Cultural Tip
In Brazil, saying 'Bom dia' is expected until about 12 p.m.; after that people switch to 'Boa tarde'. When introducing yourself on the phone, Brazilians often say the greeting first, then the name, just like in this sentence. Using the definite article 'a' before a female name is standard and sounds natural.
