Partner saying coworkers name in his sleep

Hey all
I may sound absolutely crazy and get some stick for this but here goes...

My partner has been at a new job for around 6 months, of course he has made some friends that are his co workers, one including a woman who is the same age as me, and he seems to like a lot as he has talked about her a good few times when talking about work. I have seen her on his social media but haven't met her.

He's actually had some holiday from work so hasn't been there for 5 days, last night I was putting our child too bed when I accidentally fell to sleep untill I heard him call and say "ladys name, are you coming in here?", it seemed as though he was awake when he said this so when I questioned him why he called me her name he said he said he was dreaming about her and can explain why he said her name, but the next day he said he don't remember saying any of it and he was asleep and sleep talking and he wont be arguing over it as I'm being pathetic. I have been really moody and off with him since.

And tbh I probably am being pathetic, so am I being unreasonable to question him as to why he got our names mixed up and why he was even thinking of her whilst in bed? As i don't know whether I sound psychopathic right now. Plus I'm pregnant so I'm possibly hormonal, and just feel fat and disgusting, and this lady is very pretty and is actually a model so maybe I'm just feeling a little insecure in myself thinking why is he thinking about her to get our names mixed up. Its actually an unusual name too.

Would you be pissed off?

I shouted out my (horrible) ex-boss's name in my sleep. Its only because I was dreaming I was sticking a knife through his heart Grin

I would feel the same. You need to decide to let it go or not, but its not worth falling out over.

I once dreamt that my lovely colleague and his wife adopted me and he was pushing me on a swing. He is old enough to be my dad but I am far from an age to be adopted.

I called my partner my dog's name once. Sometimes the wrong name just slips out.

As a kid I used to call my mum dad all the time, and dad mum.

My dad has 4 daughters and still to this day regularly gets our names mixed up.

Maybe he said it while awake and is too embarrassed to admit it? And even if so it doesn't really matter and tbh I'd have just laughed.
