In the Yekkish Kehilla I grew up in (Adas Yeshurun of Jo'burg) the
Gabbai gave out 2 card with Shevi'i and Maftir to 2 people before
Krias HaTora.
The Baal Zegen then simply called up "Yaamod Shevi'i/Maftir" with no
other identifying details.
Everybody else was callde up as Ploni ben Almoni besides for me who
was called up with "Yaamod Doniel Yissochor B'ni" and my Opa who was
callde up as "Yaamod Ovi Mori Halevi" :-)
(I don't recall my Dad adding "HaLevi" to my name, but it's been
almost 3 decades...)
