What would you give [name\_m]Forrest[/name\_m] as a nickname? I’m thinking of [name\_m]Ozzy[/name\_m] ---

[name\_m]Frost[/name\_m], Fez, [name\_m]Rex[/name\_m], Rhett/Rett, [name\_m]Frey[/name\_m], [name\_m]Rory[/name\_m]? ---

I really like [name\_m]Rex[/name\_m] as an nn for [name\_m]Forrest[/name\_m] ---

Ooh, I love all of Grace’s suggestions, and I have such a soft spot for anything nicknamed [name\_m]Ozzy[/name\_m] (RIP [name\_m]Ozzy[/name\_m] [name\_m]Osbourne[/name\_m]) but otherwise, I think [name\_m]Woody[/name\_m], [name\_f]Woods[/name\_f], or the name of literally any tree could work. I would also be tempted to call a child named [name\_m]Forrest[/name\_m] by the nicknames Rainforrest and Forrestfire, but maybe that’s just me. ---

[name\_f]Woods[/name\_f] and [name\_m]Woody[/name\_m] are cute ---

I think Rusty could work. ---

I like [name\_m]Ozzy[/name\_m]! I think [name\_m]Forrest[/name\_m] doesn’t have any super obvious nicknames to me but there’s lots of potential stretchy ones and if you play on the word [name\_m]Forest[/name\_m] you can get some fun nicknames too [name\_m]Fox[/name\_m] [name\_m]Rhett[/name\_m] [name\_m]Rhys[/name\_m] [name\_m]Rex[/name\_m] [name\_m]Leaf[/name\_m] / [name\_m]Leif[/name\_m] [name\_m]Ori[/name\_m] [name\_m]Woody[/name\_m] [name\_m]Frost[/name\_m] ---

[name\_m]Fox[/name\_m], [name\_m]Rex[/name\_m], [name\_m]Woody[/name\_m], and [name\_m]Frost[/name\_m] are cool ---

[name\_m]Just[/name\_m] had another thought. Maybe as a stretchy nickname [name\_m]Forrest[/name\_m] nn [name\_m]Reed[/name\_m]? [name\_m]Not[/name\_m] sure if that really works, but I kind of like it. ---

I understand that. [name\_m]Reed[/name\_m] is also a family name for me, so I sort of have more of an excuse to use [name\_m]Reed[/name\_m] as a stretchy nickname for other names. ---

[name\_m]Ozzy[/name\_m] is a bit of a stretch, but I can see it! [name\_m]Rory[/name\_m] was my first thought though, and I’m not sure that’s any more obvious 🤣 I love others’ ideas of [name\_m]Rex[/name\_m], [name\_f]Woods[/name\_f], [name\_m]Frost[/name\_m], and [name\_m]Frey[/name\_m]! I think just [name\_m]Ori[/name\_m] could work too. Or Fozzy/Fizzy too. ---

[name\_m]Fort[/name\_m] comes to mind 😌 I love that one! ---

I think there are so many unconventional options you could make work for [name\_m]Forrest[/name\_m]! Some not said yet: Forry [name\_m]Foss[/name\_m] [name\_m]Ross[/name\_m] Roffie Restie [name\_f]Twiggy[/name\_f] ---

I like the suggestion of [name\_f]Woods[/name\_f]! This may be off-the-wall, but I would maybe call them [name\_m]Four[/name\_m], and would probably write it just as “4”. It would be kind of unexpected to have a number represent your name.
