Aside from Avan, those are all names and people he's met, and knew. Some better than others. Impressing someone Elidibus' age would indeed take work, he was certain he wouldn't be able to any time soon. Thousands of years' experience, up against sixteen, most of that tutoring and simulation?
"Elidibus' experience however may be able to allow him insights that the rest of us lack. He might be impressed you're bold enough to ask. I've met Gaia." He's not horrified by that suggestion, which might be telling in of itself. They were absolutely not friends, because he had no friends and would not tolerate it. But they even dressed in similar shades of black! "She is perfectly capable as a fighter, though I have not seen her skills with elemental powers yet. If you wish her aid, and are uncertain how to approach it, I can ask for you."
Definitely not friends, but also perfectly at ease enough to be able to volunteer such a thing.
Sephiroth himself is about the same age, but he hasn't quite cottoned onto why most OTHER sixteenish year old boys might not be quite as keen on being around rich girls who may or may not scorn peasants.
