Sometimes. It depends on who is calling me it. XD; Some friends call me that, some use other variations.
My American History teacher my sophomore year also did that to the students in his class. He was a very respectable teacher, who was about to retire shortly afterward, and has been a teacher of our school ever since it was opened. He referred to all of his students in a polite and respectable manner by proper titles, such as Mister and Miss along with his student's last names. I only had him as an instructor for about two-three months until I had to rearrange my schedule for that year and I was stuck with another teacher.I actually had a World History teacher in my Sophomore year of high school (10th grade), he used to refer to me and basically the entire class by our last names. It never used to annoy me really, but he was the only one to ever call me by my last name. Everyone else would mostly refer to me by my nickname, Shivi or on occasions, Shivanan. However, since finishing that class no one ever calls me by my last name.
I don't have any problem being called out by my first or last name, both if preferred. However, the only name I keep from telling people is my middle name. I personally don't like it, and I'm glad rarely anyone knows it to call me by it.
Well, the Canadian immigration office graciously switched my first name with one of my middle names and deleted another, so I guess people call me by my middle name when I first meet them (usually a teacher). I then proceed to ask them to call me by my first name, which is far easier to pronounce in Anglicized spelling.
As for my last name, I rarely get called that, even by a teacher.
