Did I miss something ?

I'm trying to find something out about an event that's going on in a very small remote community soon. These are the conversations I've had over the last few days.

Phone call #1.

Insert phone greeting part. 'I'm trying to find something out about X, can you tell me who I need to talk to?'

'Oh, you'll have to talk to Jack. You'll find him on this number.'

Phone call #2.

'Hi, insertphonegreetingandexplanationpart. So is Jack available ?'

'No, he's not. But ring this number tomorrow and ask for Wayne.'

But I thought I was asking for Jack?

'Ask for Wayne?'

'Yes.'

Phone call #3

'Hi, insertphonegreetingandexplanationpart. So is Wayne around?'

'No, you'll catch Jack down at the workshop.'

Either these people are messing with my brain, or everyone has two names.
