I am sorry that you are having problems.

No, you shouldn't have to rebuild the name cache at all. It is on a task to run every day and refresh itself (which is also to help keep the size of the name cache down). I have included the "Rebuild Name Cache" link to help with issues when users change their name and don't want to wait 24 hours for mentions to work correctly.
Apparently, something is corrupting the name cache or otherwise causing issues when it loads (that is the first thing that happens when you type your first @ in a post)
Do me a favor? Try these things:
1. Disable Minify Javascript setting in ACP -> Config -> MentionMe Settings and try again.
2. If that doesn't help, please use your console to check for JS errors or issues (generally shift+F5 gets you to console, on Firefox, it is Ctrl+Shift+K)
If you get an errors, please post them here.
Also, you can go to ACP -> Tools & Maintenance -> Cache Manager -> [wildcard_plugins] and check the "mentionme" entries. Look for the "namecache" entry and look for malformed user names or any data that doesn't seem right.

Allowing avatars in the popup does increase the footprint of the plugin a little, but it really isn't enough to worry about in my opinion. In the interest of being forthright, these are the changes when avatars are used:
An extra field is added to the query for building the name cache
The name cache itself grows by a few bytes:
(avatar URL length + allocation space for another array element) x cached users count
————————————
total increase
Also avatars that aren't already cached will have to be loaded, obviously.
