As it stands, your sentence doesn't hold much accurate semantic meaning. We only use the comma if the name of the person used is the person being addressed. For example;

"Noodle, it's really not worth trying to argue about this. The OP probably won't even come back" or
"Don't egg them on, Robhol."
Ah, yeah, that makes a lot more sense. Thank you, Columbine!
