提名道姓 is a Chinese idiom (chengyu) meaning “to address someone directly by their full name”. Often implying a lack of proper respect or formality in a given situation.
Madame Wang, Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu, and others were chatting in Granny Jia's room when someone reported that Shi Xiangyun had arrived. Everyone went to greet her, and thus another beautiful young woman joined the Grand View Garden.
Jia Baoyu rushed over to see Shi Xiangyun and, upon seeing her, was extremely delighted, affectionately calling her by her name.
Madame Wang advised him not to call her by her full name directly, after which they continued to play together until late at night.
