    Anyone else feel weird when...

    You are called by your last name? I always feel kind of weird, even if it's at a bank or what have you. I hate when people just call you by your last name with out a Mr. in front of it.

    First name basis for me.

    Not at all...I thought it was a guy thing to use last names, and I'm used to it. In sports people always seemed to use last names (especially when there are multiple people with the same first name). Now I'm used to people using my first name more, but hearing my last name isn't weird for me.

      Yeah, it's definitely more than a little weird... it's like, "Am I playing football and I wasn't nofitied that you are now my coach?" Can't say that it's happened to me though... I mostly get called "Richard" due to my last name (Prichard) being similar to that and my first name barely qualifying as a first name by most standards (two-letter names often get mistaken for initials, especially in junk mailings)... Otherwise I can't say that it's happened since I was playing football in middle school ha.

        I'm used to it especially since my last name isn't common.

          Maybe it's because I have a stupid last name. It's Irwin and I remember a Andre Dice Clay standup where he was talking about the names of men when women screw them and he was making of fun of non manily names. He was like, can you imagine being a woman and moaning out "Ooooh Irwin". He said guys named Irwin probably have small ones. Maybe it dates way back.

          I dunno too much!

                        I knew that one drunk night we spent together would come back to haunt me one way or another.

                          Depends, when I'm called by my real last name, which is extremely hard to pronounce for non-Italians, it is always fudged up, making it sound really weird, thus making me uncomfortable.

                          I like being called by my first name Joe, though some people call me James.

                            No one calls me by my last name... it's a difficult to pronounce Italian name with a bunch of Z's. My first name (Geno) is rare enough that few mistakes are ever made.

                            I guess they probably do it at banks and stuff, but no one gets it right, so I'm used to correcting people or just saying "eh, close enough."

                              I get called by the last name all the time. In fact, i hear at least once a week (no exaggeration) that my name sounds like either A) a porn name or B) an movie star name
