I should also add:
(c) How do you introduce yourself? I would normally introduce myself as
just "Tristan"; my surname is only relevant for filling in forms. In
other places, would you sometimes introduce yourself as just
"Firstname", others just "Mr/s Surname"? Would you generally introduce
yourself as "Firstname Surname"?
