When did it become acceptable to address men as "Mr" and then their First name instead of their last name?

Not too long ago, young boys were referred to as "Master" while the fathers was called "Mister" followed by their first name. That was still occurring in professional medical settings up until the late 1970s, believe it or not. I used to see old charts in the clinics where I worked with these patient titles on them up until the EHR system was set up around 1993-95. Anyway, why this similar trend appears to making a comeback is kind of strange.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 61761870 Came here to say this. I used to get letters from family as a kid always addressed to "Master". From now on it will be my preferred pronoun lol
