Yes, I agree with you, and that is the way I have always done it.
Including the place name is, I believe, a good thing in the first call, as it helps with the situational awareness of others and even helps ATC as they know exactly where to look (especially in these days of huge sectors).
Trouble is not that many follow up with the second call !
It all goes back to training and an understanding of how the system works (or should work!)
The training and examination on airspace participation is just not good enough and there is certainly no standardisation of those that do the training!
Airmanship comes in this discussion as well... pity they don't teach that any more!!
