I'm with you. I want them to call me by my first name, and it would then seem too unbalanced if I had to use a last name. This is, afterall, supposed to be an intimate relationship, at least if you're in longer term therapy like I am. I can't see opening up to someone with whom I felt that level of formality.
...And while my last therapist/pdoc was quite a bit older than me, I'm older than both my current T and my current pdoc.
