And do you think is there a reason in particular why not everyone refers to them the same way?

It depends on whether the name is immediately recognizable as an auteur.
There's usually no need to say 'Alfred' Hitchcock or 'Charlie' Chaplin.

Or 'Quentin' Tarantino… I know how much you love him.

It's more like, indifference. He doesn't preoccupy my thoughts in a way that he might –if he was truly worth any attention.
My hatred for him is commensurate with his feeble accomplishments. He's such a zero, such a nobody, such a dud –that it's rare he ever crosses my mind.
