Last Name, First Name (Nom Prénom) To address a person by their surname, Rather than their given shows disrespect, Attests, this is vulgar and profane To the individual referenced. If the intent is to use the latter, Say Mr., Mrs., Miss or Ms. prior, Be courteous and display good manners; Refined behaviours will take you further. Given names are chosen and assigned at birth, To human beings for distinction with class, It’s polite to address people by their first, With a salutation before their last. Though the use of surnames is prevalent, It’s an unpolished cultural etiquette.
