	knifewrench picked Yes: I have a strange feeling that I have made a very large spelling mistake somewhere.... posted over a year ago. last edited over a year ago

	roundabouts picked No: maybe but it doesnt really matter though does it. everyone knows what you mean. anyway yeah, no i dont think its weird. its better that way i think posted over a year ago.

	emilee24 picked No: I like that way also. It would be just like a nickname. When your used to talk to someone by one name, your not going to want to call them another name.blah blah blah...I could just go on and on. posted over a year ago.

	hulahoopgoddess picked No: when ever they use first names, it sounds as if they are being condescending. besides, the last name basis of name referal for doctors is like military personel- thats just how they role! posted over a year ago.

	eipekili picked No: yeah, what she said! posted over a year ago.

	goalstopper picked No: it's cool posted over a year ago.

	busanbusan picked No: First i thought it was a little strange, but i would rather call them House, Cuddy and Chase instead of Greg, (i have no problem with Lisa, but Cuddy sounds. funnier.) or Robert. posted over a year ago. last edited over a year ago

	flikkitty11 picked No: i think that since they have always called eachother by their surnames it would be too wierd if they stopped. also it shows that they arnt too close to each other - lyk they are collegues rather than friends. i tink when chase and cameron got together they called eachother by their first names a couple of times (maybe in the old lady's house but im not sure). posted over a year ago.

	iluvjesse picked No: Its kind of weird, but It would be too weird going around being like, "Hey Greg!" "Hey Robert. Hey Allison. Hey Eric!" It'd be too awkward. posted over a year ago.

	RobertChase picked Yes: I completely agree with iluvjesse. I'd just be weird. Unnatural, almost. posted over a year ago.

	cents4spence picked No: it's just like me and my friends. We either use the designates nicknames }katie- Sparky, Me- Emu (DON'T ASK!!!) just to say 2{ or our middle names. It's hard to say our last names. posted over a year ago.

	SteveMcQueen picked No: It makes sense, although I think I heard Allison call Chase Rob once or twice, posted over a year ago.

	knifewrench picked Yes: It was in the episode where Cameron is using that annoying, arguement winning book I think it's wierd how both Cuddy and the actor, both of their first names are Lisa!..... I think posted over a year ago. last edited over a year ago

	Fuyu picked No: I think it's funny when House calls Wilson Jimmy, but other than that, it feels so weird NOT to call them by their last names. Yeah, Lisa Edelstein=Lisa Cuddy. I thought that was pretty cool. And then if you wanna take it a step further (which is probably pushing it), Hugh Laurie's real first name is James, like James Wilson. And Robert Sean Leonard can go with Robert Chase. Haha, I could so do this all day (which might imply that I need a life, but oh well). posted over a year ago.

	DrChameron picked Yes: They are so used to calling each other by their surnames they ust always do. posted over a year ago.

	Spotty_Vision21 picked Yes: Honestly? It took me a long time to realize those were their surnames. After all, with the exception of House, they can all be first names. posted over a year ago.

	sardines picked Yes: I never mentioned it, but now you're saying it :) posted over a year ago.

	laurainium picked Yes: I think that at least House and Wilson should use their first names. Probably Chase and Cameron too. posted over a year ago.

	wildgossip77 picked No: I think it's funny. i like how they all get called something other than their names. except 13. it's funny how her number stuck. posted over a year ago.

	Bery picked Yes: its weird that house and wilson call each other by their last name, also chase and cameron and amber with wilson calling him wilson posted over a year ago.

	GlassyBlooEyes picked No: I think when you get the interview they usually call you by your last name and get use to it. When they see you that name kind of just comes up. So they get use to it around the hospital and it kinda travels. Unless there dating in that case they use there first name. posted over a year ago.

	princess_16 picked No: It's cool. It's different. posted over a year ago.

	novusluna picked No: It's quite the opposite of odd. They spend more time together inside the hospital than they do outside. I'm betting it's almost reflexive. Besides, most of the scenes are we see on the show are set in the hospital, so we can't really say that they don't call each other by their first names outside the hospital. It's not really the place that matters, but the situation they're in. In S2E21 Euphoria II, Foreman refers to Cameron by her first name when he asks Cameron to be his medical proxy. * In S5E11 Joy To The World, The present that was given to House by Wilson that House re-gifted to himself, the note attached to it read; 'Greg, reminded me of you'. * And in S5E13 Big Baby, Both Wilson and Cameron refers to Cuddy as 'Lisa', when talking about her insecurities in adopting Rachel. In the same episode, Foreman calls Thirteen, 'Remy', while asking House's opinion of the drug trial. * I'm sure they're more examples, but these are the only ones that came into my mind, and I'm not quite in the mood to go digging for the others. x posted over a year ago. last edited over a year ago
