Edward on BC.

He'll be known by Woody though. Thoughts?

Yes! I like that he has option of more traditional name on BC. Woody is a clever nn for Edward!

Drop it before late primary though or you line him up for all the erection jokes his peers can think of ...

First thought is Allen (not a fan) but I'm sure after a short while it would just become the name of a sweet boy. Next thoughts are Toy Story and Woodpecker, but nicknames are good because you always have the full name in reserve if need be.

Helen - he can then pick though? I'll keep naming him Woody and known by it at school, until he picks!

Love Woody, but would probably initially associate with Woody Allen (bleurgh). Woody Harrelson, OTOH...

I think you're setting your DS up for a life time of teasing, secondary school would be awful. Just look at the urban dictionary. Just no.

oh woody is slang for erection.
Best not then perhaps.
Back to the drawing board OP...

I know a Woody. It's a nn and he is lovely! He's about 30 now and still Woody. I think it's great!

Well known slang for erection here.

I wouldn't use it.
