Hmm.. My short answer is don't do it if you want to sound like a native english speaker.
I have never heard a native english speaker say that, I think when I've heard it, it is said by a non-native english speaker. I doubt anyone would be offended by it, they might actually laugh a little since it sounds a bit weird and funny for some reason.

@vz9002 I'm curious of this question.
If your teacher's name is Victoria.
She is 20 years old.
How about calling her Miss Victoria
??
Or what possible options could be?
edit: What could her students call her?

@AnnaFromMoscow In the US we'd use Mr/Mrs/Ms/Miss and their last name.

if you’re intending to sound formal or serious, i wouldn’t recommend it. it’s not very common to hear. when i do hear it, it just has more of a casual air, a bit hard for me to explain but it could be playful/teasing/lighthearted or something like that. i’ve also heard children do this sometimes. but overall i wouldn’t address a superior this way especially if you know their last name, i would probably get a weird look from someone like a teacher if i did that to them

I do it all the time. Why not?
I call my friend’s mother “Ms. First Name”. Hell, I call all of my mother’s friends “Mr./Ms. First Name”.
You wouldn’t sound any less natural. It’s quite normal in my region.

My sister's friends refer to my mother as "Ms First Name," it's definitely something people do here.
I wouldn't say it's common, especially for adults.
For your boss? I wouldn't recommend it.
Is it okay in general? Probably. Would I want to be called Mr Vince? Not really

This might be a regional difference too. It was common for us to call friends’ parents “Miss First Name” in the Southern US. It’s considered rude to call someone by their first name (as a child) and too formal to say Miss/Mr Last Name for a closer family friend. But different parents have different rules for their own children. My parents didn’t make me say Mr/Mrs so I didn’t usually do it, but my friend always had too.
Sometimes you can also call people (of the same age/usually younger age) Mr/Ms first name as a nickname.

Yeah, I think it’s a regional thing. Growing up, I’d call my friends parents like that, and I wouldn’t see it as too odd to call someone like that, but it’s not something to do in a formal setting.

If you want to be formal, I recommend using Ms./Mrs./Mr./ and their LAST name.
