Why is the last name required in leads

Why is the last name required in leads

I have a company that I wish to call, but I don't know anyone there, and I'm calling to find the contact person. It's a lead, but without a contact name. What do I do, just put "None" in the last name? Seems kind of retarded. Or is there another way to do this? I want to enter 50 company names today (Saturday) and schedule calls throughout next week.
