Alden or Forrest

Abram is biblical I think.
Forrest -- Forrest Gump

I chose Alden in the poll because it was interesting and different.

I like Alden the best. It is very handsome and ages well. I don’t care for Abram, I think most people would mistake it for Abraham. Forrest- either Forrest Gump or the literal forrest.

I like Abe but not really Abram. Forrest is ok but I would never use it because the only thing I think of is Forrest Gump. Alden is also ok but very old fashioned sounding and out dated. Don’t love any of them.

Abram is great, Alden is interesting, and Forrest...is Forrest Gump. Still. Great movie, but the character is retarded, so it leaves a kid open for teasing.

I like Alden because its more original and sounds dignified. Abram is bibical in its own way and speaking as a middle school teacher who has taught students named Forrest, I can promise you they will be teased about the Forrest Gump connection. Kids are going to be mean and tease anyway, no sense making it easy for them.
