When to use someone's first name when you are talking to them (Lessons in Finnish conversation culture)

The answer to this question is quite clear: Only when there's more than two people in the situation and you want to get the person's attention. 

If you say (or write) a person's name too much, you sound like a telemarketer, an overenthusiastic LinkedIn user, or it sounds like the other person has done something wrong.

I know that in some cultures, it is more common to use each other's first names and show that you know who they are, but you don't have to do that in Finland.
