Not Quite the Name I'm Looking For

I called my student by the name of my cat today.

"Say A. Saaaay Aaaaaaay."

. . .

"Come on darling, say Aaaaaaay."

"behbehbeh"

"Almost! Try again. Say Aaaaaay."

. . .

"Come on Hamlet.
--- wtf did I just call him?
"Oh. No, no...you are not a cat."
--- shit!

"behbehbeh"
