I've only ever seen 3 names in this echo, including mine.  :/

See above.  A group of 3.  :/

I don't get that as much as being called "sir", "thank you,  
sir" ..when younger people interact with me at the shop. I'm  
over 60 but not yet 65, but the "sir" only started 2 years ago.

  :(

When a little kid might be allowed to partake in the payment  
process (cash or POS machine) I'll address the pre-teen boys  
"little sir" or "yes, sir", "thank you, sir". The girls - I'd  
use "little lady".
