identify someone without the full title. Sometimes I say KH. I'll try to be more consistent though.

As far as men, if their first name is recognizable enough and shorter than their last name, then I go with the first name (for example, Bernie).

There's a lot of Joes though. A lot of male names are way too common so referring to them by their first name would create confusion.
