Maybe it's an Australian thing but if I were at a dinner party and anyone introduced themselves as "Dr. Smith" I'd immediately assume that they were dreadfully dreary and pompous because you're at the dinner table not a lecture theatre

My partner & I visited a specialist physician in Brisbane for first time about a condition she has. On first visit he introduced himself as Dan, said "call me Dan". He's a professor of medicine, teaches doctors at Qld uni, participates in things like heart/lung transplants.
