Pretty much this..... I always use my partners name and I always confirm any call of safe before taking somebody off belay.

Of course sometimes communication becomes impossible. Best to agree on an approach beforehand and err on the side of caution. Don't go off belay until there is no more rope left if you can't confirm a safe call. As a second you just have to trust that you partner is either belaying or you are simul climbing because he ran out of rope!
