You may as well place a sign on your child's head when they get to school that says come and tease me!

Or parents could teach their kids to be kind

Falcon.

I've come across similar style names before and it doesn't take all that long to get used to them.

Joeybee · 01/07/2017 22:04

Not liking eother of those name tbh, they're bit too out there. However Forest sounds better than Falcon...Falcon sounds like a stage name for a wrestler or something.

MaisyPops · 01/07/2017 20:43

Neither.
Sorry. If I heard either of them I'd just think why not call the child bookcase, butterfly, cloud?

Zoflorabore · 01/07/2017 20:42

Is this a joke? Grin

AndTakeYourHorseWithYou · 01/07/2017 20:41

Neither.

Ridiculous names! You may as well place a sign on your child's head when they get to school that says come and tease me!

I think Forest is lovely actually but I'd be put off by the 'run, Forrest' thing. That association isn't going anywhere unfortunately

Fairenuff · 01/07/2017 20:26

I don't think so.

Amee1992x · 01/07/2017 20:26

Prefer forest, don't like falcon

Doesn't almost every name has a potential teasing element if you try though?

villainousbroodmare · 01/07/2017 20:24

Both dire imo, sorry. If they were the last two names in the world, then Forest.

Figaro2017 · 01/07/2017 20:24

Captain Scott's middle name was Falcon.

No wonder he fucked off to the Antarctic.

Fairenuff · 01/07/2017 20:23

But won't he be saddled with 'Run, Forest, run'? Surely you don't want that for your child?

titsbumfannythelot · 01/07/2017 20:20

Didn't you watch gladiators?

In the nicest way possible op, no to either.

Viewofhedges · 01/07/2017 20:19

If you call someone falcon you can almost guarantee that they will have the opposite attributes of a fast, ferocious bird of prey. I really wouldn't.

Screamer1 · 01/07/2017 20:17

Isn't forest Whittaker an actor?

I think with all these things people make it their own. It's a bit out there, but I'm sure if any of you had a friend called forest you'd think it was totally fine. Falcon a bit less so.

Giantwhoopsie · 01/07/2017 20:16

Forest! Love it. I have an Autumn :)

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 01/07/2017 20:14

Both lovely for a cat.

shockshockhorror · 01/07/2017 20:11

I love Forrest. I wanted it for DS. Go for it, it's a beautiful, soft, nature inspired name.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 01/07/2017 20:09

Yes, Forest.

ineedamoreadultieradult · 01/07/2017 19:43

I think Forest goes better with Blue

QuestionARhino · 01/07/2017 19:41

I can't get on with Falcon. I'd lean towards Forest personally. But like neither because I know of a dickwad called Forest and for me that always auto-vetoes a name Grin
