Not really, I grew up in the South, & have only seen this usage in the past 15 years- Never ever heard anyone call my mother Miss Georgia until she was in a nursing home at 86.

Exactly.

I really dislike being called by my first name preceded by “Miss”, especially by someone I have never met before. People in the medical field seem to do this the most, & I find it very condescending. Rather than respect, it feels denigrating & disrespectful.
