Mister MicawberYou can also use the set phrase, 'Speaking.'
I also like, "Your wish has been granted".
I am a dinosaur, and do say "This is she."
You can also say "This is Barb" (although you would use your own name).
I would not say "This is her." The odd thing there is that if I knocked on someone's door and they asked "Who is it?" I would say "It's me!"
It is I.
It is me
Rule(Traditional Grammar):When a pronoun follows a linking verb(is,was) we use a subjective form rather than an objective form
For that, use:
This is he/she.
This is [name].
