Why is my greeting not working correctly?

      var genericGreet = function() {
        return "Hello, my name is " + this.name;
      }

      var andrew = {
        name: "Andrew",
        greet: andrew.genericGreet,
      }

      var ryan = {
        name: "Ryan",
        greet: ryan.genericGreet,
      }
    </script>

var andrew = {
    name: "Andrew",
    greet: andrew.genericGreet
}

is incorrect. Try

var andrew = {
    name: "Andrew",
    greet: genericGreet
}

or 

var andrew = { name: "Andrew" };
andrew.greet = genericGreet;
