You don’t use the person’s name every time when you’re talking about them in their presence. If I’m with my friends Mark and Fergus, and I’m telling Mark a story about something that happened to me and Fergus earlier that day, I’m going to use “he” or “his” to refer to Fergus a lot.
“Can’t believe how close we came to an accident on the way here. We were walking past a building with some scaffolding on it, and a brick just about hit me on the head. Fergus was looking up at the site anyway because his company is advertising on the site, so he saw it fall and stopped me just on time.”

But is improper to do so. The proper way to refer to a person who is present is by using their name.

Those who appreciate polite behaviour do.
Nobody talks like this

maybe i have never been in proper situations, then, because in my experience, people will use pronouns or names indistinctly
