This is called a "slip of the tongue" and usually happens when you are concentrating so hard about what you are going to say next that you forget to tell your brain what to say now! It's very common. You most often hear this from a parent who is so angry that they can't say the right name of the child they're fussing at!

This could happen due to a slip of the tongue or confusion, especially if the names are similar in sound or appearance. It might also be a result of distraction or having multiple people in your social circle with similar names.
