I know someone with the last name DeForest. I always thought it sounded like a verb though, as in deforestation...

One can't pretend Forrest doesn't sound like a word.

But "forest" is a word with positive associations, which can't really be said for 'deforest' (is that a real word?).

I wouldn't call "The place you go to get ticks" a positive association.

DeForest has DeForest Kelley. You gotta like him.

Maybe you wouldn't but I'd call "the place where one can find peace and sanctity" and "the place least touched by society" and "the place that houses wildlife" positive associations.

Just because YOU don't like the forest doesn't mean everyone is going to have the same negative associations as you. Judging by this thread I think it's safe to say that most people have positive associations with forests

Deforest is a real word!

Forest is a nice word. It means "forest." Deforest means to destroy a forest.

Yeah same. And I know a few people with it as a first name, which I think is totally hilarious.
