   Hi, Ardith Hinton! ->Alexander Koryagin   
   I read your message from 21.04.2021 23:58   
      
    Ak>             A lot depends on the circumstances.  At informal   
    Ak> gatherings I might say "Alexander, I'd like you to meet my   
    Ak> friend Bruce".  The use of first names often implies   
    Ak> familiarity & social equality, however... so things may be a bit   
    Ak> different where kids are involved.  If I were introducing you to a   
    Ak> grade eight class you'd be "Mr. Koryagin" to them and "Alexander" in   
    Ak> the staff room.  OTOH you may also, as an adult friend of the family,   
    Ak> be called "Uncle Alex(ander)".   
      
   So, if you are a headmaster in school, and you want to find out who is that   
   naughty boy throwing rocks, you will ask him, "Why you are not at a lesson?   
   What's your second name?"   
      
   Bye, Ardith!   
   Alexander Koryagin
