Do people ever remind you of objects or things?

I’m not quite sure how to explain this.

When I was younger, I would look at my little brothers round head and big smile, and I would be reminded of cheese and eggs.

I have the pet names of “sausage” and “monkey” for my girlfriend, she looks nothing like an ape or tube of meat, but for some reason that is just what I have in my heart when I think of her.

Also, a lot of the time people will remind me of skulls. I look at them, and for a moment I can kind of see the shape of their skull.

Is this or anything like this something that has happened or happens to you?

Does it have a name?
