What if it was short for something....like Winifred?
Who would smoke that much hash to name their kid that?
But it did take place in the 60's, didn't it?
*pouts lip* my name is weird...
How so? What is your name?
oh it's Forreste
Well, I think it's cool, not weird. :) If it helps you feel better, mine is Keirsten, and no one ever pronounces or spells it right.
I had a friend in school named Keirsten and I always thought I'd name my daughter that.
Cool! Was it spelled the same way too? I've never met anyone who spells it the same way as I do....usually it "Kirsten." I can thank my parents for that. They added a letter to my brother's name too. Normally you'd spell his name "Aaron".....but my parents made it "Aarron." Very odd, they are.
Yeah..I think she spelt it Kirsten.
dont be such a wanksta. haha 50 Cent. I still can't get over how dumb rappers names are. Its like hey buddy my name is D-Lish-Us.
At least that doesn't sound like it could be a guy's name. Winifred, on the other hand...
are you kidding me?? everyone always thinks it is a guy's name.
Really? I don't see how you could pronounce that in a way that would make it sound like a guy's name.
Wait....which name are we debating here? Winifred? Forreste? Or Keirsten? I'm confused.
no everyone just associates it with Forrest Gump, Forrest Whittaker, Forrest Sawyer etc... all men
Hmm... I didn't think of that. I still think it sounds bad as a guy's name, though.
be glad it's not Jungle
haha there was a kid in high school who called me Jungle Fever
Winifred sounds like Fred. Thats why most would assume its a guys name. Also sounds like names like Wilbur, Wilfredo, Willard etc...
