Hello Garth~

I would use their last name with title. If they say please call me by my first name, then I would.
Have a great Wednesday Garth.

Best,
Patricia

Which is kind of odd because men’s names are more frequently duplicated. In our Scout troop, we have a plethora of Jims, Daves, and Kevins for some reason. I think most women tend to be a little more bland when you meet them, so they don’t make a strong impression. Those who aren’t bland – say you meet a lady with bright pink hair – she is much more memorable.

One tip I have heard is to link someone’s name to a person you already know with that name. So if you meet a Tammy, think of a Tammy that you already know and that will reinforce the name for you. I am getting better, but women’s names are still a bit of a stumbling block for me.

How do you refer to a doctor who says his/her first name when the introduction is made? I have been sticking with thier first name and not including thier title, is this a prudent move?

Hello Robin,

A person with a title should be addressed with their title unless advised otherwise .
So happy you enjoyed the post .
My best,
Patricia

The only time that would seem appropriate is if that person specifically asked you by saying something like, “My name is ——, but you can call me.” There was a man I worked with who would shorten my name and it drove me crazy.
What about titles (Dr., Judges, military personnel)? How should a person with a title be addressed?
Thanks for all the pointers, Patricia.
