    if somebody called you and asked for your name, would you have given it?

    It was polite to answer a phone by saying “X residence, Y speaking” or “[businessname], good day”. Picking up the phone and going “hello?” without saying the “identifier” of the phone you’re picking up was utterly rude back in landline times.
