Do you sometimes feel certain people look like they have a certain name?

There is a guy called Paul and he is forever in my head as Robert. What is even the connection between the two names!!! It is crazy i keep looking up emails from him using the wrong name and I don't even remember his real name unless I search for it! He is soooo Robert lol

This happens to me a lot when I am trying to learn the names of my students.

Sometimes two people will sit next to each other, and I think that each one has the name that the other should have!

@DrWatson This is different though, mixing names when you have a large number of students. I, on the other hand, have no reason to think this guys is called Robert when he is a Paul lol
