I just rewatched AOTC, and near the beginning, there is a scene on Coruscant where they are discussing who might be of help to the Republic, and I swear that someone mentions a Bail Antilles. Is Bail the first name of Captain Antilles, or did they mess up and accidentally say Bail Antilles instead of Bail Organa? Can someone with a copy of the movie please clear this up for me?

I noticed that when I was reading TPM as well. Palpatine says his competition for the chancellor position included Bail Antilles of Alderaan. I propose the following hypotheses - Bail is the Aldaraanian equivalent of John, Bail is an honorific title, somebody made a mistake and nobody had the bollocks to say anything.

Lucas has said that 'Antilles' is the Star Wars equivilent of Smith or Jones - a very common, generic name. Bail might just be a popular name on Alderaan. At any rate, none of the Antilles in Star Wars are related, and niether are the two Bails. There was no mistake.

Of course, this is just Lucas being unimaginative. He wanted to include the name Antilles in The Phantom Menace, and he decided to throw in an Alderaan reference too. However this stupid name came about, I'm not a huge fan of it.

Very interesting. I just can't believe they fucked the line in the movie, though. At least that is how it seems to me.
