      Re: Anyone else feel weird when...

      I tend to forget what my first name is. Almost everyone calls me by my last name, with the exception of my family and girlfriend. It ended up being that way, since there are so many Nick's around. Heck, my roommate's name is also Nick, along with a co-worker in the office. It's a little weird for my bosses to call me by my last name but I don't mind at all.

      Funny story...In college, on our football team as a freshman, there were 4 Nicks, 2 Tylers, 3 Ryans, 3 Aarons, 3 Davids, 2 Zachs, 2 Adams, 4 Andrews, 3 Joes, 2 Kyles, 3 Johns, 3 Matts, 2 Adams, and 2 Kyles. Plus to make it more confusing, there was a Nick Lucey, Nick Leute, Zac Luce, Tyler Luke. It's amazing to learn everyone's name by the end of that season.

            First name basis for me.
            Not really, throughout High School and College rarely did I or any of my guy friends call each other by our first name. As far as guys were concerned, we all called each other by our last names. And our girlfriends always asked why. Because if we had 3 Matts or 3 Daves or 3 Joes in the room, we knew who the hell we were talking about.

                Never. John is a very common name, so everyone usually just calls me by my last name.

                  I used to hate it when I was younger, but I've grown numb to it.

                    Never bothered me but I was called by my last name by just about everyone in school. I think everyone in school calls my brother by the last name, too. Don't really why.

                      Most people just call me D-Rich (name: Dave Richardson).

                        I was called by my last name all through high school while playing football and now I usually am called by my last name at work. So I am kind of used to it I guess.

But all my military friends, co-workers etc its all on a last name basis.
                          Same here. You definitely get used to it...especially in that environment. It gets to the point where you are so used to it you'll answer to your last name quicker than you will to your first.

                          Even my wife would jokingly call me by my last name a lot. In fact after 10 years of service, it felt odd hearing my first name so much after I got out...lol. Ironic.

                              People call me by my first name but I'm used to using people's last name from playing football. Sometimes it really seems like people are only identified by their last name while playing sports lol.

                                I don't mind if they call me by my last name.

                                The thing that got old as time went on was jokes about my last name, Wright, people would say "Mr. Wrong" or "You're always wright" or something to that extent. I don't get mad about it, I'm just like "Very original, I've never heard that one" in a sarcastic tone. I can't get mad at people because it's not like they've known me my whole life, but can't someone be a little more original?
