Disrepectful Names To Call A Girl

Is it disrespectful to call a Japanese person by their first name?

Is it disrespectful to call a Japanese person by his or her first name?Given name, not first name, since the family name comes first. In Japanese, 下の名前 shita no namae: “under name,” referring to top-to-bottom writing.After all these years in Japan, I call only two people by their given names, both women, both physicians, and both members of the Osaka Medical Association Philharmonic Orchestra, to which all three of us belong. I am very close friends with both, but I would not dream of failing to affix the honorific “-san” to their given names: “Nobuko-san” and “Yukari-san.” They call me “Bobu-san” (Bobu = Bob). They call each other by their family names as a matter of course, with the “-sensei” (“teacher / master / doctor”) affix: “Murakami-sensei” and “Gotoh-sensei,” and everybody else calls them that, too, even those who have known them for years and years on end.Young people, especially girls, often use an abbreviation of the given name together with the affix “-chan,” a child’s way of saying “-san”: “Yuki-chan,” “Nao-chan,” and so on. Don’t try it unless you qualify as a young Japanese girl!My advice is, append “-san” or “-sensei” to the family name as appropriate.To answer your question directly, it is not so much disrespectful as the bumbling of a clueless outsider.

I often call this girl I like by her name when I talk to her, but she's never called me by my name. Does this mean she doesn't like me?

Any name is okay as long as its meant affectionately…as long as she doesn't call you ‘late for dinner'.In my relationship if I hear my first name being called, it means trouble and a hundred bad things run through my mind, then I run... Joking aside, it doesn't really matter, and depending on how she was brought up it would be disrespectful to be called by one's first name within a relationship.In the seven years that I've been married my wife has never called me by my first name except when she is talking to someone about me...

If your boyfriend/girlfriend calls you terrible names when they're angry does that mean they don't love you?

Love is one thing. Respect another! If your BF/GF calls you terrible names just because he/she is mad, they obviously have poor impulse control and no respect for you! I might even go as far as to say that love is questionable.When you love someone, you treat them with respect, you treat them better than the way you would expect to be treated. How can you possibly justify being so disrespectful as to act that way to someone you claim to love? Both parties need to reflect on their relationship and decide if this is how they want it to be. It certainly is not the norm.a) the party that yells needs to really make a decision as to whether or not he/she really loves this person. If they do, couples counseling, anger management or even some one on one would be a start. If they don’t feel that is warranted, then they may need to move on and give the other person a chance at true happiness and love.b) the party being yelled at needs to let the other person know the way they feel when getting yelled at and that they refuse to live that way! Ask the other person if they still love them. Why, they love them. If any of it makes sense, then encourage the counseling and see what happens.Love is not always pink hearts and willowy white clouds, but it is a mutual respect and name calling no matter how pissed one person is should not be accepted.I would say that if things have gotten to this point, that you are on an up hill battle if you want to try and fix it. Be aware however, that once things have gotten this far, it is very difficult to save them!!!! Be prepared for the worse.Good Luck!
