I actually liked the name a year or two before the movie came out, but I still think it's hard not to associate
Forrest with
Forrest Gump even now. Also, since the character was named after
Nathan B.
Forrest, the founder of the KKK, that's not a good association, either. So I personally don't think it's a good idea. :-/
