To matters worse when I called her to apologize and ask her to come home I called her Cindy (my exes name).I'm horrible with names including that sound the same. She call me a jerk and hung up on me. I haven't heard her since. Are we over? I really miss her! How can I make it up to her? Reply to this Question

 ouch!!! I don't think she'l ever let you off the hook with that one,but if your a smoothie and got some cash,I'l sign in with a nice big gift,or some tickets to Chris Brown @ the o2 next month...
All you can do is beg forgiveness,tell her how much she means to you..and if you don't want to lose the girl stop what ever your doing thats making you forget these t issues,but such is life,I'm not going to lie i've done it a few times myself...Its really going to be about how understanding she really is..

...oh man! Let me just say this first... there are probably three things that women around the world really hate... and you jumped squarely on two of them, back-to-back I might add -- forgetting her name and forgetting her birthday... actually twice... oh boy...
But, there's probably still hope for you, but be prepared to do something REALLY creative to make up for it... suggestions? Can you cook? Make her a fabulous dinner... something really romantic (including music... something really romantic there too -- cater to her tastes even if you hate it!)... Can you sing? Serenade her! Without filling your head with too much stuff, think fast and get on it immediately -- DO NOT LET THIS FESTER! It's New Year's and if you time this right, you might recover for that midnight kiss!
As for you and your future... I seriously recommend that you get a Google GMail account and turn on the Calendar -- have it send you warnings for all her important dates (birthday, anniversary, EVERYTHING important)... and set it to email you two weeks in advance so you never forget another date again... the next time you might not be so lucky... you only get 3 strikes in baseball! ...and with girlfriends!

 Well, she has a right to be mad over something like this, and I'm not sure a simple apology is going to make things right again. Whether or not the two of you are "over" depends on whether or not she will forgive you for this. Sydney and Cindy may sound alike but if this is a girl you've been dating for FOUR YEARS, I think you owe it to her to make whatever effort it takes for you not to call her by the name of another girl you last dated at least four years ago. Same goes for remembering her birthday.
Leave her an apology on her voicemail if she won't pick up her phone. Write her a card explaining how special she is to you and leave it on her doorstep with flowers, or something similar. You need to show her you are genuinely contrite and won't make these mistakes again, or she will think she is foolish to stay with someone who doesn't appear to care about her. Good luck.
