By my reckoning, in America there’s 219 male names, but 476,814 female names and their "variants"to try to remember. I gave up 30 years ago. As one of my old First Sergeants said when struggling through the AM roll-call; “#$@**, these ain’t names, they’re DISEASES !!”
Dad told me when he was in Army during roll call, Sargent would go through roll call and when came to my dad’s last name he would not answer. The last name the Sargent called left off the S as the last name has an S in the name.The woman should only explain her name to someone who really interested not homeowners.
It has occurred to me that many phone “cold calls” now introduce themselves by name before stating for whom they are calling (if they get that far before my hang-up) – usually not. I do not pay for a device in order to facilitate strangers invading my privacy and wasting my time.
If they come to the door, the same (and I have a locked iron screen door in front of the solid door).
Meanwhile, in today’s comic, Joe and Ruthie create their own army of zombies in order to defend themselves against them. Interesting that kids often unconsciously mimic adult behavior, since so many so-called adults invent enemies that they then have to defeat…

They only need to know how to spell your name when they are making out the check. ;)

Even little Joe has to do zombies. :-)
