Looking for a boys name beginning with W and at the moment Woody is top of our list.
Do you like the name Woody for a boy?

I know two but it makes me do an inner snicker.

Woody Johnson (Robert Wood Johnson IV) was United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom from 2017 to 2021. So I suppose it's not absolutely ridiculous, although he did get a fair amount of, er, ribbing for it.😀

No. No.

My middle boy is Woody and it’s a fabulous name. He loves it and he totally suits it. Never been teased (why would he).

Purplecatshopaholic · 24/09/2022 22:50

Love it. I know one and it’s a lovely name.

Woody Harrelson is cool. It's a much nicer name than some and I always feel that children make their names their own.

Because it means an erect penis?

I'd go with Edward and woody as a nickname if you want it.

Oh hell no

It’s not his name though, his actual name is Woodrow.

I think it's fine for a woodpecker but not for a human.

Savingpeoplehuntingthings · 24/09/2022 22:56

There's a snake in my boot.

BadgeronaMoped · 24/09/2022 22:56

Also! We had a "Woody" at high school in the late 90s, not a cool kid, but he was never teased for his nickname (surname: Wood). We all called erections vatiations on boner or stiffy... stonk on, and so on Smile

leavesonthegroundsoon · 24/09/2022 22:57

I like Woody. Also Walter.

BadgeronaMoped · 24/09/2022 22:58

Yeah, I do not like Woodrow!

ImNotGreta · 24/09/2022 23:00

No, it’s slang for an erection.

Bobbybobbins · 24/09/2022 23:00

I like it as a nickname but wouldn't go for it as official name - maybe Edward

SomethingNastyInTheBallPool · 24/09/2022 23:02

God, no.

Cheeselog · 24/09/2022 23:03

Terrible, sorry. Would you like to be called Woody?
