[quote=Anonymous]First names are normal and fine in a lot of cultures. You can tell the kid what you prefer, or you can be more flexible and recognize that this area has people of many different cultural backgrounds. Personally, I have my kids say "Ms." when in DC or anywhere south of here because it's what they do at school and better to avoid offending anyone. But I do think anyone who is really bothered by it is odd. Like is your ego so fragile that you need everyone to cater to it? True respect is earned and freely given, not demanded and enforced.[/quote]
