I have had a lot of teachers recently ask me whether calling me 'Mr Paul' was correct or not.
In western culture the title 'Mr' is placed before the family name (similar to Hara-san in Japan).
My full name being Paul Dyball would mean that 'Mr' would be placed before 'Dyball' thus becoming Mr Dyball.
Personally I prefer being called Paul. :-)

I had a good time on last Sunday(English Cafe).
Our sutdents call you without using '' Mr.'', and they feel friendship for you. Me,too.
I think western culture is nice. But Japanese culture is nice, too.
I'm looking forward to seeing you on the 9th of March.
