here's one for you all ... when you introduce yourself, do you state your name ?

i don't

(snip)

I introduce my partner(s) and myself by name.

"This is Mr. Smith and I'm Mr. Tafurst"

Always last names, not first names.
I don't know why.
I think it sounds professional.
Except for very casual games (which I do once in a while)I think it sets a proper tone.
I even do it with guys that maybe used to coach my daughter and that I've gone out drinking with.
It's a reminder that for the next 7 innings, our relationship is a little different.
