Well, they liked the names Heather and Heidi, and when I was a girl instead of boy (how dare I!!), they decided to keep it up. They liked the name Forrest, and then by the time the other boys started coming (Forrest was 12 when the next boy was born), they decided just to stick with the 'f'.

So it really isn't because your Mom is in love with the letter F or your Dad thinks H's are the most beautiful letter ever? Those internet rumours are always misleading.

Yeah can you imagine poor Hailie? She would have to go to a therapist for not feeling part of the family if her name was Emily or something. "My parent's didn't love me. They never wanted me... they named me Emily."

That's true of course. With a family our size everyone looks like someone. ;)
