No, not really, over here people usually go by the first name. Even when calling someone "Mr." they say the first name.
			
			
I knew a Chilean woman whose sisters were all named Maria like her.
Maria Jose
Maria Luisa
Maria Carmen
Maria, etc...
Of course they all went by their middle name. I always found that odd. Why not name them differently and Maria could have been their middle name?
