Exactly. What difference does it make if the reservation is in your own
name? It's not like you gave them your SSN or a credit card number. It's
just a reservation. My last name is difficult to pronounce so I either know
when they call it out and they're stumbling over "Mc-Mc-Mc" they mean me, or
I just make the reservation in the name of Jill.
