I love [name_m]Arvo[/name_m], [name_m]Dino[/name_m], and [name_m]Earnest[/name_m]. I prefer [name_u]Seneca[/name_u] for a girl unless it’s strictly a male name in their culture. [name_f]Georgene[/name_f] is my favourite of the girls, but I prefer it spelled [name_f]Georgine[/name_f]. Forrestina is quite unique and has Fory, Esty, and [name_f]Tina[/name_f] as nickname options. [name_f]Charisse[/name_f] is pretty. I’m not the biggest fan of the rest.

These are fun! I like the male names more, for some reason: [name_m]Ely[/name_m], [name_m]Arvo[/name_m], [name_m]Nels[/name_m], [name_u]Carlyle[/name_u], Greenwood, [name_m]Holmes[/name_m], [name_u]Seneca[/name_u], [name_m]Dino[/name_m] and [name_m]Earnest[/name_m] are all great!

[name_m]Just[/name_m] did a quick Google search for the name Forrestina - there was a famous teacher, mountaineer, journalist and writer named Forrestina [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_m]Ross[/name_m]. Quite a fitting name for her! The Native American politician named Forrestina’s full name is Forrestina Calf [name_m]Boss[/name_m] Ribs! & Is apparently more well-known by ‘Frosty [name_m]Boss[/name_m] Ribs’. I think Forrestina with the nickname Frosty is so cute! Not so sure about the Calf [name_m]Boss[/name_m] Ribs bit… haha!
