I'm absolutely in the same boat. Even when I absolutely know someone's name, I almost never use it. I think it's odd that most people I work with just shout my name at me when I walk in the door.

Right? The only situation I enjoy hearing my name is in an emotionally charged interaction. Even then it's only going to give me fuzzy feelings when a romantic partner says it... In all other contexts I'm at best going to think it was appropriate

My name gets my attention in a very visceral way, don't demand even more of my attention while we're talking if you're not about to say something important
