Today, my daughter once again called my boyfriend by the name of an ex-boyfriend. She always does this and she claims it’s because they’re all bald. Can she not remember their very distinct faces? FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my four-year-old daughter called me by her mom's new boyfriend's name. Three different times. FML
Today, as they have for the past three years, my boyfriend's parents have never called me by my actual name. They always "accidentally" call me by my boyfriend's ex's name. FML
Today, my fiancée’s siblings kept calling me by her ex-boyfriend’s name. FML
Today, I called my new boyfriend by my ex’s name. Twice. In the same conversation. I’m having trouble saying anything while looking at him in the eye. FML
Today, my daughter admitted that she sometimes forgets her own name upon waking. She’s 15. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend's mom still refers to his ex as 'the daughter she never had.' FML
Today, my boyfriend still randomly brings up his ex. He told me what kind of dog his ex's grandma has. What the actual fuck? Whenever we’re out in public, he somehow slips her name into the conversation. He's told me he hates her, but mentioned her name at least 3 or 4 times. FML
Today, even my 11-year-old noticed how much my boyfriend constantly reminisces about his ex-girlfriend. FML
Today, I went out with my friend and her boyfriend. Not knowing him very well, I accidentally called him by her ex’s name. He took that as a sign she was still seeing the ex and dumped her on the spot. She’s now not speaking to me for ruining her life. I’m just bad with names. FML
Today, my mom called me by her favorite TV show character's name. Again. This is the eighth time this week. I'm an only child, and I'm 15. I thought she had my name down pat by now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How many men do you have revolving through your daughters life? "She always"... as if this has happened with multiple men you've dated.

Prosopagnosia is a thing!

Once you see the bald head, you don't notice anything else.

Maybe the kid liked the old one better.

Depends of the age, if she's farely young it could be an accident; if she's getting older, like close to 10 she could be trying to mess with you and the guy.

From the sounds of your post, you bring home lots of new guys. Maybe respect your daughter enough to quit bringing them home until you know for sure it'll last. She probably has a decent reason for being petty(if that truly is the case)

Yeeeah...so there's a thing called 'face blindness'. Your daughter may ACTUALLY not recognize them. It's common among autists, but allists can have it, too. Just ask if she can tell people apart based on faces; she'll be able to give you enough answer so you know. The good news is, all she probably needs is for the new boyfriend to say something to her; we usually get good at distinguishing voices instead. If he just says 'hi' or some random phrase, she'll know it's him.
