It only changes one thing though: in the scenario where I ask if she might, "drop the incorrect [sic] notation," the answer would be no. She'd have to add one of her own.

And Alice is rather a boring name (now you know I'm going to meet a really interesting person named Alice soon and will have to kick myself for saying this). So I decided to pick some more interesting names, which sticking with the alphabetic progression so that the aficionados of Alice and Bob would recognize the pattern. As you did.
