I know "EXACTLY" what you mean. there's one actor in particular ( a Whedon Trifecta) who always greets me warmly and who I consider a friend (not a "see every so often, call regularly" friend, but someone who I know, who knows me and I'm happy to see)
To me, namedropping is vulgar and only done by people who really don't know the person they're dropping. I may get jealous that you know these people, but I'd never consider you a namedropper. you know them, you're friends with them. It's the same as me saying I went to Mark (my best friend) and kath's wedding.
Feel free to gush about it to me. I'll gladly slap any idiot that accuses you of namedropping.
