If that's why people refer to politicians by first name, why does everyone say Bernie instead of Sanders? Or Teddy instead of Roosevelt?

I think the rule is that you get first name treatment if you're further left than a neoliberal, or if you have a more famous relative.

I think it's about if your first name is cooler than your last.
