Situation is, you are not friends yet or this is the first time you have encountered this fellow Mylotter. But whenever he/she replies to your posts, They will end the response by writing your name. I am guilty of this,very much, because I usually write the profile name or the real name, if given, after each post. I thought it would be kinda a personalized comment and not just a repetition of what others usually writes. Would you be offended? Are you the one who doesn't care? Or it is much better that way? Please share your thoughts..

Hello Eihdra, I always start my post by saying hello or hi to the person I'm responding to.
I wouldnt be offended if someone wanted to personalize there posts, seems like kind of a friendly gesture to me. At least that way I know that you know who your talking to.
Yours truly, Tianna
thanks too...

No, I don't feel offended at all. Calling by first name is a sign of friendliness. That's perfectly alright for me. For example, would you be offended if I called you "eihdra" ?
Best regards.

I don't mind at all. People have different ways of showing their respects and greetings. As long as I like the idea and message in their comment.

Hi eihdra! 
I dont see any problems with calling people by their first name. I love people calling me by my first name.
I have nothing to hide. Names are meant to be used for people to identify us from the rest - individuality.

hi eihdra,
i don't have my real name on my profile. that's the reason i have a user name-go ahead and use that-i think that does personalize responses-but it's fine either way with me.

As for me, no problem with that...after all my name is the sweetest name to my ear. I find nothing offending should I read my name being written in answer to my post and in fact I find it quite sweet and friendly! So if you answer my post, go and write my name by all means.
Happy posting!
