Doesn't name dropping add some sort of credibility, as far as discussions go? It's not like you're using the name drop to get anything in return.

I'll concede that it did offer some credibility in the Arcade Fire example, as we were talking about their character and SHE had some personal experience. But what credibility is required to tell us that okkervil river is actually playing at this festival? Either way, if you name drop you can usually expect that people will make fun of you, or at least that's what Keith Richards used to tell me.
