AppleScript uses "the-person", but I don't recommend that :)
I'd go for one of two avenues — descriptive:
(let [recipient (struct person "John")
sender (struct person "Bill")]
...)
or abbreviated:
(let [pers (struct person "John")]
...)
possibly even dropping to 'p' if the function is short enough.
The reasoning is that John isn't just a person, they're a person in a
*context* — you're sending them an email, adding them to an address
book — or you're doing something so general that pseudo-algebraic
notation (x, y, z) is appropriate.
The other approach is to not need to name your instances at all. Keep
things short and higher-order enough and you'll only ever need to pass
them as parameters.
