<p>Then do you always feel suddenly different (different from the your emotional neutrality to the people who have other names) if that name was mentioned, even if it was said to address someone else?</p>
<p>Like, one could be attracted to someone with the name of Jennifer or Barbara - and then does that person always flinch whenever the name is uttered?</p>
<p>It might be different for everyone. I know that when I hear someone who has the same name of that person that I might just think about them.</p>
<p>^Yeah. I associate names with people I like the most.</p>
<p>I do with some names. I think it depends on how common the name is…</p>
<p>Emotional attraction? I don’t quite understand. What exactly do you mean? How does one become “emotionally attracted” to another?</p>
<p>You like the person’s personality.</p>
<p>Ah, I see.</p>
<p>Yes, I had this anonymous crush on this girl in a chem class I took one year. I was in love with her. But the lights went out on the whole thing when she told me her name: Delfina Hitler</p>
<p>^Seriously? I’d change my name to … anything. Jane Doe, even.</p>
<p>People still have that name?!?</p>
<p>Anyways I’ve had crushes on people before - and when I heard their first names - it always made me cringe or something (I’m very nervous around anyone who I have a crush on - hence the reaction)</p>
<p>^It’s like we’re twins…</p>
<p>My face always goes bright red. It’s hellishly embarrassing and really, really, really not subtle.</p>
<p>This is kinda the opposite but if I meet people with the name Kristen I usually don’t like them to some extent</p>
<p>^I have that reaction with certain names.</p>
<p>Yeah same as the above two but only until I actually get to know them. If I really like them, they can change my opinion of the name to a certain extent.
Not so much the other way around but I tend to associate those names with good people unless proven otherwise.</p>
<p>See, I try not to stereotype against people with these names, but a lot of times they all end up having traits I don’t like and/or annoy me.</p>
<p>when i meet ppl who have the same name as me i sort of assume they are as awsome (or ■■■■■■■■) as me.</p>
<p>I hate the only other person I know with my name.
…and the name has nothing to do with it.</p>
<p>I don’t particularly hate any name. I know my current crush by a nickname (internet) and ex-lover — I never called him by his name but his name is very unique and I only know him by that name — and I do flinch when either of them are mentioned. I <3 them. They’re mine! :P</p>
<p>I have slight to moderate name fetishes, yes.</p>
