name dropping 

Referring to someone who is popular or famous in order to let the other person know that you yourself are popular and actually have friends. The event being described is usually a lie, or the story was exaggerated. Most of the time name dropping is used by people who think they are cool, but are not.
Can become very hazardous to one's mental and sometimes physical health.

Julio: "I was just chilling with my boy Will Smith, and we hella partied and shit."
Matt: "Did you really dude? That makes you hella cool."
Louis: "Shaaam, i think you're just name dropping."

name definition

a really annoying thing that happens a whole lot. For some reason people have the habit for writing definitions for names.

Ex. Bob is the most caring, athletic, cool guy you will ever know. he is also (insert other random bullshit).

really? I didn't know Bob was all of those things. In fact I know a guy named Bob and he's a DICK.

Now you see why name definitions can backfire and have no use?
Name definitions are never going to end. oh well.

Name-Praise Whores 

The people on Urban Dictionary who randomly praise their own name or someone else's name for the sakes of either:
A) being an attention whore, or

B) to praise random people by giving a bullshit definition for their name here on UD.

People praising their lovers' names over UD are not fully or necessarily Name-Praise Whores - they are something FAR worse...
The people who define names such as Eli shown there or Gary shown here are probably Name-Praise Whores.

Paul Smecker: "Yeah, well... I'm an expert in *snaps fingers* name-ology."

name dropper 

Someone who constantly mentions celebrities, politicians, executives, or popular individuals in conversation with others in an attempt to seem cooler or more elite than average. Name droppers salivate at the opportunity to mention they have met/known/seen a famous person, and will insert a famous name into any conversation possible, despite how obscure or irrelevant the celebrity is.
John: I thought Gina was so down to earth, then I realized she was a total name dropper when she mentioned her dad knew the drummer from the Smashing Pumpkins and that her best friend's uncle was Dave Chapelle.

Jessica: Haha, she told me her brother-in-law's neighbor is Carrie Underwood. Stupid name dropping bitch.
