I will not have kids for a long time [hopefully!], but I have a thing of staying clear from names of friends I had growing up.

For example I really like the name Georgia but I had a best friend for many years named that. She was nice, but I would feel weird naming my daughter that.

I also like the name Grace but I had a horrible friend named that in 6th grade so I will never ever give my daughter that name.

Do other people feel like this? Or do I just have problems letting go? ; )

You are definitely NOT the only one. I won't name a son the same name as an ex. Even though some of them have really great names, I don't want to name my son that and then think of the ex every time I think of my son. Ick. And hardly any of my friends have names I'd want to use anyway.
I WOULD name my kids after family members.
