A first name to go with Forest?

My baby’s gender is currently unknown (we’ll know in the next two weeks), but my hubby and best friends all think that it will be a boy. I’ll be happy if it is a boy but I’m having trouble finding a boy’s name I can use that I love. I’d really like to call him [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] with the nickname [name_u]Lex[/name_u], but the name is taken by one of the baby’s cousins. If the baby turns out to be a girl I’m loving the name [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] [name_m]Forest[/name_m] __________. I’m absolutely in love with using [name_m]Forest[/name_m] as a middle for either gender as it has significant meaning, the only problem is that I don’t find it flows with any of the names on my boys list:

[name_m]Jeremy[/name_m]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m]
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_u]Elias[/name_u]
[name_m]Warren[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]
[name_m]Damien[/name_m]

Can someone help me find a name to love if I’m having a boy. It would ideally be three syllables, contain and L somewhere in it and sound good with [name_m]Forest[/name_m] as a middle. But doesn’t have to meet all of the criteria Thanks!

[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] has a definite ring to it!

[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m] is dashing. I really like [name_m]Damien[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m] as well.

[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]

[name_u]Ellington[/name_u] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]
[name_m]Eldredge[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]
[name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]

My maiden name is [name_m]Forest[/name_m]. My brother is [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]. My niece is [name_u]Riley[/name_u] [name_m]Forest[/name_m] __________ . :slight_smile:

[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m], [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m], and [name_m]Damien[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m] all work for me.

Three syllables with an L and go well with [name_m]Forest[/name_m]:
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m] / [name_m]Malachy[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m] - [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] with the hard “eye” ending, [name_m]Malachy[/name_m] with an “ee” sound ending.
Ezriel [name_m]Forest[/name_m]
[name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]
Elchanan [name_m]Forest[/name_m] or Elkanan [name_m]Forest[/name_m].
Elkanah [name_m]Forest[/name_m]
[name_m]Naphtali[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m] - I like all the three-syllable -ee ending boys like [name_m]Malachy[/name_m], [name_m]Gregory[/name_m], [name_m]Zachary[/name_m], [name_m]Dmitri[/name_m], and, yes, [name_m]Naphtali[/name_m].

[name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]
[name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]
[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]
[name_m]Adriel[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]
[name_u]Connelly[/name_u] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]
[name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]

Thanks for all of your help! I do like [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] and [name_m]Damien[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m] but I am concerned as [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] is my cousins name, and my good friend has a son named [name_m]Damien[/name_m]. It’s too bad about [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m] being associated with war and the KKK. All of my favorites seem to have some issue with them.

I love the suggestion of [name_m]Evander[/name_m], but my daughter’s name is [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and it seems to matchy

On second thought I do like the suggestion [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m], but I’m not fond of [name_m]Will[/name_m] as a nickname, and our other two children are called by nicknames. What do you think of using [name_m]Liam[/name_m] as a nickname for [name_m]William[/name_m]?

[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Forest[/name_m] sounds handsome to me, I think this one is best.
