If, for example, Anna gave reasons why she hated the name "Jill" but preferred the name "Jack," she should then stop and let you respond. If she has gone through ten different names before giving you the chance to respond, then it's natural that you'll have the desire to interrupt for fear that your responses will no longer be relevant. (Of course, if she was practicing this to begin with, then, yeah, dude, you've got a problem...) I think, too, there is a responsibility on the person speaking to *take pause* in-between topics.
