Etymologically Forest is derived from the Latin word for 'out

That was Joseph Littleshoes; I don't think a David has contributed to
this thread until now.


I would be careful with this and I would not go with the name
Forrest, especially as it was used in the movie Forrest Gump. In the
movie they mention that the character was named after Forrest Bedford
(who was/is seen as very controversial). I think that they did this
as somewhat dark humour. Take a look at the following website:

Using etmology with names is a risky business as meanings change as
people imbue words with new meanings.

Does anyone think much of the meaning when choosing names these days?
Most folks don't even bother about the usual spelling.
