    We used to call each other by the surnames in middle school.

    That is very much not standard. Everyone just did it. I didn’t even remember to respond to my first name the first few weeks of high school.

      I’ve only seen that for people with similar first names as other people in a school or workplace. Then again, I was born just before the Brayden/Ayden/Mxyzptlkayden generation.

      That was my experience in most shop environments, you just start getting called by your surname.
