If you hear the name Woody, do you think of
A) woodpecker
B) toy story
C) Allen

Or none of them. I love the name. So does DH. We are Fine with Toy Story connection and confident that only the older generation will make the link to woodpecker. But would hate an association with Woody Allen. It hadn’t occurred to me until DM helpfully pointed it out (because she doesn’t like what she calls ‘out there names’ and would name a boy David or James, which are perfectly fine. But not what I like personally).

He would be William on birth certificate but don't want that as every day name because a) there are already 4 in the family and b) I just know it will get shortened by someone to Billy which I really do not like. Thank you

Woody Allen. Great films, awful man.

I think ‘hard on’ and then toy story.

I thaught erection and Allen at the same time, I can't avoid the horrible image that came with it. This is really a terrible connexion.

Woody = erection
Willy = penis

I really dislike both, sorry.
