Ashley Kozich, a 30-year-old professional working for a community foundation in Fort Lauderdale, has a special bond with her eight closest friends from the University of Mississippi. Together, they form a vibrant group chat that has evolved over time. In recent years, several members of the group have become proud parents, prompting them to feature the newest arrivals in their group photo.
However, one thing has remained consistent throughout their journey together – their group name, “The Sorry People.” Ms. Kozich explains, “During our college days, we were a wild bunch of girls, always finding ourselves amidst chaos and mischief. Each morning, we would embark on these apology tours, making amends for our actions.”
Over the years, the name “The Sorry People” has taken on a life of its own. Ms. Kozich shares, “It has been our identity for more than a decade, and people often inquire about our group as ‘The Sorry People.’ I don’t think we could be known as anything else.”
Indeed, many group chat names that originate within such close-knit communities are now finding their way into other aspects of life.
During the pandemic, Tim Monaghan, a 39-year-old publicist residing in Brooklyn, initiated a group chat with his dearest friends, naming it “Meet Me at Fanelli’s” after a popular bar in SoHo. Mr. Monaghan explains, “We came up with the name during the pandemic as a way to reminisce about our favorite meeting spot. Fanelli’s represents our longing to reunite.”
When Monica Khemsurov and Jill Singer, both members of the group chat, published a book titled “How to Live With Objects” in November 2022, they dedicated it, acknowledging their friends in the heartfelt dedication. “We extend our gratitude to our Fanelli’s chat, which provided us with endless memes, juicy gossip, and incredible support throughout our journey,” they expressed.
Selecting a meaningful group chat name can instantly bring joy to its members. Ms. Kozich shares, “Every time I see our group name, it brings a smile to my face – and trust me, I see it a lot because this chat is buzzing all day long.”
