I don't know if this is a figure of speech or you were actually waiting for them to call your name. If it was the latter, just for future reference, they don't call your name. In MEM, they announce the flight number, destination and bus stop at which to meet the crew. If you wait for them to call you personally, you'll miss every j/s.
