Oh gracious, please don’t name your child Deforest. Think of the humillitation? And jokes and just, nothing like that would be a good name. Please don’t name your child that.

being from Chicago I think "Da Bears!" or going for a hike in da forest...don’t like it at all! Stick with good ol’ Forrest

Forrest is very handsome. I think of someone tall, with strong, wide shoulders, a deep tan and golden blonde hair.

Deforest and DeForest don’t make me think of a person at all. They make me think of trees crashing to the ground, bright yellow heavy machinery and protest signs.

Deforest = land clearing.
Forrest = a tall, handsome, very sexy man. =)

If you must go this route, definitely go with DeForrest over Deforest... But I’m with the rest when I say, just go with Forrest. Now I DO know a person named DeForrest who just got an MA from an Ivy League university- he is extremely preppy, polo shirts and all, which really clashed with his ghetto name, making it even worse.

Look at the literal meaning of what the name is based off of: deforestation. I would vote a strong NO on both of those just because of that. Forest or Forrest are both lovely names

NO, NO, NO!! My 2nd son is named Forrest, and at age 15 he loves his name. He is tall, dark brown eyes, brown hair, fantastic smile, smart, kind. That’s what I envision with the name Forrest. With the name DeForest, well, I imagine someone who is hanging out behind the school, smoking cigarettes and thinking of ways to bully the first person out of the building.
