    People usually only explicitly state each other’s names when they either need to differentiate to whom they are talking when more than one person could be the subject, or to create lazy exposition in a TV show.

    Also they don’t actually care how you are and won’t expect anything except that you’re fine, it’s just a social ceremony.

      Using the name is also (imo) strange and creepy way to make you seem friendlier and more polite
