Do you ever call somebody by their Last name?

[Muffinnz 3,219]

Only formally, like teachers or a boss (most of the time they liked using their first). As for me everybody calls me by my first name because no one can pronounce it.

Does calling @Totally Lyra "Lyra" count?

Back in high school, I had to address teachers by their last name (and their title), otherwise it's considered disrespectful.

Nope. But way back when I was 5 or 6 I used to have an embarrassing habit of calling people by the entirety of their full name, because that's how I believed referring to someone worked.

If we're talking about only using the last name, no titles like Dr., Mr., etc., then there's only one person I refer to that way. A friend I made in college and still talk to regularly. If we include titles, then there's a few, like my company's owner.

Oh, and of course @Mr. Horse!

In correspondence with people I work with in a professional setting but don't know personally, like clients, yes. Other than that, not really.

I know a few school staff who I refer to their first name which seems fine to them. 
 

I wonder when I get to be adult and never going to school anymore, I could still refer to my former teachers by their last name.

No that feels very weird over here so its normal to use first name

[Clawdeen 14,199]

Mine was a nickname for me at my old job by my friends who just really liked my last name. Normally it’s people who arent well liked that get referred to by their last name. Around here it is anyway. If somebody around here  is using your last name to speak of you most the time it’s out of disrespect.

I'm really bad at learning names so most of the time I can't even remember their first name, let alone their last name 

[Astralshy 26,705]

For friends, family etc I use the first name. People I don't know I'd use the last name. This has something to do with familiarity and I would never address a stranger with this their first name (if I know it in the first place). But in general people are quickly offering the first name basis, so this is normally a only very tiny time window.

Usually used if we want to mock someone or kid around. Or getting scold..... Especially when your whole name is casted. You dead.

No. I kinda find it weird and maybe a little bit awkward

[The Kaeya Simp 13,988]

i don't, on occasion you'll hear people calling people by their last name in casual conversation (Irish influence ig)

like just instead of someone (lets say "John Doe") being called john, sometimes they'd be called doe or doey

I think I only do that with characters.

I never did. The idea of calling people by their last names was always strange for me. I don't get why doing that is so formal. 

It's acknowledging the family... Very respectable...unless that person hates that family....
