finding out what you're called and repeating your name

I'm learning items of clothing in Russian. Or to be more honest, we did an hour on it, and now have approx 35 new words to learn. Anyway, "Mekhovye sapogi" means "fur boots", but written in Cyrillic "sapogi" looks like "canozu" which looks like "canoe" so whenever I write "fur boots" I accidentally, with the watersports theme on my mind write "fur boats". Also, along the same theme, "fur hat" is "shapka" which in Cyrillic looks like "wanka".

It's just funny, isn't it?
