What Name Do You Prefer?

Dear Mrs. Naylor,

 

I remember one reader asking about whether it was okay to call you by your first name – I often wonder what various adults like to be called; some absolutely hate being called by their formal names (Mr., Mrs., Ms., etc.) and others can’t stand to have kids – or even other grown-ups – call them by their first names. Others, of course, don’t care, or just have a slight preference. What do you WANT to be called? I wonder.
