@aleen The branding is a good point. I like to use first names when they are unique and more obvious than a last name alone. Examples: Hillary, LeBron. I think you're right to call out the press if they aren't consistent about this, and broadly there's probably some sexism there, but also I view it as a sign of respect. "You are the most famous person named Kamala!"
