Suggest a surname for the Inquisitor. I'll start.

Blackshear.

Of course not. The PC can speak character names, because all the NPC names are assigned by the writers.

Except, if we accept that your logical assumptions of how frequently people are addressed by name are true, it'd be just as unnatural for the PC to speak character names, and therefore the PC should also not speak NPC names.

As such, a (presumably) more natural way of directing this should be done. You gave an example of physically touching the individual, which would work. And we could do this for the PC as well.

Again, the ideal solution is simply not to voice anyone

In other words, the ideal natural solution is to not voice people (something irrelevant to whether or not names are used - I have a sneaking suspicion that you have little issue if names are used when it's a name of your choosing however, and you have fabricated a position in the hopes of getting something that you want), and to not use their names. Though you've already conceded that name use is perfectly valid when addressing NPCs.


If the game had no voice, do you still have reservations with the player name you chose being addressed on a consistent basis?


As an anecdote, I typically use the person's name when I am saying hello to them, unless they are in a group to which I use a plural term like "guys."  I ask this because I am having a hard time convincing myself that you didn't fabricate a position simply because you could then use it as an argument against a position you'd be against.
