# in this class i'm going to extract the user's name and save it as a variable, so Samantha can respond by invoking the user's name if she so wishes.
# if i were more sophisticaed at ruby, i would give the user three or four options of their names, as friends in real life call each other by multiple nicknames.  
# then i would randomize, via Ruby (Math.random?) the names so Samantha responds with any of the random names in her responses.  i know i can create an array of names with ruby, and then randomly pick elements of the array.
