Narrative:

Taxi from hold spot to runway 25R called for taxi clearance. Both thought we heard our flight number. First officer read back taxi instructions followed by flight number. Halfway down taxiway B, ground said the clearance was not for us. When we departed ramp and taxied on taxiway B, we did not see any other aircraft on taxiway B. No conflict occurred at any time. Controller did not seem too concerned. We continued taxi for takeoff. All was uneventful. Do not think we caused any problems.
