I don't call mine anything. It's an overall issue with me. I consider calling people by their first names to be an intimate and therefore rude thing, which I know intellectually is ridiculous and counter to reality in this day and age.
Oddly I don't have that problem in writing, or with last names.
My therapist tells me that when I say his name, he knows I'm about to say something that is really important to me.
