Okay, this was spurned from: http://www.wrongplanet.net/modules.php? ... 966#555966
So why might one-year-old kids not respond to their names?
*Autism (News)
*Dea-sorry hearing impaired and haven't learnt to lipread yet. (me)
*Already know not to talk to strangers (kanga)
*Just don't like their parents (kanga)
*They were given a strange name they hate (9CatMom)
*They sense that the people who are calling their name, are crackpots and don't deserve to be acknowledged. (violet_yoshi)
*Some babies may not respond to their name because their parents may not refer to them by name. If they are called nicknames all the time when they are little they will not respond to their real name. (Ticker)
*They are highly intelligent, and after reading Communism Weekly, has realized that the etymology of their name has quite a lot to do with the exploitation of mule breeders in the early middle ages/ would rather be called sylivia. (cruimh_shionnachain)
*Already want to kill/torure their parents and are always thinking about it and how they will make them suffer. (hyper_alien)
*Their names hasn't been used consitently enough for the child to make an association.
((What else? The more outrageous, the better))
((Keep 'em coming.))
