Why Do Moms So Often Mix Up Their Kids’ Names?

Have you ever been trying to talk to a family member, only to realize that their name completely evades you?

You suddenly can’t remember your child’s name and start calling them all of your other children’s names before finally settling on the right one.

We’ve all experienced that awkward situation — usually it’s by our closest friends and family members, so we just laugh it off.

But it might leave you wondering, “Why do I have to run through a list of my kids’ names before I finally get the right one?”

Well, according to science, it all comes down to emotions.
