What was the significance of calling a person by first name in Jane Austen's writing?

When calling a person by name, the title and last name were normally used. If the person was a young woman, a title and last name implied she was the eldest daughter; thus "Miss Bennet" referred to Jane, not Lizzy. A younger daughter was referred to by title and first and last name.
When people were close, such as in the case of Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley, who were close friends, or Mr. Darcey and Col. Fitzwilliam, who were cousins, use of the last name only was normal.
Use of the first name only was reserved for only the closest relationships, such as between siblings or married partners. Even then it was not always used, as in the case of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, who called each other Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet.
Jane Austen makes fun of Mrs. Elton, in Emma, because she has the presumption to address or refer to Mr. Knightley without his title, and calls her own husband "Mr.
E."

What information is Gilman able to provide by writing her story in the first person that she would not have been able to provide by writing her story in the third person?
By writing her story in the first person, Gilman is able to provide readers with intimate insight into the protagonist's thoughts, emotions, and experiences. This allows for a deeper connection with the character's mental state and a more personal understanding of the story's themes, particularly concerning women's struggles during the time. Writing in the third person may have created distance between the character and the readers, potentially limiting the emotional impact and significance of the narrative.

Cold calling is basically your typical telemarketing type of call. It is usually referred to as cold calling by the people or companies doing the calling. The term cold refers to the fact that you basically have no prior relationship with the person you are calling. The term warm calling is also frequently used when there is a small relationship between the person you are calling and yourself or the company you work for. Cold calling has a very low success rate and can be very frustrating for the person making and receiving the call.
