Well my first name would certainly have been better than what the rather elderly F/A called me on a flight some years ago from Tokyo to JFK on United.

Just so you know that I wasn't dressed in "Winnie-the-Pooh" PJ's holding my teddy bear. I was on a business trip in business class and dressed in a suit as I was going straight to a meeting upon arrival. Neither am I a teenager, but a 40 year-old and I don't consider myself to be baby-faced either (nor does my wife!).

This woman kept calling me "Luv" this and "Luv" that. I found it really condescending and inappropriate. Finally, I said that I really appreciated the fact that she wanted to appear friendly, but the only person who calls me "Luv" is my grandmother. Shut her up real quick......
