I have met her NUMEROUS times, and I know she likes me. We have been dating quite a while, and we go to visit her regularly. Granted, she was tired and stressed, and had been traveling, but still...
She caught herself and apologized, but it still freaked me out.
How to handle this?

Let it go. She was already horrified at her mistake and she apologized. It was natural that it happened. It's okay really.
Think of it this way. It could have been him screaming her name out while having sex with you! Now that would be horrible! lol.
Let it go, she sounds lovely. Enjoy her. Most people have boyfriends whose moms are jerks. have fun with her.

FORGET THIS NOW!!!!!
My mother (when she was living) would call everyone by every name until she got the right one. She would even call my wife by my daughter's name, my ex's, and sometimes the boys names before she got to hers. How old is Mom? If she is 50ish or more, you may need to have her checked for initial signs of Alzheimers. Caught early, a senior can live mentally healthy a lot longer. My Mom had it since she was in her 50's and lived until she was 86. The last couple of years was not good but the medication helped for 20+ years.
Ignore this.
P.S. I am 50 and my wife is 42 and we will call our kids everyone but the right one. Remember she dealt with HIS Ex for years. It will happen again but it is not meant to be offensive so let it go.

There is nothing to handle. It sounds like to me she apologized and you should just get over it. I know from experience it is hard to hear someone name that you don't like. I really don't think she meant anything by it and it was an accident..If she does it again, just tell her that it makes you feels uncomfortable and you would appreciate it if she didn't do it anymore...but I think it was by accident. She sounds like a nice person and I don't think she would hurt you...I also know from experience the very best thing you can do for your relationship with her son is to get alone with her, it will make your relationship so much stronger by trying to build a relationship with her..Try it , you will see....

I've call people by their wrong name all the time. My mouth moves faster than my brain and sometimes I just slip up. It isn't meant as a slight on anyone.
Since she caught herself and apologized just let it go.

I have a sister-in-law I accidentally called my brothers ex girlfriends name this was like 15 years ago and she still says I don't like her because of it. Don't take it personally I'm sure it was just a accident. People do this all the time and I don't understand why people get so offended. They act like we deliberately did this so we could make them mad or hurt them when it was just a simple slip of the tongue.

OMG, get over it! Old people do this all the time.
I have two former daughters in law. I've called my current daughter in law by my former daughter in law's name many times. It's just a simple accident. Why would this happen? Because they're all beautiful, wonderful girls!
Do not fret about this.

It doesn't mean anything. You should let it go. It use to happen to me all the time and I never took offense of it. Years later I found myself calling people by other names. No big deal really.

Just let it go -- especially seeing where she apologized.
I haven't made the mistake myself yet, but I have been close to it with my daughter and her boyfriend. She had another boyfriend for a very long time and sometimes his name just comes to mind.

Don't let it cause problems. She made an innocent mistake. If she does it over and over then you have a potential problem.
