That doesn't have to be inconsistency - that could actually be very conistant with her character.
She drops impressive names (whether she knew them or not I can see her doing it either way.) - but in that moment isn't thinking about the way that would age her.
She doesn't want to admit her age (assuming that she really was alive at that time) and so by denying being alive then - lies about her age because that is her focus of thought.
