Hmm, I think the problem is, is that western culture of calling everyone by their first names whether we just met them or not is slowly making its way through.

Also, there's the point of how the author writes. Take Beelzebub for example- no matter how close a relationship, everyone calls everyone by the surname. Then you have Bleach where everyone is called by name.
