1st issue is Characters are addressing each other too often by first name.
2nd point is sounds super awkward nobody repeats each other's first name that often in real dialogue.
3rd issue is that it hurts the pacing of the conversation and that hurts the current pace of the story.
4th issue Unnecessary unless you are trying to get someone's attention or are trying to make a point. In others world the very Name addressing name calling has to make it into a punchline during a conversation to be considered appropriate dialogue in the latter sense of the option.
