In a conversation, do native speakers people call each other by name? [closed]
Almost only before the conversation to get the other person's attention. This is evidenced by the fact that we have to teach business students to try to find ways to use someone's name a few times after meeting in order to be able to remember it. This is often tricky because, if done poorly, it is very easy to sound and feel unnatural doing it.
If someone frequently used my name to address me while talking to me it would be very uncomfortable and make me defensive; it would feel aggressive. It would be less so if there we were in a larger group discussion and names were needed to address questions, though.
