Woods

[Pepsea]

I appreciate this name isn't going to be for everyone and will get mixed reviews. Woody is becoming more accepted as a stand alone name now but I much prefer Woods.

Given River/s, Brook/s, Forrest etc are becoming popular. Do you think Woods can work?

Woodrow?
It's a bit American, I know but I like Woodrow and also Winslow.

Only if your happy that your child will have "Woodys got woood" or some variant of chanted at them everyday from the age of 8 upwards.

What about Elwood? Could be Woods as a nickname.

Wasn't Woods in the Gryffindor quidditch team?
But it WAS his surname. And that's because it IS a surname and not a first name

I wood choose another name personally

There should be laws for parents who name their children silly names.

Is there some kind of a mumsnet competition for awful names? So many of these threads recently.

We have a dog woody who gets called woods, woodster, woo woo!!! I don't see it as a child's name.

Morning wood(s)

Don't Google it if you dont know what it means!

It's ridiculous.

No. Don’t be insane.

As a nn for Edward, OK, because he can loose it.

I knew a Forrest at school and he suited it completely, it was never shortened. Was on my shortlist for a boy 😊

Nope.

Erm...no. Don't be daft.

Woody is ok. Woods is rubbish. Sorry OP.

Woods, as in 'does a bear shit in the woods?'?

I prefer Coppice myself.

Or Glade even. That has a certain strength.

Woods is a YouTuber on a channel DS and I watch. Its short for Woodland.

I'm torn between "what the fuck were his parents thinking?" And "that's a seriously cool name!"

@Mischance

I prefer Coppice myself.

Sounds like a bit of a Pollard to me tbh

We had a Forrest at school, known as Florist. Teenage wit.

@deadlanguage

No. It’s a surname. It sounds like he’s being told off by a 1950s teacher.

Or a prison officer

No

Isn't woody used for penis?

Poor child. At least if you insist on it, give them a proper middle name so they’ve got options.

It’s truly awful OP.
