Not in the US. Using Mr. or Mrs. with a first name only (like Mr. Fred or Ms. Judy) was originally the way slaves were instructed to speak to their masters as a way of showing deference. Today, it is practiced only in the South as a lingering remnant of racist practices. It is appropriate to address someone named "Fred Jones" as Fred if you know him, Mr. Jones in a business setting, or Mr. Fred Jones in a more formal or traditional setting. Addressing him as Mr. Fred is considered derogatory and disrespectful.
