Narrative:
Aircraft Y requested climb from FL370 to FL390. I looked at the data block for aircraft Z; about 60 miles behind aircraft Y; thinking this was the aircraft requesting higher. I assessed the traffic situation for aircraft Z; and issued a climb to aircraft Y. I was alerted to the loss of separation via conflict alert and traffic aircraft X who was at FL380 opposite direction.
