The problem is that the mailman may decide that it was misaddressed, since they don't know anyone with that name who lives at that address. To get around that, some people will say c/o (in care of) and the name of the family who lives there.
If so then yes. The name up top can really be anything. My aunt use to address my birthday cards with "Birthday Girl" instead of my real name. She only did that for my birthday and it made me feel special. Now if you are minor your friend's parents may find it odd that you are getting mail at their home. They may not be happy about it and find it suspicious.

I can send a letter to YOUR address with ANYONE'S name. The USPS couldn't care less.
Seems so.... Used to be Addressed as "Care Of" often written as c/o.
These days, letter carriers deliver by address and largely ignore names,
It used to be unlawful, using an address as a "mail drop". (the FBI did not like it.)

I don’t know if it’s allowed but yes you can do it if you have their consent, what isn’t allowed is opening another person’s mail.
