Friend

I felt uncomfortable when my kids Friended me on facebook. I'm not their friend, dammit! And naming a child Friend just doesn't work for me at all.
I can see how the name could be attractive to a non-English speaker
Fri- is similar to Fred and -nd is like other names like Desmond. To somebody on the complete outside, it could look like a name
But I wouldn't recommend using it

No. Just no
Really, that's terrible
This is getting into "just toss out any random word and decide it's a name" territory.
"Friend" is how old-fashioned Quakers addressed each other. As a first name it is bizarrely impersonal, like Sir or Lady.
