yes, appointment for some events like, get-togethers, parties, of course dates etc. "约" is the word, you can say "我们约出来见个面吧!"wǒmen yuē chūlai jiàn ge miàn ba"!"我们" can be friends, family members, co-workers and even somebody you have business relationship with.

"联系", You found it! Thanks, it's fixed!

In countryside, some parents will give their children nicknames without taste and decency, eg. "二狗" Èr gǒu, literally, two dogs,"傻蛋",Shǎdàn, literally, “stupid egg”,and means idiot, "石头" Shítou, literally, "rock" or "stone". There is a saying that, the king of hell doesn't like people with these names, so the king won't accept them! That's why parents give their children these strange names.
