Title sums it all up!
My answer: Nameberry has provided me with a site where I can discuss names, knowing I will get truthful opinions. It has given me a place to be open, seek advice and to be apart of peoples naming journeys. Plus I am totally addicted to berring. This site is definitely like a drug! I can not wait to conceive so I can actually start my own naming journey.
Well, same as you, [name]Scarlet[/name]! Mostly, it’s a great place for me to come while I’m TTC to discuss and vent. There’s nobody in real life I could talk to this much about this stuff, so this site has become very important to me. Like you, I can’t wait to begin my own naming journey on Nameberry!
Nameberry has provided me with an outlet for my love of names as well as offering a wonderful community of like minded individuals who are willing to offer up their own experiences an opinions. Now that my husband and I are so close to ttc it has become even more important to me as I love having people to bounce ideas and the various situations that come up when starting a family. I cannot wait to truly begin my naming journey like [name]Scarlet[/name] and [name]Sarah[/name] and I so much appreciate the feedback of this great naming center. You guys all rock :)!
I would like to thank Nameberry for…
Assuring me that my taste in names is not as heinous as Yahoo Answers led me to believe.
Giving me a place to obsessively discuss names with people who “get it.”
Exposing me to a myriad of new names and naming styles.
Giving me confidence in my style and encouraging me to find meaningful names that I would actually bestow upon a human being.
Sending me off the name nerd “deep end.” 
I’ve had several people tell me that I know entirely too much about names now. Ha!
And, hey, I’ve made a few friends along the way. It’s been fun.
Nameberry has given me greater insight into the naming zeitgeist, and has helped me confront and overcome some of my own biases:)
Nameberry has introduced me to some awesome names that I otherwise wouldn’t have considered and made me feel more confidant in names that I’ve loved for a long time. Also, the moms forums have given me a lot of great information that I know will come in handy when I finally get pregnant!
Loving everyone’s responses!!!
Definitely an outlet to share ideas, concerns, questions, and just general information with other Mom’s. TTC will be a lot easier having so many people in the same situation to talk to. Also I love that I don’t have to bug my husband with names anymore and I have a way to talk about names without appearing “baby obsessed.” [name]Every[/name] time I mention names to my Mom or friends, they give me the eyebrow because they think I’m planning on having like 8 more kids or something. I can’t just generally like names for the sake of liking names. I also like that the overwhelming majority of Berries are intelligent, articulate, kind, and I really value their opinions and advice.
Well said Rowangreeneyes! I know the feeling, I think men’s brains and ears are not made to hear or discuss baby names. It is really interesting to see how many berrie’s boyfriends, partners, husbands do not like discussing names.
I can’t wait for you naming journey to begin either! Although this may sound weird I feel like you and I are in the same boat.
I’ve only been a member for a couple weeks but it’s given me something fun to do while nursing my daughter at 2 am or during naptime. I have fun playing around with names I wouldn’t actually use in the name games section.
[name]Welcome[/name] to Nameberry! @feberin
I’ve been obsessed with names ever since I was a child. I’d pull my mom’s baby naming books off the shelf and pore over them constantly, especially this one about baby name astrology (which thinking back was a really odd thing for my hyper-conservative [name]Christian[/name] mother to have, haha). I started countless “stories” and “plays” for the sole purpose of having an excuse to come up with an exorbitantly long list of “main characters” on which I could bestow all of my ridiculous name crushes. That’s not something I ever talked to people about before Nameberry, which is odd because I was really vocal about all my other interests.
So Nameberry has provided a lot of firsts for me:
I feel like Nameberry is genuinely a community, especially compared to Yahoo Answers and even other naming sites. There are so many people here that I connect with intellectually and empathetically; even though we’re from a wide range of backgrounds and locations, we all share at least one thing: a love of names. It’s so fulfilling to provide assistance to each other and follow each others’ name journeys. I also have to say how much I appreciate the fact that even though I’m not TTC yet, I still get such thoughtful and helpful feedback on all my lists and my threads!
To sum up: Nameberry is awesome ([name]Pam[/name] and [name]Linda[/name] may you live forever), and Berries are the bomb diggity 
Wow, thanks everyone. You made my day…or should I say, life? Really such lovely sentiments and so generous of you to express them! Thank you.
Oh wow, sleepysessha–this really warms our hearts.
Long before nameberry.com or even the internet existed, and back when “unique” names were decidedly uncool, I used the book “Beyond [name]Jennifer[/name] and [name]Jason[/name]” to pick a new middle name ([name]Catherine[/name]) for myself at age 18 to replace the one given to me by my hippie dad ([name]Rainbow[/name]).
[name]One[/name] of the best decisions I ever made!

Nameberry has made me feel more confident about the fact that I am a Namenerd. And proven to me that there are other Namenerds out there, so it’s OK that I just really like names and name stats.
Also, keeps me updated on interesting name information.
What has Nameberry done for me? Let’s see…
I first came to Nameberry because of the lists and advice. I like names, but I wanted more “education” on them, so to speak. And then I checked out the forums and found a group of knowledgeable, honest, kind people who actually seemed like a community, and I wanted to be a part of it. This is the first time I’ve ever been part of an online community, and although I spend more time reading than posting, I’ve enjoyed my experience so far. The ladies on the Momberries board are very supportive and I do feel like we are becoming “friends” of a sort! I’m just starting TTC now, and I am looking forward to the time when I can start my own naming journey because I know I’ll get helpful advice on the naming boards.
What does TTC mean?
