It's mainly about consistency I think, like if someone uses names frequently normally about everyone then honestly it's just nice, like yeah I like hearing my name used by people.

It gets really obvious though is if it's a habit specifically used only for trans/non-binary that you're intentionally trying to avoid pronouns for. Because with you'll then quickly be noticed referring to other people and catch the pattern.

I should also reiterate though that misgendering is often going to happen early into coming out, particularly someone you've known a long time, so it's expected and nobody's going to think much of it at the start. Using names excessively sometimes happens here just to avoid the slip-ups but it runs the risk of that becoming the new habit instead.
