I don’t think this is uncommon, but definitely varies in the level of discomfort caused… For me using a name is a degree of familiarity. My favorite people saying my name feels great. But in general I don’t like most of the social/sales “hacks” for speeding up the process of intimacy/social closeness.

Yeah I think it comes down to social deixis. I took Spanish calls as well as English. Spanish has a formal and informal “you” Usted and tú, respectively. I got the same irritated reaction when clients used informal pronoun and verb forms with me.
To be clear this irritation is completely internal. I understand it would be rude to snap at people who I know are just trying to be friendly. My awareness of how inappropriate this reaction is is why I made this post.
