Insecurity. So don't sweat it.
We are all like that at the start
Just a quiet "sorry" should do, till she is comfortable,
at which point she will smirk when you do that
& insist you address her, with her birth name for the rest of the day! ....if she is anything like me...

Oh, you are being a brill friend; keep doing what you are doing.
