Do you ever get called by your last name?

[Klippy]

Sometimes. It depends on who is calling me it. XD; Some friends call me that, some use other variations.

 

[Honest]

Yep, mostly, cause I prefer my last name over my first name. : P

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.

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.

Some of my friends also call me by my full name, which I yell at them about afterword because I have a strong dislike for my last name and would much prefer to be called by my first and middle name, if I had a choice in the matter. Unfortunately, I don't. :(

 

[Luck]

Nope, my surname is so unpronounceable, even my teachers that call others by their last name call me by my first. =D

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.

 

[Spinor]

My Science teacher was once a Staff Sergeant, so he calls everybody by their last name -_-' I got used to it after a while

 

[ArcanineOod]

Only my form tutor ever uses my second name. It really doesn't bother me. It's simple and easy to pronounce.
The only time it bugs me is when people make a joke out of it. That does bother me. Quuuiiiite a lot.

But when she just calls me Miss [surname] instead of my first name, I don't care at all.
xX

 

[Synaesthesia]

Yeah, sometimes my friends call me by my last name, but very rarely. And the only teacher who calls me by my last name is my chem teacher and I don't mind it at all. It's different from all the other teachers obviously, so I kinda like it. idk. :3

 

[NarutoActor]

Yeah my chemistry teacher insist on calling me Mr. Rivera. I usually reply with Mr. Rivera is my dad. I don't like it because people will say "wait your spanish, but your so wight"

 

[TrinityLimit]

my last name is simple. my teacher sometimes calls me by it, but most of the time hes just playing around ^.^

 

[Lt_Nite]

I get called it by some friends but not many and I'll be honest I like it, but sounds weird when people I've known my whole life who've always called me by my first name call me by my last.

 

[Timbjerr]

Unless there was an honorific title attached, I don't believe I've ever been referred to by my surname...particularly because my surname is a standard word in the English language and someone would look silly using it in that context.

"Hey Black, how you doing?" XD

 

[Idiot!]

Since I have one of those given-name-last names, it's not surprising to see some of my international certificates in surname-given-name format.

 

[digi-kun]

Actually, I think I'm the one that calls people by their last name. I can never get quite a grasp on their first names and i generally call most people by nickname anyways

are people aloud to change someone elses name?

 

[Blue_Drifblim]

I don't think anbody has ever called me by my last name. It has always been my first name for me.

 

[Misheard Whisper]

OMG YES

I have a friend/acquaintance/slightly annoying person who often calls me by my last name with an -o attached, and it freaking drives me nuts.

 

[alisaie]

I think a few teachers in the past have called me by my last name. However, since my last name is also a male's first name, it's a bit weird when people call my by it, so I definitely prefer it when people call me by my first name.

 

[mikey]

Nope, I only really get called by my first name. If I were to get called by my last name, it wouldn't annoy me.

 

[Ranken]

Yeah but only the people who are not my friends called me by my surname.
