Boys name Woody short for Edward

[JenSFP]

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

Woody means erection around here (South East England)

I went to primary school with an Edward known as Woody. Pretty sure he's just Ed now, but I didn't think twice about it as an under 11 😂

You know a woody is an erection ? And it isn't short for Edward at all.

Thanks everyone - I think we've well and truly parked woody for now! So helpful to have all your input. Far too many of you associate it with erections and I just couldn't do that to my son!!!! backto the drawing board xx

Nooo you can’t call your baby erection

Edward has lots of lovely nicknames - what about Ned or Noddy?

Do you like Edwin? Winnie is still a very unusual choice but not an erection?

Woody is short for Edward. I know of two completely unrelated Woody's, one in his 60s and one 4 and the are both Edward's. Also with the erection thing. Throughout my teenage years and 8 years of teaching teenagers I haven't come across a Woody being an erection and have just asked my friends who haven't either. Maybe it is an area thing or an outdated term.

I would however think of Tesco's if you had a Florence and Fred!
