I used to have issues with calling my professors (advisors, teachers, slave-drivers, whatever...) by their first names until my fellow classmates did so religiously. After awhile, I just fell into calling them by their first names (when they assured us that is was alright, of course) after awhile. Still, it took me two years to call my undergraduate advisor by his first name. I used to start my e-mails with "Hi" or "Hello" or "Yo!" just to avoid using names.

I still generally err on the side of avoiding direct address and start with Hello, or the like. I'm somewhat embarassed by the fact I do it, since it seems so obvious that I write it in part because I'm missing out on whatever out to be the right protocol for the situation. I generally avoid calling anyone anything, which is probably just as bad, but less likely to embarass me immediately.

When I have students, I'm going to make it very clear from the beginning:

"You may call me 'The All-powerful Fist of Doom'".
