Whoa–I wasn’t excepting so many reponses. . . I’ll try to address them the best I can.  
First of all, I’m not planning on marrying this boy, or having his children. I really like him, but I’m only 20 years old.  
And if this had happened while he was getting off, I wouldn’t think much of it. I once screaming “Kate Swift”, the name of the school teacher from _Winesburg, Ohio_ while having an orgasm. We had been fooling around for awhile before this happened. but his brain was working (I assume).  
And it wasn’t an intense hideous pain, just something I didn’t want to deal with for the next fifteen minutes. Yes, fifteen minutes–give him a break, he’s only 20, too.  
I’m sure the Emily is his sister. We really don’t know any other Emilys.  
He always calls me by my correct name. In fact. he’s been known to call Katies and Donnas by my name. I’ve never heard him call anyone Emily.  
My mother often calls me by my brother’s name.  
Anyway, the “vunerable and needing comfort” theory seems to be making the most sense. In, fact, that’s what I’m going to write this off as. I don’t want to talk to him about it, because he was clearly embarrassed at the time.

So there I was, a snotty college girl, _in flagrante delicto_, when I said: “You know, I just realized that all the tri-Delts have really big butts.”

The relationship didn’t last long. And yes, I’m ashamed of thinking that way.

~~Look, Emily is not his sister.

at the beauty salon at the mall…

Maybe he had a temporary ego inflation and _really_ said…

“It’s okay–don’t be sorry, _I’m a tree_.”

My former girlfried once called out my sister’s name duing sex. That was kindof weird.

I’m going with the situational hypothesis.

I say this, because I do it too. Not during sex, of course, but if someone is annoying me, I call them Robert (my younger brother), or of someone is being impervious to logic I call them Jaime (a friend of mine).

It’s just that I get so used to yelling out their names when I’m annoyed in the situation, it comes naturally.

Heh. My brother told me that his wife once called out my name during sex. His wife confirms this. I wouldn’t worry about it.

I call my husband by my brother’s name and vice versa quite often (I don’t call out names at all during sex, so that’s not a problem). My theory is that it’s because they’re the only two men I’ve ever lived with.

Sounds like _someone_ has some serious issues to deal with…  
**TYG** , don’t worry about it, if it hasn’t been correlated with any other strange behaviour I’m sure it’s just a slip of the tongue.

I did something like that once, while apologizing to a girlfriend, I called her an ex-girlfriend’s name.

I guess it’s because I used to apologize to the ex all the time for stupid stuff she would get mad at me about.

I’d go with the “he’s used to telling his sister to not be sorry” explanation.

One of my sisters has had three consecutive relationships with guys named “Terry,” which is my late brother’s name. Now, that _is_ creepy.

My mother, even though she came from a family of five “J-” kids and two “J-” parents, gave the three of us “Al-” names. Does she slip and call me by the names of brother “Al-” or sister “Al-”? No. She calls me Julie. Julie was the dog. She’s been dead for six years.

Thanks for setting that straight, masked mod. I didn’t notice… Uh, I was brushing my teeth or something at the time. I hope the _non sequiter_ wasn’t too disturbing wherever it showed up.

My Mom does that, and we call it the same thing. It’s gotten to the point where neither of us comments on it if she calls me by my brother’s name, we both know who she meant.

As to the ‘capture’ thing, I do that as well. Since getting married I have caught myself almost saying ‘I love you’ when saying goodbye to someone, probably because I always say that to my wife when ending a phone call or going away.

</div>

Well the **kabbess** has the _same name_ as my little sister. Thus strictly speaking I frequently call out my little sister’s name at all kind of inopportune moments.

Hey - it’s just a name. It’s not the person.

On the actual subject of the OP - capture. That explains a lot. I do the same as **Badtz** - adding “honey” or “I love you” in situations where I would say it automatically to the **kabbess** regularly. I’ve even called my mum “darling”. Very embarassing, but entirely explainable.

In fact, my old housemate got so used to me calling the **kabbess** “hon”, that he once called her that too. There was a moment’s tension, then he rather wittily said “well I thought that was your name now”. Way to defuse the situation, dude! Much laughter and all was cool.

I don’t really care whose name she yells out while having sex with me, as long as she’s not yelling my name while having sex with someone else.

But I gotta admit that this Mexican guy named Haysoos really gets around. Most of the ladies that I’ve been lucky enough to share a bed with have yelled his name out, or a variation of it. He must have some real good technique to be that popular…
