If you met a dog called woody....

[Inbedbynine]

... would you ‘think’ Anything? Kids want to name new puppy woody but I don’t know if I’m being silly about penis connotations?

I would think of Toy Story. Get puppy a bandana and you'll be fine

Ask Woody Harrelson if he’s had any problems! Also Woody from Toy Story...

My friend has a cat called Woody, never thought anything of it.

Woodpecker. Showing my age!

Why not explain to the kids why it is which a bad name? (I'm joking of course but it'd be an interesting discussion - excruciatingly embarrassing maybe?)

I'd probably ask if you've got another dog or a cat called Buzz.
Another one for the Toy Story connection.

I know a baby that has just been called woody and I was a bit but for a dog I think it’s a great name!

I think it's a great name, I wish it was more in use.

I’d wonder where Buzz was

I’d think of Woody Guthrie #oldhippy

My immediate thought was Toy Story, didn't think of any other connotation until you mentioned it.

Great name for a puppy.

My friend has a beagle called woody :-)

I know loads of animals called woody (Horse, 2 dogs, a rabbit and a cat) And at least 3 children and some adults too. I live in the UK. To my knowledge no one under the age of 60 has ever made a penis joke or connotation.

Bloody hell Op
Where your head at?
That wouldn't occur to me!

I have a cat called Woody - love the name!

And penis connotations? Seriously?Q

That's where your mind goes?

I would no way connect Woody and penis , how strange .

I’d think Toy Story if you had kids young enough to have named him/her. Though to be fair, the first one came out in the nineties so your kids could be pretty much any age!

I knew a dog called Woody and when the family got a new puppy they called it Buzz! Nothing other than Toy Story entered my head.

Woody's a normal name to me. No penis connotations.

I think it can be quite area specific - I have lived in areas of the U.K. and US where an erection is very commonly referred to as "having a woody" and other places where it's just not used as slang at all. So all the posters basically accusing OP of being some kind of sex crazed pervert presumably live in non wooded areas.
My first thought was the Toy Story connection which is a nice one I think, esp for kids.

I’m aware that it is a slang term for an erection but the association wouldn’t be the first that popped into my head with the name.

And I’ve got quite a dirty mind.

Woody is fine, most people would think of toy story before erection! You might get a few jokes but nothing too bad I'd imagine.

I wanted to name a rabbit Bimbo once, it was the second suggestion after Nibbles which mum thought was a bit boring, she backtracked to how Nibbles was a lovely name pretty sharpish in my defence I was about 9 and reading an old (I think Enid Blyton) book about a puppy and a kitten called Bimbo and Topsy.
