Can someone help me out with some Japanese honorific confusion? I know calling someone by their first name is usually reserved for people who are very close, yet I'm watching Evangelion and Misato addresses Shinji as "Shinji-kun." Shouldn't it be "Ikari-kun?"

Shinji and Misato are tight, yo.
They be all like friends and shit, or at least Misato likes to think, so she use his first callsign, dawg.
