Narrative:
I was working local control. Small aircraft X touch and go on runway 36. Air carrier Y sequenced to follow touch and go small aircraft X. Air carrier Y cut in too close. I told small aircraft X to side-step the runway (to be sure separation was maintained). However, I used the incorrect call sign for the small aircraft X. After no reply and non compliance, I realized I had used the wrong call sign. At this point, there was 6000 ft between the 2 aircraft anyway, so air carrier Y was cleared to land. No loss of separation occurred.

Title: CTLR CALLED SMA X BY WRONG CALL SIGN POSSIBLE LTSS WITH ACR Y.
Narrative: I WAS WORKING LCL CTL. SMA X TOUCH AND GO ON RWY 36. ACR Y SEQUENCED TO FOLLOW TOUCH AND GO SMA X. ACR Y CUT IN TOO CLOSE. I TOLD SMA X TO SIDE-STEP THE RWY (TO BE SURE SEPARATION WAS MAINTAINED). HOWEVER, I USED THE INCORRECT CALL SIGN FOR THE SMA X. AFTER NO REPLY AND NON COMPLIANCE, I REALIZED I HAD USED THE WRONG CALL SIGN. AT THIS POINT, THERE WAS 6000 FT BTWN THE 2 ACFT ANYWAY, SO ACR Y WAS CLRED TO LAND. NO LOSS OF SEPARATION OCCURRED.
