Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed........

I wonder why.

I knew a child called Brooke Hunt!

After Victoria Derbyshire accidentally(?) called him Jeremy C* I expect they are all careful not to repeat her mistake (?)

😂

Poor Victoria. How awful for her.

I think it was James Naughtie (?) on radio 4. I now notice Nick Ferrari on LBC really stressing the H.

If you search VictoriaDerbyshireJeremyHunt it is easy to find on Google.

I feel sorry for his son Jack !!

Yes, I well remember the James Naughtie (sp?) incident!

We have someone coming to join a year long course in September, he has been before on a short course, and on that occasion I asked him how he would like to be addressed.

His name is Michael Hunt.

For the duration of his stay, we called him by his full Christian name!

It was James Naughtie the first time, it's become a regular 'mistake' and recently Victoria Derbyshire had a slip of the tongue.
I can't imagine how that could happen....

Apparently, he was used to it at school.

It wasn't just Victoria Derbyshire and James Naughtie....

that's not my name

A boy in my husband’s class at school was named Isaac Hunt. 🤨

Jane43 perhaps his parents didn't like him 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I wonder why anyone confuses h for c, it must be that they use the c word often themselves I think.🤔

phoenix DD was at school with a Michael Hunt.
Being teenagers they made a point of shortening his first name

Isaac that's worse than Michael

With JH, the original slip was a spoonerism: he meant to say Jeremy Hunt, Culture Secretary, and got those two middle words twisted. Easily done, especially if, in the back of your brain, there are echoes of a word you know you simply MUST NOT say! From that day on, the BBC reversed this form of address and said, "Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt", which made such mistakes less likely.

I used to know a Wayne Shanks. More than one teacher called him Shane W----s by mistake.

My ex husband had a friend called Richard Hunt, born to a French mother, living in England. He was known in laddish circles as Monsieur Dick-Hunt.

Day6......excruciating, and much like me once trying to explain to American friends what spotted dick was in a restaurant.
