It sounds to me that he's in-secure, worried that you'll move on, leave him one day... That's the only conclusion I can make if it's been two years and Brad is a friend of both of yours, mind you I would have told him you mean't BRAD PITT

Look, the only thing you need to do is be honest, talk things out when things happen, communicate your love for each other and that's it..

There is no "making it up" and spending the next few weeks, fussing all over him, it will mean every time you do something he doesn't like, you think you have to be extra good/nice and he expects it..

On the other hand, making him know he's loved, will ease him off this insecure path he's on whilst keeping your assertiveness, and therefore always allowing you to be you, no matter what that is... We don't change for people unless it's hurting them and we want to, if a "name" slips out that's not hurting him, that's scarying him of you leaving which is insecurity...

I think that in a relationship, each partner should be willing to give the other a "pass" for accidental mistakes. He should laugh off this, and you should laugh off the next time he says something unintentional that otherwise would have offended you.

I'm very bad with names and have been very close to calling partners by a wrong name (at various times and random names, not necessarily names of past sex partners). Recently I've noticed that I almost never call a man I'm in a relationship with by his name, probably because I'm too conscious of the possibility of getting their name wrong by accident.

Your boyfriend must be understanding to you, the brain is still a mystery to science. He should trust you're not cheating on him based on several examples of what you do and who you are, not suspect you're cheating on him because of a name. If he trusted you he'd know it was not a big deal.
