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.”

George Michael.
Dolly Parton.

Same for me. The most lovely person I’ve ever known is Karen. It’s so sad how people have turned the name into a slur. I always planned to name a daughter after my favourite Karen but couldn’t do it now.

This is so arbitrary and unscientific, though. There have probably been/are some delightfully wonderful souls out there named Adolf, Benito or Genghis!

Never met a Nick (or Nicholas) that I didn’t like.

I know loads of lovely Daves!

Joshuas are hard work though.

Matthew

Luke, my neighbour. He’s so kind and would do anything for anyone.

Peter. Generous and utterly reliable.

Fiona - kind - nonjudgmental- intelligent-funny- helpful

Rory - unfalteringly kind and friendly
Susie - ditto

Outside of family;
Tony
Teresa
Sharon
Margaret
Molly.

Great Guys I have met: Robert (Rob) Jake Hugo Huxley Gideon (Gidz) Tom & Chris

Great women I have met: Ruth Camilla (Milly) Fiona Emma Samantha (Sam) and Zara

Peter most reliable
Rory just the kindest

All you'll get are common names from 25+ years ago.

My favourite people: Margaret, Dawn, Maria del Mar, Frances, Rebecca, Elizabeth, Olivia, Lynn, Nicola, Megan.

Sophie. My best friend of 30 years and also DD’s best friend coincidently both share that name and they’re just fabulous people

Some of the nicest,kindest,friendliest and reliable people I know or have met over the years are
Sue
Lorraine
Fiona
Jill
Joanne

Nick
Michael(Mike)
Andrew

Daniel. All Daniels are nice, solid and dependable.

Mike, Manprit and Matt for the men (bit alliterative!)
Liz, Sarah and Justine for the women.

Helen ...always nice , bright and attractive

Hubby

Agree on Karen and also Luke, the two nicest men I know are both Luke.
Hailey.

Lucy.

Barbara. My cousins wife is called Barbara and she is the loveliest person ever buy it is unlikely i would called my child Barbara for the very reason that she is also probably the youngest Barbara I know. It seems to have been a very popular name for women around my Mum's age and seems very dated now. We haven't got to a point yet where it is making a comeback.

Caroline

Another one for Lorraine and Katie.
