    Sounds formal though.. I do call some people by their names just because I dont feel comfy around them to call them by their nick names :)

    Ask Jeffry/Jeff how he wishes to be addressed and respect his wish.

    Oh, i can ask him but i wanted to know how a majority of people feel about it.. like i have 5-6 people who use nicknames more than their real name.. i can't ask everyone the same question.. :P

    Why not? It is a matter of respect. If your friends answer when being addressed by nicknames than it is safe to assume it is acceptable.
