I used to like the name Forrest before the whole "Forrest Gump" association became such a big deal. Forest is over-the-top, imo, unless it's a family name and with that spelling. But I could never use Forrest now, because of Forrest Gump. I find it funny that some people want to use the name because of the movie--when the character clearly states that Nathan B. Forrest is the founder of the KKK. No one should be named Forrest in honor of a character named after the founder of the KKK!
