perhaps the use of somebody's name often occurs as a more general signal that they're exasperating you or being slow in some fashion.
That certainly fits with the way I do it. I almost never say people's names to them unless I'm having a hard time getting a simple point through to someone I suspect of missing the point on purpose. Naming no names, obviously. Otherwise, the only time I've really come across it is in salesmen.
