The NameSake Effect

When you stumble upon the musical greatness of the band NameSake you are left with what i like to call ***THE NAMESAKE EFFECT***

It is the bittersweet aftermath of having heard one of their catchy songs, seen one of their swooning smiles or have been embraced by one of their hugs. This sensation leaves you craving more. You may not realize the limitless hours you spend searching youtube for more NameSake videos, the countless times you have checked their twitters, or that you stalk their facebooks at least a dozen times daily. Do not be alarmed this reaction to NameSake is normal.

Will, Troy, Seth, Kevin and Brad - these five boys are true talents with humble hearts, they are to blame for this brain shaking fixation. NameSake lyrics and melodies navigate your way into another world where there are no limits, no rules. Proceed with joy as you are engulfed in The NameSake Effect :)

"i find myself searching for you" -NameSake

(car ride to the grocery store)
MOM: "Are we really listening to Borders and Fences again? But honey, you used to listen to a variety of music, what happened?"

ME: " NameSake happened!"

(car ride to the mall)
FRIEND: "You have been single for months and still wont date anyone, why?"
ME: "Well why should I even bother dating, when I already know who will be my future husband, he is in the band NameSake."

nametake

No, a nametake would be the person who's name comes from another person. For example, Dr. King would be Martin Luther's nametake. After all, a namesake is a person who has been named after - so the reverse would not be the exact same thing.

No beef/feelings - just sayin

Cat Niesse (younger generation) is Catherine Douvalt's (older generation) nametake.

nametakelongfind

A person who started playing EverQuest long after its release who became so frustraighted at finding a name for his character that he gave up trying to find one.

Games that allow only first names suck.
