   I feel like you are asking if people refer to you by your last name, but this question makes me think of my family and how everyone is referred to by a nickname. This goes beyond my immediate family and includes grandparents, uncles, etc. I had to learn these nicknames when I was quite young because we don't use given names anymore. For instance, an uncle is "Black Cloud" because he is usually telling depressing stories.

   Well my kids call me mom, my husband calls me Mo which is not my name--in fact I have no idea where that nickname came from.  If you mean people close to me that call me a more formal name, than no.

   Most of my family calls me a variation of my first name or my nickname that I've had since I was a baby. I'm so used to being called some kind of nickname I sometimes forget what it sounds like when someone calls me by my real name.

   I have tons of "nick names" that I go by, very rarely does anyone call me by my full first name...
   My first name being Katrina ~ my usual names that I am called by are:
   Kat
   Kate
   Katy
   Mom
   Rosebud
   
   Other names I've been called in the past (which I responded to)
   
   Half pint
   Shorty
   Red
   Norm
   Freckles
   Cherry
   
   So there you have it.  It's actually very unusual for someone to call me by my name & it usually makes me feel like I'm in trouble when they do

   None of my family calls me by my first name, only my nickname.  However friends and co-workers do call me by my first name.   I remember back when I was in high school and a relative come stay with us for a while.  Shortly after they moved in many of my friends began to ask me if my phone number had changed.  Apparently every time a friend would call the house and ask for me by my first name, my cousin would tell the caller they had the wrong number. Lol

    I have many nicknames and through my various job I also have different titles so many people address me differently all the time.
    My wife even has some special nicknames for me like slick, opa, dufus, and slowpoke depending on her point of view.
    But, they always make sure that I am called to breakfast, lunch, and dinner on time.
