Commentary: On the use of By Joyce M. Coomer When I was a child, my grandmother was called Mrs. Walter and her sister-in-law up the road was called Mrs. Oscar. As both ladies' first name was Cora, this was how people in the neighborhood knew which one was the topic of the conversation. Other ladies in the neighborhood were Mrs. and their first name. About the only exception to this was family members and children (no matter their age) were supposed to address their aunts as Aunt So-And-So, never just by their first name. There were always a few ladies who were so proper that no one was to use their first name -- even with Mrs. in front of it -- except close family members and life-long friends.
