Of course using honorifics is out of the question in the dubbing, but using the surnames when the character does instead of changing it to the given name could be considered. It's really awkward having Ichigo saying Orihime or Orihime saying Ichigo. Even more the Ishida saying Ichigo when they're supposed to be enemies.

Of course addressing depends on the country, in mine it's pretty uncommon to be called by your surname by your friends, yet some people prefer to be called by them, and some people randomly nickname you by your surname just because it's funny. Teachers rarely learn your given name, I remember my History teacher was always "Schiffer (I'm not giving my real surname) get off the table, Schiffer, you're on the table again, Schiffer, I saw you, you were on the table" each time he arrived to the classroom (I loved to sit on the teacher's table, it was really comfortable).

In the end it's a matter of personal tastes I guess, and I hate to hear Rukia saying "Captain Kaien" (that's how they dubbed it here, guess they didn't know what to do with the -dono) or simply "Kaien" when I'm used to "Kaien-dono".
