Yep!  I thought it was that too until I read the official lyrics 8-)
Seemed a bit strange but then all Calvert's stuff has hidden edges that
you don't discover until later and I simply assumed there was sommat
deeply significant that I'd missed......   Actually, at the time there
was an American song being played a lot on the radio where this guy
was giving advice about the best way of making an impression with your
girl during a date so that you eventually invite her back to your house
and you have coffee and things go on from there (maybe it wasn't a song,
it was more a recital while the "Stars and Stripes" sounded in the
background).   Anyhow the final dramatic climax as the "Stars and
Stripes" reached its climactic end was a great sigh and he says "That
was my mother's name".

Yes, well.   Ahem, anyhow, back to the matter in hand.   After listening
to that lot, somehow Calvert's line didn't seem so wierd as it might
have been - but "another's name" is much more reasonable under the
circumstances I guess - though I'm mildly curious to know where an
android replica could have been unfaithful if she'd been in space with
him all this time.    Or  maybe she was a cheap reconstituted model that
was reverting to past memories from buried cybermemories.

Or maybe I'm just havering.....


night all  8-)
