of a potential juror selected at random from the jury panel.

 (a) 2 or more potential jurors have the same name; and
 (b) their name is required to be called under subsection (1);
the officer of the Court must call their name and number.

 (a) excused under this Subdivision from serving on the jury; or
 (b) stood aside under section 23DZA; or
