Narrative:

We had one flight attendant stay with our crew and one called in sick in the middle of the duty day. We pen and inked the change that occurred with the new flight attendant joining the crew. However; the second flight attendant was supposed to swap as well and the new flight attendant was on the release; a fact that was missed by the flight crew on the release. The second flight attendant whom had been flying with us all along was 'X;' but the release had him listed as 'Y.' 'Y' never joined the crew. The paperwork was double checked enroute and the error was noticed. The fact that both flight attendants were in error was missed by the flight crew in trying to achieve an on time departure. The captain showed up as I was calling scheduling 10 mins prior to departure; leaving me little time to review the release in his possession. Dispatch was notified of the error via ACARS. Dispatch and crew scheduling should be in better communication as to whom is working the flight.
