What do you think of Forrest for a boy?
Aside from Gump, which few kids are going to know about, surely it is lovely (if a bit hippyfied).
No nn, it goes will with dd's names, but not ds (they have very OT names).

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

i think it is awful

not a fan I am afraid. I think of Forest Gump. Although there is the actor Forest Whitaker.

I think there are much lovlier boys names about tbh...

Kids won't know about Forrest Gump at primary school but it was a pretty big movie, they will have heard of it by secondary school. Don't do it.

We heard someone shouting 'Forrest' for his son in a pub garden once and it brought a grimace to the whole table.

Kids won't know about it but tactless adults will come out with it

If it goes well with your other DC's names then why not? I know a 16-year-old Forrest who is into alternative music etc and it kind of suits him.

Yikes.

Stick with the OT.

It would be nice, if it wern't for Forrest Gump. How about something along the ame lines such as : River, Robin, Clay, August?

I don't mind it personally but if I was going for a nature name for a DS I'd pick River.
