I'd love honest opinions on the boys name Woody as a nn for Edward please? He would be brother to Albert (Bertie) and Florence (Florrie). Don't know sex but currently really stuck on the boy options! Girl would be Nancy. Thanks all

Woodward could indeed shorten to Woody

Are you getting confused with Edward Woodward op?

Woody isn't short for Edward. Ted, Teddy, Ed, Eddie are short for Edward. Unless you are planning on calling him Edwood, woody doesn't make sense.

And Woody has all manner of unpleasant connotations.

Oh I should have said that our other boy option is Wilfred shortened to Fred. All thoughts / opinions most welcome!
