and it reminded me of something that happened when I was a kid, just a strange anecdote.
We had an upstairs neighbor with two kids, one six or seven years old and the other a toddler.
For a year or so, they called that younger child Aida. I remember this very clearly because we had the sheet music for excerpts from the opera Aida. And then when the kid was about two or so they suddenly switched to calling her a completely different name.
I was never able to get her sister to admit they'd changed the baby's name. I don't think I ever asked her mother about it either. Even now, years later, I think about it and wonder what the heck that was about and if maaaaaaybe I completely made this up and it didn't happen. Either possibility is weird as hell, you have to admit.
