Is this correct: “In fact, my best friend, Dalton, and I…”?
Dalton is my best friend, there are only 2 people in the statement.

no because Dalton wasn’t even there, so I don’t know what lies you’re trying to spread
just a joke, but it’s a hint
try dropping the whole part of Dalton from the statement
and then ask if it is correct:
In fact, I …went to the party (or whatever).
You wouldn’t say, for example,
Me went to the party.

If you leave the comma before and after “Dalton,” the sentence is a little ambiguous. It could be interpreted that there are three people in the sentence: 1) my best friend, 2) Dalton, and 3) I. You can make the sentence more clear by dropping the commas before and after Dalton (“In fact, my best friend Dalton and I….”) or you can just drop “Dalton” altogether (“In fact, my best friend and I….”). I hope that makes it more clear for you.

It is correct. If you were to take out the comma after Dalton, you would be speaking to “my best friend.” I assume you are talking about your best friend, and his name is Dalton.

Drop the comma after friend and the comma after Dalton and your in business.

That’s correct if the sentence structure stays intact. “My best friend Dalton and I had lunch on Church Street” is correct. If you throw in multiple modifiers, it could get misconstrued.

it sounds correct, but I think you may have an extra comma hidden in there.
