student asking question

Can I use a proper noun like a person's name after "being the best"? Like, Being the best Jason?

Native speaker’s answer

Yes, you can. However, most common way of using this expression includes the words "best you," so it would sound more natural to simply use the expression as is. Using a person's name instead is a little less common. Ex: Just be the best you that you can be. EX: I'm going to be the best version of myself.
