    Need honest opinions

    on the name Forrest.
    DF has his heart & mind set on calling his son Forrest.

    Do you love it? Hate it? Did you think of Forest Gump when you heard the name?

    Thanks in advance ladies

    I do think of Forrest gump, but I love that name and I love that movie!

    Yeah the child may get associated with the movie but it's already pretty old so by the time the child is bigger, the younger generation might not think of it.

    My mum used to say that to us all the time! Sorry, i don't like it very much.....but there was a good point made about the younger gen not knowing about Forest Gump It is a pretty old movie, i doubt kids from that generation will watch it.

    Yep another who thought immediately of Forrest Gump and the drawn out "life is like a box of chocolates ........"

    *shudder* great movie but I really don't like the name as there would always be the reference to the film character.

    I agree i think of Forrest Gump as well but DF thinks of Forrest Griffin the UFC fighter.
    Which is why he loves the name Forrest as he sees it a strong name.
