There's part of me that agrees that "Nonono, just call me ___!" kills the magic, but then another, less-worthy part of me likes it, only because I know it is unlikely that I'll get above AOA-rank, despite the long time I've been involved with the SCA. I've been in long enough that a lot of people that I started with are now peers.
Back when I lived in the Midrealm, it was a sign that you really knew a person well when you could call them by their real name (not at an event, of course). In Calontir, it's very different--people I've known for years don't know my real name. It's always "Tace" (they never can remember the Japanese one).
I do like the Japanese model, though. It's more elegant, I think.
