Where people refer to each other with simply their first name.
For instance, a man might say "Hello, Joe" rather than the more formal "Hello, Mr. Smith."

It means familiar enough with one another to dispense with titles and formalities and simply use first names. It can also be "on first name terms".

It means that you address people by their first names... it is more casual and friendly. All the stuffiness of using Mr. This and Mrs. That is removed.

It means that you're familiar enough with a person to address that person by his/her first name (and presumably vice versa).
