Boys Names Beginning With W

Actor Wood Harris, best known for his role as Avon Barksdale in The Wire, brought this one into the lexicon. Wood is Harris's nickname -- his real name is Sherwin David -- but it's the name he's exclusively known by. And it fits right in with the current hot trend for woodsy names for boys.

A blazing name, connoting speed and recklessness, this might sound interesting in theory but insensitive perhaps in reality. It might be a cool name for a particularly fast moving pet, however.
