I use it with people I know.
It probably is souther just like honey, darlin, dear, sweetie are accepted from complete strangers. I think why it bugs me is several of my last supervisors did it and it feels more condescending. Yes they are my bosses but it makes me feel very inferior because they say it like I am a little kid.

I don't hate being called Miss Amanda as much as I hate when people call me Manda, Manders or Mandy. The only thing short for Amanda I ever go by is Ama.
