Well, it's not only you....if that's any comfort.
You already know that word orders are quite different between the two languages. And so do many others on JF. Yet when they say "Hello + Name", they somehow don't think of the word order. That unanimity on JF kinda frightens me. The natural order is the opposite if 'naturalness' is important to you. But it's also true that everyone will understand you if you go "Hello + Name" since it's not a sentence involving many words.
Just think about this. What would you think of my English if I said "John Hello!" or "Guys Hi!"?
