西人係唔會咁㗎, 老豆嘅朋友and老婆, 都係叫名㗎咋

呢度話老派英國人都係咁叫：Why in some countries people refer to non relatives as auntie, grandfather or mom even if they've never met? (ex. addressing my friend's parents as mom and dad) Is there an historical reason behind this? - Quora
I think this was because it was thought that a child using just the first name to an adult was disrespectful but the full title “Mrs Smith” would be too formal for a child to say.
可能依家唔興以前興？
... Later also as a term for an unrelated female family friend... As a more or less informal term for any woman... Auntie is now used as a general term of respect for (usually older) women in various contexts in many varieties of English.
