Have you asked yourself why you feel this way? Names literally exist to be used. No cultural norm I am aware of prohibits their use, other than it would be weird in limited contexts like if you called your parents by their names. But even that is not universal. A stranger using your name is not disrespectful in the least, so getting mad about that seems like a problem.

    there are absolutely norms that prevent their usage, but it's one of those formality things that's probably starting to become extinct these days.

    Like how one would be expected to address nobility by their title, "your highness" or "m'lord".
