Girls, Do you like it when a guy says your name?

I've seen a couple of Tiktoks mentioning it.. usually in dating tips for guys, or things guys do that girls love.
I've always done this..

Obviously they'll only like it like that if there's already some flirting going on, but do you actually like it?

I've noticed a girl I'm talking to says my name much more often that she ever used to.
So I'll say 'How's it going Emma', and she'll respond and say my name.
Which is pretty normal, but she's even saying it in the middle of conversations now too.
I dislike it. It bugs me when guys do that. I didn't realise it was a thing that was recommended, ugh. That just makes it even more irritating.

It doesn't help that guys who take an interest always seem to think it is okay for them to call me by my full name and not the name I chose to use. That's a fast way to not get a date.
I don't know anyone who does it but I have heard of people overusing names, "would you like some tea Deborah, do you want sugar Deborah, and milk Deborah...?" No, that would drive me nuts.

It's annoying. I don't really like my full name, or my Russian name. I prefer nicknames.

Sorry for reviving this thread. Couldn't resist not replying.
Yes, I love it. Especially when he calls me by my nickname. But not too often.
Absolutely! I adore it when a guy says my name. It adds a personal touch to the conversation and makes me feel seen and acknowledged. And I love my name, Laura.
In numerology, it has the number 8, which symbolizes material wealth, authority, and organizational skills. So, when a guy uses my name, it's not just a sound; it's a recognition of those traits.You can calculate your name's number in this article about name numerology.
