I think I might have grown from being a name nerd to being a name addict. 
I wish I had family who were into names because I really want to discuss my names, but I don’t want to clog the forum with my questions.
Has anyone gone through the experience of having names on your mind constantly or something similar?
Haha, the story of my life! I think about names basically every free moment I have to do so… okay not quite, but seems like it sometimes! I talk about names with anyone who’ll listen. One of the first things people learn (or remember) about me tends to be that I love names. Close friends make fun of me for it every time I bring up names, and I can’t help but laugh with them. When I’m at a big public event, especially those with lots of kids, I use my phone to make note of the names I hear called out.
I tend to not have specific questions, just scattered thoughts, so I don’t start many threads on NB 
I am a name addict, and not ashamed! I g on my iPad during class just to get some NB time. I went on it today and my friend [name_u]Whitney[/name_u] told me “Are you pregnant?!”. I laughed in hr face. People don’t understand the [name_u]Berry[/name_u] Life!
It’s kind of funny for me, and I wonder if it’s a hormonal thing (because I’m not just name loving but quite broody at times), but I can go days without checking Nameberry or spending much time on here… And then a few days later I’m on here for hours, and on my list app editing and recreating combinations, new lists etc, almost all day.
My boyfriend has begun to pay attention to the credits for movies and shows along with me and will call out a notable name for my attention, so I think that’s progress, haha.
But yes my obsession comes and goes, extremely. 
I definitely spend too much time on Nameberry on occasion. I’ll go months without logging in, or thinking about it at all, and then I’ll hear a name that inspires me to come back and post. It can be addictive.
However, whenever I think my addiction is bad, I’ll see a poster who joined a month ago and has nearly equaled my post count, and then I feel better. (Then again, if I posted that much, I don’t think I’d have time for, you know, actually caring for my extant children. :))
@[name_f]Em[/name_f]- I always say that good thing I’ve never had a boyfriend and I’m the type of girl you’d never imagine as a teen mother, otherwise people would probably get suspicious!
Pretty much every day.
I am on maternity leave from my job. It’s my me time when the kids have their little day sleep I go on my exercise bike and read nb at the same time.
I’m a complete name addict! I am on a baby name website every chance I get. I always pay attention to names on tv shows and movies. [name_m]Just[/name_m] today when I was doing my homework, I was looking at all the name of authors in my literature textbook. Found quite a few gems! My mom and I talk about names occasionally, but she’s not into them as much as me. She discovered my list of favorite names the other day and she read the list to my dad. It was kind of embarrassing, but she did like most of the names on my list. lol My dad had no idea how interested in names I am and he thinks it’s kind of a weird obsession. I think it worries him that I’ve already chosen the names for my children and I’m not even married or dating anyone. lol.
Yes.
I used to get “Pinterest headaches”. Now I get Nameberry headaches.
I am absolutely obsessed with names. I find myself thinking about names for what seems to be a ridiculous amount of time each day.
I actually used to be fortunate enough to live across the road from a cemetery for 4 years…I say fortunate because there was a wealth of hidden and forgotten names on the gravestones and plaques to contemplate. I used to do my daily walk in there so I could surround myself with names! I never needed an ipod in those days lol.
See this sounds reasonable/healthy. I, on the other hand, work full time, am not expecting, not trying to conceive, do not technically know anything about names other than my personal preferences, yet still manage to eek out 8 point something comments a day?!? I just love to live vicariously through you all. I want to have more kids, just not in a position to do so yet!
Oh my goodness, yes. I am thinking about names off and on throughout the day. I find myself checking out names in magazines, books, tv shows. Listening to names when I am out and about. I blame NB.
I’m so happy it’s not just me!
[name_f]Love[/name_f] it! 
I know how you feel, @ikfly. When my friends ask me what I did all [name_m]Saturday[/name_m], I say I was on the computer. When they ask what I was doing, I am embarassed to say that I spent hours pouring over names. I spend way too much time on Nameberry.
So glad it’s not just me! I come home from work, go on nb until dinner then back on nb after dinner. I don’t tell my family/friends because I know that they’d think it was weird
I used to be far more into names before [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] was born, but I don’t really have the time any more. I confess I’ve turned into more of a lurker. I do still log in most days, but I rarely respond to anything. If I had more time I’d be here much more often. I don’t see the point of dwelling on names too much because we won’t be having any more children, so I don’t like clogging the forum with “what if” threads.
@pinkballerina–[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]'s name was one of the first that inspired me/got me hooked! I remember being so surprised I could like a name so much that was not at all my style, just because you hit the sweet spot with your combo! I love it.
