Choosing a Best Friend Group Nickname

Download Article

1. 1
   Consider your group's vibes and interests. When coming up with a group name for you and your besties, it's a good idea to choose one that matches the ~aura~ of you and your buds. Is there any particular interest or aesthetic that unites you? Did you meet at a certain time or place? Do you have something unique in common that differentiates you from other people? Try using these details in your group name.

   • For instance, if you met in eighth-grade bio, your name could be "Bio Babes."
2. 2
   Pick a name you all like. You may be obsessed with the idea of referring to your friend group as the Hex Girls (from Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost), but if someone else in the group hasn't seen that movie, they probably won't vibe with that name. Pick a name you can all relate to and feel connected with.
