That said, she's fine with Hayate and even Fate using her last name and rank when they're on duty, so as to keep things professional. Nanoha always tells her subordinates/students to simply call by name (or Nanoha-san if they're uncomfortable with being too informal) instead of Captain/Instructor Takamachi.By the time of ViVid, she's not bothered by it. Members of the Saint Church call Vivio "Your Majesty" since she's a clone of the Sankt Kaiser despite her constantly reminding them not to.Agito is initially unable to do so, but eventually starts calling her "Meister Hayate."
The third Megami Sound Stage reveals that Hayate has been trying to get Agito, who recently joined her family, to call her by her first name rather than "Commander/Lieutenant Colonel Yagami".
#Dont call me up lyrcis professional
Since Carim's a relative stranger, Nanoha and Fate keep things strictly professional with Chrono, addressing one another by rank, until Carim points out that she knows Chrono, and they can act normally during the meeting.
A variant happens in StrikerS when Nanoha and Fate meet with Chrono and Carim. In Bakuman。, Mashiro, during his first real conversation with his assistant Takahama, gets him to call him "Mashiro-san" rather than "sensei". In Legend of Galactic Heroes, after Reinhard and Hilde get married, Reinhard tells her she can stop calling him "Kaiser" like everyone else and call him by his first name, with mixed results. At the end of the series, she issues a proclamation that abolishes the custom. Youko, the main character and eventual queen in The Twelve Kingdoms, can't stand to see her courtiers and peasantry prostrate themselves before her, partly because it offends her sense of equality and because she fears the ministers are scowling while their faces are hidden. See also Nice to the Waiter and Respected by the Respected. Can apply to male characters as well, in settings where a separate title for unmarried boys is used.Ĭompare/contrast Insistent Terminology, Insistent Appellation, First-Name Basis, Last-Name Basis, Friendly Address Privileges, Just the First Citizen and Stop Worshipping Me. She wants to be called "Miss", either because of vanity or because she is in fact not married. Note that a woman who says "Don't call me Ma'am" is usually NOT invoking this trope: but rather is annoyed that you think she is either old or married. This is a Super-Trope of the second variant of They Call Me MISTER Tibbs!, where a character insists upon First-Name Basis in order to be more jovial. (The Old Retainer hates it.) Or conversely, the privileged character may come to accept the use of their title: having grown into it, or come to understand their position better, over the course of the story. Or he may simply find it tiresome and impractical and say something to the effect of "Formalities are a waste of time." Another very common possibility is that the character (perhaps correctly) views formality with suspicion because it is formulaic: and therefore makes lying easier.Ī common way to play with this trope is to have one character insist on being called by name, but another character, usually a servant or similar role, agrees and continues using the title anyway, in the basic form of: "Don't call me Sir." "Yes, Sir." The two characters may argue about this throughout the story, and the eventual use of the first name by the subordinate character can be used to show the development of their relationship. He may be trying to endear himself to the lower classes in a deliberate gambit to seem personable. He may be from humble origins and uncomfortable with such shows of respect, perhaps because he fears he is being mocked or doubts his own worthiness to receive them. He may hate to see others degrading themselves before him (particularly if the gestures in question have religious overtones). The reasons for this vary considerably and tend to be complex. 
While still being cognizant and proud of his position, he tries to minimize the social distance between himself and members of other classes. He insists that he be addressed by name rather than title, he stops people who try to bow to him, he corrects people who try to avert their eyes. However, this person refuses to take advantage of the situation. A character is in a position of high authority or status, and as a part of this, is owed respect and even obeisance from those considered beneath him.
