Buddylist variable

The code below is being used in a custom profile page, I am trying to display both the avatar and name of the buddies in the buddylist module.

<!--   BUDDY LIST   -->
<div class="profileblock">
<?php

/* if you want to change which category you grab just change the following line */
$i_want_all_fields_under_this_category = 'Buddy List';
     
$output = ''; 
foreach ($fields as $category => $items) {   
  if($category == $i_want_all_fields_under_this_category) { 
    $output .= '<h2 class="title">'. $category .'</h2>';
    $output .= '<p>';
    foreach ($items as $item) {
    /*for control over which 'titles' you grab you can insert another conditional if-statement here */
      if (isset($item['title'])) {
       /* $output .= '<p class="'. $item['class'] .'">'. $item['title'] .'</p>';*/
      }
    $output .= '<p>'. $item['value'] .'</p>';
    }
    $output .= '</p>';
  }
}

if ( user_access('view buddy lists') || user_access('administer users') ) {
    // if thisuser has friends, show friends
    $outputa = '';
    $i = 0;
    $cnt = variable_get('buddylist_prof_buddies', 8);
    if ($buddies = buddylist_get_buddies($user->uid)) {
      foreach(array_keys($buddies) as $buddy) {
        $account = user_load(array('uid' => $buddy));
   
                $listbuddies[] = $account;
               
                 ?>
<a href="http://www.combatfusion.com/newdrupal/?q=user/<? print $buddy ?>"><img border="1" height="65" width="65" src="http://combatfusion.com/newdrupal/<? print $account->picture?>"></a>

<?
$i++;

if ($i > $cnt) {
$outputa .= '<div class="more-link">' . l(t('view all connects'), 'buddylist', array('title' => t('View more.'))) . '</div>';
break;
}
}
print $outputa;
}
}
?>

<?php print $account->uid ?>


<!--   END BUDDY LIST CODE   -->

Please excuse this terribly ugly code as I am a novice php guy trying to make this work.

My problem: I cannot figure out the variable to print the buddy's name!!! $buddy simply calls the id number so that I can enter it into the img tag and call the avatar, however I am at a loss to decipher a variable to call the simple name of a buddy.

Any help or direction would be appreciated.
