Changing my name to something more unique!

Hi everyone! I’ve just turned 18 last month which means I’m able to start the process of changing my name. I have many ideas for my new name, and I’d like to get a second opinion on some of my combos! I’ve been going by Will for the past year, because I’ve been holding onto part of my birth name (Willow).

For a little backstory, I am a trans/nonbinary individual and I am a realism sculptor. Art is my whole life, and I want to choose a name that sounds nice when displayed on images of my artwork.
I’m pretty sure my first name will be Forrest, but I’m open to suggestions of similar names. My sister is named Cedar…so that may be too much haha. “Cedar and Forrest”. Although, that theme already existed when I was called Willow most of my life.
I LOVE the name Hemlock, but it has a bad reputation, what do you all think? Is it useable for a middle name?

Forrest Hemlock
Forrest Eleshire
Forrest Squire
Forrest Lockett
Forrest Lockwell
Forrest Everlight

Other ideas:

Loic
Lotus
Elöic Forrest?
Squire Copeland

Here are some photos of me, any names come to mind from my images? :herb:

Since your birth name was already the name of a type of tree, I don’t think [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] would be too much with [name_u]Cedar[/name_u] if it’s something you really like! I would stay away from Hemlock as a middle–the poisonous plant vibes are a little off-putting. I like your choices of Eleshire, Lockwell, and Everlight.

Other suggestions:

[name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m]
[name_m]Elwood[/name_m]
[name_m]Havelock[/name_m]
[name_m]Lockwood[/name_m] (love!)
[name_u]Larkspur[/name_u]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! Would you like me to move this to another category, such as the #baby-names category so that you can get more responses? It’s not a problem, and it’s completely fine otherwise!
