I'm happy with my name, once someone is introduced to me. Even among fellow believers I am not a fan of "brother" as it tends to formalize what should be a growing family relationship - we are after all, family in Christ. My name has a job, put it to work.
I do understand that in certain settings there is an appropriate level of decorum. So employees may call me "Mr" or "sir." A young man may refer to his new girlfriends, ex-rugby star dad as "sir" or even "milord" (depending on his "fear-o-meter"). The girls father may draw a quizzical look from the lad as he calls the youngster "your dieness." Picture a behemoth blocking the front door (and a great deal of daylight) with a skillet being tossed to and fro from one dinner size plate hand to another. Just saying...

McCJ? As in, McCivilian Jeep?
Erm, sure, whatever floats your boat bro. I ain't judging, but that name is a bit of a stretch for you.
Oh yeah, I am okay with bro but brother.. uhhh.. it's a but weird. The only place where brother sounds acceptable is "Amen, brother".
I address my girlfriend's dad as Mr. In my culture, it is unacceptable to call parents by their first names.

Bleh, I dont like all these "sirs" and junk, ick.
My name is always good, people can call me that : p
If their a friend and they just call everyone they know "man" then thats fine too : p
I said in the other thread how I avoid gendered terms (unless necessary), I never really understood the reason for having them in every sentence we say to people : p Ill say he and she to describe someone (based on their gender obviously) but other than that I dont feel its super important to point out their gender : p
