wrong name
Called someone else
Wrong name is what you've used when you call someone or something by a name that isn't theirs.
The phrase appears in apologies and corrections: Sorry, I called you by the wrong name.
It also describes misfiled documents, mislabeled packages, or identity mix-ups: The reservation was under the wrong name.
To call someone the wrong name during intimate moments is a particular kind of blunder.
