea.

Heard another joke. Lady named all her kids with same. When asked how she tells them apart? Answer: By their last name.

How about Adolf, Rudolf, Get off & stay off?

 

[SweetFeet]

Too funny and true!

Mom would only touch upon the first syllable of the other kids first, so it
sounded similar to "Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La"...before getting to the real culprit's name.
Always made it sound like she was doing musical voice warm-ups.

Names above changed to protect the innocent... and to match the tonic sol-fa singing scale. LOL

 

[coshoo]

I was one of four, and to add insult to injury, grandma would run through all 3 of my sisters (even the younger one) before getting to me.

Reminds me of a joke that Bill Cosby used to do. Found it on Youtube:

When I worked in a school district 5here we re four brothers. All were blonds. Kyle, Keith, Kevin, and Kory.

 

[Blackhole49]

I'm second oldest of 14. 10 boys and 4 girls. I don't recall either parent missing a name, mad or otherwise.

 

[RESLLS]

Grandpa just called them brother and sister. Had 11. My cousin always went through all 3 of his kids names. Bridgette, Julie, John. Though it was usually John that was the problem.

 

[ADB-Ia]

Now that's funny. Trouble is, we had 9 of us kids so you would have to figure out what octave she was in. I would have been Te in the list by the way.

I am the oldest of five kids, Mom never missed the names. My younger siblings are 15,17,18 years younger than me. So growing up I was more like a Father than an older brother. When my own kids came along if I was mad I would often call my oldest son by my brother's names before getting to his. LOL I kind of got out of that habit with my younger kids. Now my trouble is calling the Grand kids by their parent's name. The trouble is often it is a grand daughter and her Father is my son.

My one Grand Daughter will be twenty here shortly. I called her by her Dad's name often enough that it has become a joke between us. So I usually call her John the second now. She signs any cards she sends me with her name Jenny first with John in brackets behind her name. LOL

My cousin Dan, the youngest of five, has always claimed his real name is Gaddammitt. His Father would holler Freddy, Jimmy, Dicky, Janet, Gaddammitt!!!!!!

 

[4xMF]

My dad sometimes called me the name of his little brother.

 

[Tim in OR]

When I was in highschool, one my buddies name was Arn. His little brother's name was Don. Frequently we would hear their Mom in an agitated voice holler out D -- A-- DARN! I guess it covered them both.

I never once confused my 3 boys names. Maybe because I called them all "Nugginhead".

 

[CKain(MI)]

Had an uncle that always called his first son "Son". Second son was called "Moon".
