Not really. I have dated a lot of women lol. One thing I have noticed is that it seems to be a cultural thing.
Americans rarely say the name of the person they are dating. Especially after a while, its usually pet names.
I dated a Ukrainian woman that asked me why I never said her name, and I didn't really have an answer. I just said I don't know, I didn't mean anything by it, just didn't occur to me until she said something.
The point is, it could just be a personal/cultural thing. If you are curious ask, otherwise I wouldn't look into it too much.

I don't want to undermine your hopes but some people just do that a lot with both guys and girls. It doesn't seem to be an indication of intimacy so much to me as just the way they're taught to address people.
The only time my boyfriend calls me by my first name is when we are upset with each other and just saying a few words. As soon as we've made up, he goes right back to calling me loving names again.
I actually believe that some people say your name while having a conversation with you because they feel superior to you. It's like talking down to you. Biden's Press Secretary does this to Peter from Fox News Channel; and she does it in a condescending way. Like he's a little boy.
I would take it with a grain of salt. The most manioulative POS I was ever with used my name a lot.
I can be shy and will never say someone I like's name when talking to them while I have written out and fantsized about how our names sound together.

If I like a girl, i will say her name a lot. I will also write out her name on letters or texts (yes, some of us guys are still old school and know how to write) Mainly because I like to hear her name and because i want to show her I remember. It establishes a personal touch. So i guess, it is almost kind of manipulative, but for me anyway, its not in a nefarious way
Not really. Some people do it because they’ve learned that if you use a person’s name numerous times once you learned their name it makes it easier to stick in your head. You know how people always say they have trouble remembering names. That’s one technique to use if you’re trying to remember someone’s name who is new to you. There’s a chance he could like you, but there’s not a lot of info there to say or no.
Without knowing any context and history of your guy's relationship with one another, I can't say it means anything at all.
Let me ask you this is he genuinely flirty with you? Does he look for reasons to come talk to you or be near you?
Depends on how often does he say your name. And how he says it… Whenever I like someone, I tend to say their name a lot.
It's either a speech habit or an intentional manipulation technique. Could be either, you know the person better than we do.
I don't think so. Depends on the person.
My partner only uses my name when he wants to grab my attention.
Sometimes people do it on purpose to try to make you feel important. its a technique
The only way, is if he didn’t do this before.
If he started doing this now …. 👈
I think it is just a normal thing guys do and not an indication of feelings for you.
He just wants to make sure he remembers it’s and doesn’t get you mixed up with his other girl.
It's a way to get the other person to feel more engaged and for the conversation to feel more personal.
It doesn't mean anything. They use my name to grab my attention. After all, you want the person you want to talk to to acknowledge you.
He's trying to remember it or manipulate you.
the person is an excited person and has an interest in you :)
Ask the person doing that - not a bunch of strangers that can[t read minds.
Pretty vague but sounds like a Filthy Casual, NO MEME.
I wouldn’t look into it to much
you really like him though huh
No I don't think it means anything
No, that does not mean anything.
