* In the courtroom, in addition to attorneys referring to adult litigants, witnesses and defendants (and sometimes, minors over a certain age) by a courtesy title and last name, everyone is expected to refer to judges as "Your Honor" or, short of that, "Judge (last name)." Erroneously addressing a judge otherwise may earn a stern reprimand to a contempt of court citation, although for children a gentle reminder is all that's needed.

* Ironically, even where using last names is a sign of respect, some positions can be ''so'' exalted that the [[InvertedTrope trope gets inverted]] and ''only'' the first name gets used: monarchs, for example. (Even without the title, people routinely speak of "Elizabeth II" with no disrespect, but someone who calls her "Mrs. Windsor" is definitely making a point.) Another example is knighthood: [[Creator/PatrickStewart Sir Patrick Stewart]], for example, is properly addressed not as "Sir Stewart" but as "Sir Patrick."

**A varied rule applies to noble titles, where the surname address is used, unless the noble title comes with a different name (usually a place name associated with the person, such as [[UsefulNotes/BernardLawMontgomery the 1st Viscount of Alamein]]). For instance, Creator/ChristopherGuest is "Lord Hayden-Guest" (his full surname is Hayden-Guest), as the 5th Baron Hayden-Guest. However, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Aitken%2C_1st_Baron_Beaverbrook Max Aitken]] was "Lord Beaverbrook" as the 1st Baron Beaverbrook.
