By the time a baby begins to speak their first words, they are often taught their parents names.
At this time, they would usually be in what was called a nursery. A place supervised by adult staff to ensure the safety of the kids whilst their parents were absent.
In this case, for orphaned kids like Aetri; she would spend her days cooped up in the nursery with the female staff. Instead singing nursery rhymes and simple church hymns.
Instead of citing names fit for no parents at all, Aetri was instead taught the ten commandments from the moment she could speak.
"God says, You shall have no other Gods before me..."
They were feeding words into her mouth.

Aetri creaked open her eyes. Her senses calling her awake from what felt like a deep slumber.
It was a Sunday and her foster parents would be up soon. That way, they could ensure that she was already awake and ready for church at nine.
That was what was meant to happen. Her foster mother had even given her the car keys the night prior since Aetri was only recently learning to drive. Sunday would have been the perfect day to practise her driving. The church was only three streets down from her house.
Only, that couldn't happen because Aetri was meant to be dead.
