Does your significant other know you have a Nameberry account? [name]Do[/name] they know what Nameberry is? [name]Do[/name] you tell your significant other when we (berries) dislike or like certain names/combos?
I am super curious to see what your answers are.
My [name]Answer[/name]: My boyfriend does know I have one, He does know it is a place to find names, discuss names, gather advice and ask other questions. I try to involve him but he leaves it up to me. He knows I like to blog and that I am name lover so he is a supporter. It is super cute when he asks “are you nameberring right now?” I do tell him when you berries give me advice on names etc. I usually say “well the berries liked it!” especially when in his mind some of my names/combos are ridiculous.
Well, I don’t have an SO, but my family is aware that I spend time here. They give me weird looks when I talk about it, but that’s the extent of their care.
I don’t have a SO, but my family definitely knows! Most of them thinks its weird, but my mum likes discussing name with me. She sometimes tells me the names of some of babies she looks after at the hospital.
Yes, my husband knows! Given the amount of time I spend on this site, it’s surprising how little I actually discuss names with him in real life. A few times I’ve mentioned threads on this site to him or mentioned what people have thought of certain names or other topics. He doesn’t really care! [name]Every[/name] now and then he’ll see me on the computer or my phone and say, “On Nameberry again?” In fact, I think it’s his fault I’m on this site to begin with. Before we started TTC, I desperately wanted to start a baby name list, but wouldn’t let myself (didn’t want to be prematurely baby-crazed). A few months ago we were talking names and he said, “You should make a list.” So I did. And that’s when I discovered Nameberry! See, all his fault!
I don’t have a SO, but my sister and mother know. After showing my sister Nameberry for the first time, she went and made an account. She posted a little here for a few days, but then grew tired of it. After all, it will be a few years before either of us are TTC. It is probably good that she is not on here a lot though, we tend to disagree on names.
My SO does know I spend a lot of time on here, but I don’t think he’s aware I have an account. We are still a long ways away from babies, so I try not to bring up any names too frequently but every now and then I’ll ask him the “If you had a baby tomorrow…” or casually drop a name crush to see if he has any reaction.
My fiancé (for 8 more days, wheeeee!) knows. He asks me if I’ve been on NB every day. He’s getting a little leery of the “What do you think of (insert name here)” question, but he always listens to me.

My answer: I’m 14 at the moment so that answers most of your questions. My sister knows that I have an account and my mother knows that I’m a huge name nerd. My dad would probably be quite scared if he knew.
Hubby knows and thinks it is completely unnecessary/obsessive, ha! But he also knows that I enjoy it, even if babies are some time away, do sometimes he will play along and talk about names. His naming style isn’t very “nameberryish,” though.
[name]Hi[/name]! I’m a new berrie so I haven’t mentioned this to anyone I know yet. I come from hong kong and I’m a chinese, so I don’t discuss english names with my friends - it just never comes up in our conversations. I don’t mind telling them, though, they know I have rather unusual interests.
Yes, my husband knows about Nameberry. I sometimes ask him which name he prefers when I’m replying to a poll. I don’t tell him much about other Berries’ opinions on our names because it wouldn’t sway him one way or the other anyway. He does know that it was someone on here who talked me into considering the name [name]Brigid[/name], which makes him happy. But mostly he think everyone on here is crazy because I tell him about all the really out there names I see on here LOL!
My SO knows. He used to think it was weird but now says he finds it rather adorable. I talk to him about names pretty often and he actually has great taste.
DBF totally knows, but thankfully isn’t too weirded out. We’ve been together long enough that we have conversations about our hypothetical future children - how we’ll raise them, where they’ll go to school, and of course, what their names will be! I don’t know if he could tell you the name of this site, but he knows that I love names and I spend time online researching them.
I will tell you, though, that I have a Word doc with my favorite names, their meanings and how popular they were the previous year, and they’re all organized by origin (Italian, Latin, English, etc.). [name]Both[/name] DBF and my family think I’m super weird for that…I like to think I’m just being organized!
My husband knows and he is very aware of my obsession with names. He doesn’t really care, but sometimes he’s mildly interested in my names or threads. He knows all our current “contenders” but won’t actually talk about them until I’m pregnant.
He isnt hot on names!
