Referring to people by their class/job

i can understand with long names or difficult names, but I've been called "bard" rather than my character's name, which isn't hard to spell or pronounce, often enough and had enough bad experiences related to situations involving it that it does get on my nerves.

Same here. Sounds like the person is talking about you, but not with you, enforcing the fact that he/she doesn't have a good opinion of you. I always take the time to look at party mates' names, and if you don't care enough to call me by my name, I won't care to give my commendation to someone else...
