Just a quick thought today.

A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far Far Away the Star Wars Prequels didn't exist.

So us old-timers had only Alec Guinness' portrayal of Obi-Wan to go on. I didn't even think about his until just now, but back then "Ben Kenobi" was used more often than "Obi-Wan Kenobi" or at least, interchangeably.

So now with 6 more hours of Ewan McGregor being referred to exclusively as Obi-Wan do you personally find yourself referring to our Jedi friend as "Ben" at all anymore?

I do, but not nearly as often as I used to

"I haven't gone by the name Ben since oh, before Episode 1 came out."

Addition: Comparison between how many times he's called Ben vs. Obi-Wan

Episode IV:

14 Lines have him called "Obi-Wan"
9 have him called "Ben"

Episode V:

7 Lines have him called "Obi-Wan"
8 have him called "Ben"

Episode VI:

4 Lines have him called "Obi-Wan"
2 have him called "Ben"
