Sometimes this can be a good thing…if it’s someone you’re naming the child after or someone you admire and the association doesn’t bother you at all, but how about this one…
I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] for a boy. Now, assuming DH would ever get on board, is it too close to actor [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Whitaker[/name_m] with our last name; Whitt.ard? [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] Whitt.ard…I think it may be too close. Also, is it too naturey next to sister [name_f]Iris[/name_f]? I also have two other children without nature-themed names. [name_f]TIA[/name_f]!
I think of [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] Gump every time I hear [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] honestly. But with the surname you mentioned, I would likely think [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Whitaker[/name_m].
