  4. We didn’t find out the sex ahead of time, so we picked names for both sexes. When we were deciding on a boy’s name, my husband said he liked the idea of a name that related to nature – especially if it the name meaning tied back to trees, woods, or the forrest. We did a reverse meaning name search, and as I read through the possibilities, he absolutely lit up when he heard the name Elwood. We had found our baby boy’s name.

  5. My boyfriend chose the name Elwood, and I paired it with the middle name Cuan
    (coo-ahn) which is Irish for little wolf. So combined with the original old English meaning of Elwood, his name means little Wolf from the auld (old) wood (forest). The only downside is my mom and grandpa want to call him “Woody” and I was like…no.
