Thank you, flower. You know, it is a sign of courtesy to address the person to whom you are speaking by name. Another reason to use your interlocutor's given (though, in this case, it's probably more accurate to call it "taken") name could be to emphasize the seriousness of the utterance you are about to make. I do not fear redundancy; in fact, I am pretty much fearless about appearing redundant.
