From the US, and don't find this that common. I also find it incredibly annoying, but that's probably because the last one had a spouse with my same first name. If I had to even try to pin it down, I'd maybe say it could be a younger person or west coast thing? On the east coast, I've never worked with anyone who called their relatives by name. I haven't worked with many younger people on the east coast though, to be fair.
