Narrative:

Holding short of runway 22R at ewr. We had been holding short for about 15 mins, our call was company afob. Another company flight, agob, was landing on runway 22L. An ATR42 was cleared for departure in front of us. After the ATR42 was airborne, company agob was cleared for landing. When I heard 'ag' I let my aircraft roll forward anticipating my call sign for departure. When I realized the call sign was 'ag' and not 'af' I stopped the aircraft, but the nose was about 10-15 ft past hold short line. I notified tower I was past hold short. They instructed another commuter to go around (who was about 1 mi out). Tower then cleared us into position and then for takeoff. Aircraft did not get close to runway in use, but nose was across hold short line. Main gear was still short of hold short line.
