Here's a conversation starter: what were the names of all your various "best friends" growing up? and would you ever consider using them?

My list:
Laura Phelps
Andrea Beth
Margaret
Michael Paul
Kelsey
Lydia
Valencia Hope
Noelle Marie
Chloe Ann
Chase Pierre
Jeremy Taylor
Christopher Peter
Jennifer Lynn
Genevieve Kwok-Yun
Matthew Edward
Whitney Taylor (female)
Angela Marie

Of those, i think the only combination i'd consider using is matthew edward (but probably wouldn't - i've known too many other matthews). for individual names i'd be most likely to use: margaret (family name), paul (but not as a first name - it's my last name), lydia, christopher, matthew, and edward (family name).

how about your friends?

Katie
Heather
Amanda
Shannon
Danolita
Amy Jo
Jonny

My favorite of those is Amy Jo, but I still wouldn't use it because it would be like naming my daughter after her

*Michael Paul (my brother)
Alyssa Florence
Erin _______
Stephanie Kay
*Brian Keith
Rachel Leigh
Sarah Anne
Andrika Marie
Adam Michael
*Courtney Lil (I plan to use the middle name Lilah or Lillian)
Jennifer Rose
Jessica Anne
Jessica Lynn
*Ryan Michael
*William John
*Emily Wilkins
*Adrienne Elizabeth

bold names are ones I like; ones with (*) are people I would consider naming my kids after. Even though I have some first AND middle names bolded, I wouldn't use any of these as the actual combos. I love some of them, but I think it'd be weird to name my son Ryan Michael after my friend, even though I totally adore him; I'd use Ryan as a middle name.

Heehee...your friend's name is Kelsey.

My best friends growing up were:

Lacey
Noah
Lolly
Melissa
Janet
Bess
Elizabeth
Sarah
Jeri
Danielle
Kerstin

Most of my friends have very nice names, and I'd totally consider using a lot of them, like Sarah or Kerstin or Elizabeth/Bess (they were both my best friends in second grade, it was kind of weird). I'm too mad at Danielle to use her name, though.

Ones I forgot:
Danielle and Dominique (identical twins)
William (went by Will)
Michael

I'm not sure if I'd use any of these names because they represent the person too much, but I really like William and Will as a nickname.

amanda may
allexandra brogan
alexis meredith
sarah ann
chloe louise
victoria
(travis)ramey
christopher
carlton matthew
johnathan
kathleen
lauren rose
tara-rachelle
william
andrea

i couldn't really use any of these names because i don't know, it just doesn't feel right. plus a lot of these names don't appeal to my taste.
ramey is of of my current friends, i really love his name, but he's also my boyfriend and if we break up, that'd be really weird. i also really like the name alexis and chloe, but they're kind of trendy right now. i might use alexis as a middle name in in honor of her. she's my bestestest friend.

Ryan Thomas
Lucy Olivia [she now goes by Luci]
Kathryn Ann
Zoe [can't remeber]
Anna
Stephanie Louise
Ashley Steven [I think]
Imogen Grace [beautiful name]
Gary
Michael [something]
Alexander Thomas
Rachael Sophie

The only ones I'd use are Imogen - which my boyfriend hates, Alex - not so keen on Alexander, and Ryan - which I lovem but I think it'd be odd to use it as we've been nest friends since we were about 3!
