I always, always use names and I always always ask for confirmation. I don't care if I can see the climber, I won't take somebody off belay unless I here confirmation with my name.
That has little to no relevance in the typical lowering-vs-rappelling miscommunication accident. It's not a question of who said "off belay"; it's that the climber didn't understand what "off belay" means in the first place.
