I guess I woul...Hi Camile, thanks for the comment!<br /><br />I guess I wouldn't say it's not "OK," it's just that in the majority of cases, if you use a title, it goes with the last name. Although like you mentioned, if it's a term of endearment or if someone wants to be called Mrs., Miss, or Mr. plus his or her first name, then I agree, it's fine. It may also be that you have different customs in Canada, especially in French-speaking areas. I think nowadays if you used "Ms." plus your maiden name, that wouldn't be too weird, either. At least that's what my wife does.<br /><br />I'll make a change to the post to mention this.<br /><br />I guess since I'm not a "Mrs." I'd not seen it from your perspective. I'd argue that it's not the parents' place to tell their kids what to call their friends' parents, if that contradicts what that person wants to be called. You seem to have found a good middle ground there.<br /><br />Now you've got me thinking... OK, I guess the main thing for ME is that I don't want people to call me "Mr. Ryan," since "Ryan" can also be a last name (just not mine), and because it's too reminiscent of "Don Ryan" for my tastes, which makes me sound like a mafioso. :)<br /><br />Thanks again for reading and commenting!Sitzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11736024263670063703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3875973898979752723.post-4281751341292174592012-03-21T16:15:29.032-06:002012-03-21T16:15:29.032-06:00Why is "Mrs. Camile" wrong in person?

If parents insist on their kids calling me Mrs then I meet them in the middle and have them call me Mrs. Camile. I didn't know this wasn't ok.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
