Comma with names

How are commas handled with names in a full sentence?

Example:

Thanks, Paul.


Thanks, Paul for the signed copies.

or

Thanks, Paul, for the signed copies.

Which is accurate? Only the last two sentences I am wondering about. Thanks!

  

Top answer

Thanks, Paul, for the signed copies. This is correct. If you have only one comma, the first one, it seems like you are trying to make a sentence that reads "Paul for the signed copies," and that wouldn't make sense.
