As you have said yourself, Mr is usually followed by a surname or a man's full name. You shouldn't use it in connection with his first name though. Mr David or Mr Frank sounds rather strange.

So, It is correct for me to say: Thank you for helping me out, Mr Daerr. :) I asked this question simply because I always see some members of this forum address you as Mr Torsten. :) Thanks. _________________ Please feel free to correct me if you find any mistakes in my posts. |

Yes, it would be correct to say although it's sounds very formal.
