A Girl Named Bulletta?

Maddie came home from her first day of camp and proudly told me the names of the other girls that ride the van home with her: Samantha, Annie and Bulletta. Bulletta? Bulletta is the nickname my father uses for his bulldog, Mabel. So, I'm thinking, there is no way this little girl's name is really "Bulletta," it must be something that sounds similar, such as Bernadette. Maddie is mixed up, right? So, I tell Maddie to ask again what the girls' names are. Today, the second day of camp, she comes home and proudly announces, "See!! I told you the girl's name was Mabel!" I had to explain that Bulletta is a nickname for bulldog, not Mabel.
