Can anybody tell me please WHY I keep calling my friends 4 wk old baby *George* when his name is actually Henry?

Never once was George on the list of possibles....don't know where it came to make me do it.

Keep thinking I'll just click in eventually and it will sink in that his name is Henry......but today, having met him for the first time.....I still keep calling him George!!!!

Anyone else ever done this???? xx
