What’s the name of the best person you know?

[jinha]

I really like hearing baby name suggestions based on real people. For example “what about the name, Arty? I grew up with an arty he was the nicest guy ever”

Share the name of someone you think is amazing and why. And / or do you know a few people with the same name and can make a statement like “I like the name Maya, never met a bad Maya.”

That’s so subjective though!

Emma.

Also Leo.

Dominic. A friend of 50 years. Unfailingly kind, reliable, thoughtful and fun. We rarely see each other now. We live about as far from each other as physically possible. He pops into my thoughts most days - an excellent man.

Never met an Ella I didn't like, never met a Peter you couldn't rely on.

the nicest people I’ve met have been called

christopher
john

kate
rachel

Esther. A family member who didn't have children of her own but was adored by several generations of children for her kindness and wisdom.

Can't go wrong with a Sue.

I've had 3 best friends in my life.

2 have been called Emma.

My best friends are Trudy and Ann

I've known some supremely lovely Karens as it happens.

Katie and Heather. People called Katie always seem to be good friends to have, and I want to be like a particular Heather when I grow up! Also, one of Heather's DILs, but she has such a rare name that she is the first thing to pop up (several times) if you type her name into Google.

Tom and Phillip are good people to know.

Daphne
David
Maisie
(Edited to add Maisie)

Adam
Camille

Sandra, my first cousin she is an angel ❤️. Annie my grandmother.
Nicest man Matthew .

Another vote for Katie. Every Katie I know is good fun but also has your back.
