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 like it...I did not think of Forrest gump till you mentioned it! I think it flows well with the girls names too! Fingers crossed its a boy :) x

I love the name Forrest, boy or girl, I do think of Forrest Gump, but in a nice way, I think he was kinda special x

Hate it, sorry. Yep thought of Forrest Gump.

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.

Sorry I'm with PZ.. Thought of Forrest Gump straight away.. I do not like it. You did ask for honest :hide:

I couldn't do it! I like it, but no.

Don't be sorry i want honest opinions :D

Thanks Ladies :)

Really like it but keep thinking " my name is Forrest, Forrest Gump" so I wouldn't.

All I can think of is 'run Forrest, run!'

Sorry but put me down as a hater.

Life is like a box of chocolates!! My name is Forrest Forrest Gump.

Sorry that's all that came to mind, don't like it as a name sorry as all I think of is the movie (which is an awesome classic tear jerker LOVE IT movie)

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.

Of course it's up to you guys but how many people would get the reference to forrest griffin?

Mind you I'm not a Ufc fan.

Ps. Am I the only one who hated the movie Forrest Gump?

No I hated it too :p

Well, that's two of us.....

I know that what i tried telling him.
Thanks again ladies :D

I didn't immediately think of Forrest Gump, but it did quickly proceed thinking of some tv soapie character. I don't know what soapie, but that's what I thought of first. And then Forrest Gump, but maybe only because it was on TV last night.

How about as a second name?

Oh, I do like it, but don't think I would use it myself.
