In the film, Maggie accidentally calling her husband "Gio(vanni)" instead of "Fred" is discussed, and in the book the same is done in reverse for him calling her "Livia". It is also suggested in the book that Belle isn't actually the daughter's real name, and there's no word on Warren (who would have been very young, so perhaps didn't need to).

* RealityHasNoSubtitles: An odd case. The family has been living in France for six years, and most of Warren's schooling will have been in French, so it is safe to assume that most of the time the characters will be speaking in French to the French people. Of course, all of the important dialogue (when it is with teachers, the mayor, and the priest, for example) is in English so that the audience can understand it. When the background French characters are saying things that do not contribute to the story, it remains in unsubtitled French. Of course, this brings us to the moments where the characters speaking French or English is of significant importance to the plot (the supermarket scene). So, the trope is averted for that scene, however in the rest of the film there is a lot of French without subtitles, very noticeable when there is the speech in English of what would likely be spoken in French (if the film world were realistic).
