Alright...I always see posts here discussing the bad names our friends have bestowed on their LOs- but I would be interested to see what you would say are the names that our friends chose that you were pleasantly surprised by?
Of my friends, my two favorite-ly named kiddos would be an acquaintance with a LO named Miranda Sinead and a close friend with a 3 YO DD named Courtney Rose. Courtney Rose is going to be a big sis next month, so I am expecting an equally adorable sibling name.
Any one willing to share? Part of me is looking for entertainment and the other part of me is hoping a boy name will stand out to me (for future reference, of course).

Most of my friends have names their kids what I consider to be trendy/popular names. I can't say I dislike any of them but they aren't something I would choose for my kids. I tend to like old fashioned/classic names, which honestly probably aren't very
My friends (mostly) have excellent taste in names:
Boys: Daniel, Gavin, Grant, Alec, Wesley (2), Kyle, Tristan, Riley, Samuel, Luke, Dylan (2), Ty, Nathan, James, Carter (2), Carson, William, Charlie
Girls: Josephine, Alice, Kaitl
I don't have any qualms about the names my friends / family have given their kids, but I do have a friend of a friend of a friend who named her son "Awesome". Yes, really.
I am very perplexed by that choice.
A lot of my friends have given their children some not great names. I still love the kids but eh.
These are fine and/or good to me:
Cole and Tyler (brothers)
Landon
Abigail and Samantha (sisters)
Harvey

My fav sib set is two girls: Claire Elise and Morgan Leigh. I told them that if we have a girl, they can name her for us!
No major stand outs for boys coming to mind
My friends have very different taste in names than I do.
