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?

Better than someone on insta last year who named their kid Buster… last name Knutt

Edward, nickname Woody.

Woody isn't a good name on it's own.

I have to wonder what your Christian names are. Wow. So rude some of you. Be kind hey.

toddlingtortoise · 24/09/2022 23:11

It a fairly ridiculous name.

I know- what sort of monster comments that they don't like the name Woody on a thread asking whether people like the name Woody?

She specifically asked if people liked it. Would you prefer people to lie?

laalaaleelee · 24/09/2022 23:21

Noooo

Ihaveawonderfulpartner · 24/09/2022 23:22

Yes 😂. All say that you love the name. Easy 😊

Be kind how, by lying when asked a direct question about whether we like the name sois-y?

How the heck has there only been one toy story reference so far. He would forever be compared to a little cloth cowboy. Please don't.

LaLaLouella · 24/09/2022 23:25

Nope - it's either a talking toy cowboy or a hard on!

sofap · 24/09/2022 23:25

Absolutely not

Moon22 · 24/09/2022 23:27

Gives me toy story/ woodpecker vibes tbh.
Woody Allen pulled it off though!
It's not offensive.. but will baby woody appreciate it when he gets to school? I'm not sold on it I don't think.

Janie94 · 24/09/2022 23:29

Just imagine when he's in a doctors surgery and they shout "Woody" how would he feel given that everyone in the room is thinking "is that guy actually called that?" - Just that.

MarpleFan · 24/09/2022 23:31

As in “Allen”? Definitely not for me personally, more for the connotations than anything else.

quietnightmare · 24/09/2022 23:32

Why name your kid after a man's thingy. High school is going to be so HARD for him. Pun intended

This also crossed my mind. His name is t Woody either though, it’s Heywood.

We’re trying to be kind to the poor child by preventing them being lumbered with a dreadful name.

No. It's an erection in this house.

Summertimesunshineandfizz · 24/09/2022 23:38

I know 3 dogs called Woody and think it really suits them - 2 are feisty little terriers and the other is a boxer. All lovely dogs.

This.

@Ihaveawonderfulpartner - why do you assume all posters are Christian ? Confused

Plus, the OP asked people if they like the name. Directly. Specifically to find out what people would really think, when they hear the name. The exact reason for this area of MN - to get true opinions from people you don't know.

SpicePearl · 24/09/2022 23:42

I like it!

@GetRichOrDieTrying I love you. Haven't seen that for absolutely ages 🍆
