How close would a friend have to be to address you with "Hanae" instead of your family name? Does that level of intimacy still use an honorific? Does the choice of what word used after the name change for that level of intimacy? Mom used to tell folks that "chan" was a "term of endearment" for children, is there a term used for very close friends instead of a title of rank? Do you feel that any of your friends are that close?
