Of course are also several "unusual factors" take into account in my case
(a) I live in hippy Ann Arbor
(b) My kids go to a school where all teachers are addressed by their first names.
(c) My parents (and their peers) were teenagers (in the UK) in the 60s, and I (like most of my friends) was brought up to refer to most of my parents friends by their first names. It was pretty new and shocking to the previous generation then, but that was the whole point. It would just be weird to go back to last names and honorary titles.
