[But this also means he's thinking, and Ginia never minds answering his questions.]

You bring up an interesting point. It's usually more polite to call someone by their last name, as calling someone by their first name is more informal or usually between friends, but Santa Claus doesn't mind being called Santa because he's friendly to everyone else.

But names are also written differently depending on where you come from. In some cultures, the family name is written first followed by your personal or given name. In other cultures, your given name is written first, followed by your fanuky name. In my world, Eastern cultures use the first form ([Family name] [Given name)) while Western cultures use the second form ([Given name] [Family name]). Neither is right or wrong, it's all based on where you come from.

For example, as I was born in a Western culture, my name is written Ginia Solana. If I were born in an Eastern culture, my name would be Solana Ginia.
