My wife related the following story to me about our five year old son:
Every morning as he gets on the bus to go to cheder, she gives him the following blessing: "Bye, you should be matzliach (successful)!"
She told me that a few days ago, as he got onto the bus, the non-Jewish bus driver said to him, "Good morning 'Youshouldbematzliach'!"
Apparantly he thought that was our son's name.
When I heard the story I made a little tefillah that IY"H his name should always be a blessing!

I doubt he thought that was your son's name.
He probably was just saying what he heard in Hebrew that is obviously meaningful to your son. Like the non-Jewish teacher in my school that responds to How R U? and says Boruch Hashem.
That was not her present sense impression, but thank you for the idea!
Very sweet.
