Woody.

I love the name woody for a boy. But a friend says it's just reminds her of toy story and not a real name like woody allen (for instance)

What is everyone's view?

Not for me.

As a complete aside, Isn't Zoe ball's son called woody?

crje · 07/11/2014 15:26

I agree with your friend
Cute nickname tho

WishUponAStar88 · 07/11/2014 15:27

I also think of toy story sorry!

MehsMum · 07/11/2014 15:29

Sounds like a toy or a dog. Or a tree.

Reminds me of erections. I don't think someone's name should put people in mind of aroused genitals.

BiancaDelRio · 07/11/2014 15:47

Woody Allen.

Ick.

I think it's ok as a nn, but it's an awful name by itself.

twinkletoes2015 · 07/11/2014 15:49

I thought of erections straight away, sorry!

Bowlersarm · 07/11/2014 15:50

Apparently woody allens real name is Heywood.

Bowlersarm · 07/11/2014 15:51

Or I should have said 'full name'

livsmum4 · 07/11/2014 15:54

Woody is a cartoon character. Toy Story and Woodpecker.

It could maybe work as a nn but for me it's not one of those names that every 40 year old man could pull off.

Hakluyt · 07/11/2014 15:58

Tried it on a teenage boy- he sniggered. Sorry.

livsmum4 · 07/11/2014 16:01

Haha thanks guys back to the drawing board.

I have awful taste in boys names other options are Louis and Noel

Louis is ace.

Noel is considerably less ace.

Bowlersarm · 07/11/2014 16:24

I love Louis.

Sophronia · 07/11/2014 16:39

Woodrow nn Woody?

I like Noel a lot.

BreeVDKamp · 07/11/2014 16:52

I know a Woodrow nn Woody. I think it's cool! Woody from toy Story is ace anyway. Woody Allen not so much ha.

Lunastarfish · 07/11/2014 17:19

I like Woody. Could go for Edward and have Woody as nn.

TCforTopCat · 07/11/2014 17:22

Pick Noel, lovely name.
