I thought you said the bug was the name was Tamar. The order of doing events has nothing to do with progressing the flashback (at least it’s not supposed to). You just have to do 3/4 of the available events, I believe.
The name is supposed to show up like that. Reloading the game shouldn’t change that. If it did, that would be the bug. As I explained, the name you give her is an alias. Also there should be no loop, it’s just how the game works, you spend a few days living the character’s old life before moving on.
