Narrative:
Air carrier XXX called and requested departure. Controller heard [a company] air carrier xyx. Controller had air carrier xyx on a clearance and hold for release from ZZZ1 airport. Air carrier XXX had a clearance and hold for release from ZZZ2 airport. The air carrier said departing runway 17; controller cleared air carrier xyx right turn heading 350; released for departure; with a time check and a void time of XA35. A few minutes later; controller heard the air carrier call; and the air carrier asked verify the heading of 350; controller said affirmative; then noticed that air carrier xyx did not tag up at ZZZ1 airport; but that air carrier XXX tagged up at ZZZ2 airport. Controller called radar; and instructed air carrier XXX to immediately turn left heading 170; then later heading 065; and then direct cluts; the rest of flight uneventful. Air carrier xyx called for release a few minutes later and flight was uneventful. This happened during the mid shift. Controller should have caught the wrong call sign; and the pilot should not have accepted the release for departure; because controller did not use his callsign.
