Last names are not used. Using a first name doesn't allow anybody to know anything about a person or where they live or what they do. It is indeed anonymous.

That is a simple way of taking the first step each time you say something in the group.
Also it keeps everyone equal.

Ha! Excellent question, and I don't have the answer. I guess you could make one up, right?

I think it is because what is said there is supposed to stay confidential.

it's not really a role call, its just to make sure you can recall your name.
