It is impossible to dynamically set the value of the "name" attribute of
xsl:call-template -- its type is QName, which is a special kind of constant
(known at compile-time) string.

The same effect can be accomplished using xsl:apply-templates.

for this you need the Exslt dyn:evaluate() extension function -- implemented
only by a few XSLT processors. Probably a better approach is to evaluate the
expression outside the transformation and pass the result as a parameter to
the transformation.
