[Janet20964]

Excellent question. In my generational cohort, last names are considered too formal. I have had friends who’s last names I never knew, even if I had known them for years. In my last job, even the corporate veeps were known by first names only; its seen as a sign of closeness and egalitarianism. If someone asks for my last name, I feel its none of their business. On the other hand, my mother usually tells anyone who asks that her first name is Mrs. as she feels that her first name is too personal. Im 32 and she’s 57, so it must have changed with the boomers.
