Re: You might be a name geek....
in reply to a message by Mackadal
...if you have ever shown your friends a list of some names you like and they haven't heard of any of them.
...if your significant other has ever has ever awoken you with a text message asking the meaning and origin of a name.
...if you actually find the obituaries more interesting than the birth announcements just because of the names.
...if you have a method of testing the accuracy of baby name books.
...if you don't actually own any of the books because you can't find any that have passed your test.
...if you had a dream that involved name etymology.
(All of these apply to me, heh.)
