Edward on BC.

He'll be known by Woody though. Thoughts?

What's wrong with being a bin man?

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 04/11/2016 21:35

Noooooo,poor boy! It's like calling a boy ErrectionShock

No. No, no, no, no.

Unless you want him to be a bin-man or a small-time thug.

I watch Toy Story A LOT thanks to 2yr old DS.
Woody is the cowboy and will always be the cowboy.

I know an older child called Woody. It's a great name.

Really cute and great that he has Edward for when he gets older

Soubriquet · 04/11/2016 20:21

Erection followed by toy story

Hate it

Pluto30 · 04/11/2016 20:19

Well known slang for erection here.

I wouldn't use it.

twattymctwatterson · 04/11/2016 20:19

Too Toy Story. Sorry OP!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 04/11/2016 20:17

Love it! Also like Arlo (Woody Guthrie link)

hawaii6oh · 04/11/2016 20:13

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!

BratFarrarsPony · 04/11/2016 20:13

oh woody is slang for erection.
Best not then perhaps.

Back to the drawing board OP...

MissClarke86 · 04/11/2016 20:12

I just think of Woody from toy story.

celtiethree · 04/11/2016 20:11

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.

BobbieDog · 04/11/2016 20:09

It strikes me as abit try too hard to be different.

BratFarrarsPony · 04/11/2016 20:09

Yes it sounds nice.

IllMetByMoonlight · 04/11/2016 20:07

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

timeforabrewnow · 04/11/2016 20:07

love it -

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

Honestly? No.

Facetoot · 04/11/2016 20:02

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.
