Hi, Ardith Hinton! ->Alexander Koryagin
I read your message from 21.04.2021 23:58

 Ak>             A lot depends on the circumstances.  At informal
 Ak> gatherings I might say "Alexander, I'd like you to meet my
 Ak> friend Bruce".  The use of first names often implies
 Ak> familiarity & social equality, however... so things may be a bit
 Ak> different where kids are involved.  If I were introducing you to a
 Ak> grade eight class you'd be "Mr. Koryagin" to them and "Alexander" in
 Ak> the staff room.  OTOH you may also, as an adult friend of the family,
 Ak> be called "Uncle Alex(ander)".

So, if you are a headmaster in school, and you want to find out who is that naughty boy throwing rocks, you will ask him, "Why you are not at a lesson? What's your second name?"

Bye, Ardith!
