Saying someone's name frequently helps build trust. It's a thing people do in the sales/management/business field too.
Could also just be a non-manipulative thing. But who knows what's genuine.
I manage people. Whenever I'm complementing someone on their work or thanking them for something, I try to always use their name to show that I really mean it and that I value them.
I don't know if it works, but it's a small thing to help go that extra distance.
I say the names of my closest friends very often, and almost never those of other people. I like to think it helps people who are around to remember how my friends are called, so that they are more likely to engage with us in the future
If somebody uses my name a lot, I instantly distrust them. I find it creepy. Every time they use my name it's like they're dipping their cock in my drink, it's not a normal way to speak, it requires effort, people that do this are disingenuous and slimy.
Idk about apologists or whatever, but...
