They'd introduce themselves by the name they want to be called, so it depends on personal preference. And everyone, regardless of their social standing, would call you by that name. Giving people arbitrary nicknames or calling them by anything other but what they introduce themselves is considered rude (so if you introduce yourself as
Dave everyone calls you
Dave, if you introduce yourself as
David everyone calls you
David).
