that happen to me when i first started dating again. It only happened once but i felt awful. It really was a habbit and i didn't even notice it came out until i heard it leave my lips. How longs was it since they broke up?

Sometimes if you have been with someone for a while you get so use to saying that person's name. It may mean simply that. When my second son was born I kept calling him by my first son's name several times because he was the baby. They are only sixteen months apart.
Therefore my point is if this woman was a big part of her life it is easy to slip up and accidently say her name. If he gives you no other reason to make you think he isn't totally into you then I would not worry. Remember she is an ex for a reason.

It could be one of two things. It may have happened because he is just used to saying her name. He was married to her once before and has probably said her name millions of times before he met you, and is used to calling his significant other by that name (until you came along of course). If it just happened once, cut him some slack. It doesn't necessarily mean that he is thinking about her and is still in love with her.
Of course, the other possibility is that his ex-wife is still on his mind and that he is still thinking about her and may possibly still have feelings for her. The best thing to do here is to confront him about it in a non-threatening way. He'll probably lie about it to avoid any arguments (because that's just how men are), but hopefully you know him well enough to be able to tell if he's lying or not.

It's one of those brain things. It's programed a certain way or has a habit and sometimes these mental habits are hard to break. My boyfriend sometimes calls me by his ex's name and I sometimes call him by my late husband's name. We talk about it and we know that we really aren't thinking about the other person, it's just sometimes our brains can't let go of that information. Like I said, just a bad (mental) habit.

It means he called you by his ex-wife's name. If there's no other indication that he's still hung up on her, I would blow it off.

If it's only happened once, it means nothing. If you agonize over it, and analyze it to death, you'll drive yourself crazy and stress your relationship.
If it happens over and over, he's either teasing you, or he's got her on his mind for some reason. That still may not be a bad thing, only that he's thinking about her. He might be mad at her, for example.

doesn't have to mean anything if you don't make it into something...he had a life with her at one point, it happens.
If you make an issue out of it, act jealous, insecure, upset...it cancause a problem in your relationship...
if you tease him, make light of it, and act secure...things will be fine...
your choice.

This guy is NOT over his ex, keep a watchful eye and ear on him.
