** The adults are by and large number known by their last names to Harry/ the narrator: (Rubeus) Hagrid, (Albus) Dumbledore, (Severus) Snape, (Remus) Lupin, (Minerva) [=McGonagall=], (Dolores) Umbridge, (Cornelius) Fudge, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, etc. Justified since most of them are authority figures, like teaching staff or ministers. The adults use their first names when referring to each other, for the most part. Sirius is the only adult figure in Harry's life whom he calls by first name, and that's only after Harry grows more familiar with him; when he's in a seemingly antagonistic role in ''Prisoner of Azkaban'', he's referred to as "Black".
** The general rule of thumb is that Harry/The Narrator refers to characters he likes by their first names unless they are explicitly authority figures. For instance, he starts calling Lupin by his first name once he's stopped thinking of him as a teacher. Hagrid is an exception: though him and Harry are close friends, he never calls Hagrid on his first name. Nobody does, not even Dumbledore, who's on a FirstNameBasis with everyone up to and including the BigBad. Even ''his own brother'' calls him "Hagger".

* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' series, Ponder Stibbons is pretty consistently refered to as Ponder by the narration, but no one in universe calls him that. His might be the only name of the faculty that Ridcully remembers [[spoiler: except for the Dean, or should I say Henry]], since unlike the others he is not constantly referred to by his [[{{everyonecallshimbarkeep}} position at the university]]. STIBBONS! This becomes justified later as refering to Ponder by only one of the positions he holds would be rather misleading.

* ''Literature/ImInLoveWithTheVillainess'' has a rare instance of a character being ''upgraded'' to LastNameBasis. After losing a battle with Marania over Claire, Rae has a HeroicBSoD that culminates in her quitting her job as Claire's maid, believing she no longer has the right to be with her. Claire - who up until that point has exclusive called Rae "commoner" - responds by calling her "Miss Taylor". This instantly jolts Rae out of her HeroicBSoD, but by that point she realises [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone it's too late to take it back]]. Thankfully, they reconcile [[spoiler:[[RelationShipUpgrade (and more)]]]] soon after, whereupon Claire begins addressing her on a FirstNameBasis.
