I think it really depends of the person speaking to you. If he's talking to you with a superior voice, yes I would feel manipulated. But someone saying it with a smile and genuinely would make me feel happy
Nope. People who screwed me over in the past were smiling and saying my name with very pleasant and respectful voice with intention to genuinely make me happy.
On the other hand my friends use my name only when they talk with each other about me in my presence or when they call me to get my attention.
I haven't really been screwed over, but I also become cautious and alert when my name is used (outside of a couple people). My typical name and names for my friends are: Hey, Yo, Dude. Oddly, for members of the opposite sex, I tend to use pet names and or say their name in a melodic tone (ex: Amanda -> Adamanana)
