Why do christian apologists say the name of the person they're talking to so often?
I'm sure there are other groups that do it too, but I've noticed it most often from christian apologists, probably in part case I like listening to debates/discussions with them from atheist youtubers, but I've also noticed it talking to christians myself.
It always feels super weird to me, but that's also coming from someone who feels weird with eye contact and saying other peoples names, so maybe it's just me. Has anybody else noticed it, or are there other people you've noticed that do that? Does it seem weird to you?

Aside from it being a sales tactic, it's also just a strategy to memorize people's names. I use it often because I'm trying to be friendly, and I have slight face blindness.
Ironically I work in sales and rarely use names. I am shit with names.
OK, but how are you with sales?
Very good. Just funny it's a common sales tactic that I don't do because I can't remember names
I want to take your course.
I teach new hires to my team on sales tactics. My background is in psychiatry/psychology.
It all boils down to being legit. Be you. Don't be fake. Don't lie.
Based on sales I typically outsell my peers 4:1. When I say a customer is a friend, that means we are friends.
After COVID people are looking for more authentic relationships. The dynamics have changed. They don't want the fake sales person who just takes them to dinner. They want someone that has a real relationship with people, they enjoy spending time with and they trust.
The social isolation has caused people to seek true connections when they spend time with people.
