How to keep from calling your BF the wrong name


Question Posted Thursday July 15 2010, 9:21 pm

I started dating my boyfriend a month and 1/2 ago and he's been good to me. Unfortunately, I keep wanting to call him the wrong name. I dated a guy for awhile last year and for some strange reason when I open my mouth the wrong name starts to come out.

I usually catch myself before I let it slip but it's getting on my nerves. I don't want to hurt his feelings or make him think that I'm thinking of another guy. How can I make this stop? I want to call my BF the RIGHT name. haha

First off, if you make a mistake- quickly apologize. No one likes being called the wrong name. There are two things I would recommend trying: 1) Use his real name at all times during a conversation for the next two weeks. For instance, instead of saying 'you' or 'him', use his first name; and 2) Say his name out loud to yourself. You'd be surprised the effect hearing your own voice has when remembering names. That's why I always try to repeat someone's name when I'm first introduced.
