IneedKirstieandPhil · 04/05/2019 13:03

Try hard and dated sorry

Llareggub · 04/05/2019 13:01

Yep, point break.

I think its awful .

TrendyNorthLondonTeen · 04/05/2019 12:58

It seems popular for some reason but i hate it.

Letthemysterybe · 04/05/2019 12:57

I think it’s a lovely name but only really works if you are super cool surfer dude.

BuzzPeakWankBobbly · 04/05/2019 12:57

try hard surfer chic

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 04/05/2019 12:53

Bodhi the bogie.kids are cruel

Juanaiguana · 04/05/2019 12:52

Horrid

Seraphimofthewilderness · 04/05/2019 12:52

Is it from a specific culture?

pallasathena · 04/05/2019 12:51

He'll likely change it by deed poll once he's 18.
Awful name.

missmouse101 · 04/05/2019 12:51

It looks like it would be pronounced 'body'. How horrible if so. If it's pronounced ' bow-dee' then slightly better but it's not great imo.

PaperHead · 04/05/2019 12:51

Unless you’re a Patrick Swayze tribute act, no.

hewontstopshitting · 04/05/2019 12:50

I love it

BigusBumus · 04/05/2019 12:49

Is it welsh? Bow-dee?

Its not the nicest sounding name.

bridgetreilly · 04/05/2019 12:48

Bodhi Zen clinic. That is literally the only context I have for the name and it's not one I would choose for a boy.

It's also going to date very badly, I suspect.

riotlady · 04/05/2019 12:48

Reminds me of Point Break

CallMeRachel · 04/05/2019 12:47

It looks made up and too try-hard.

I prefer Brody

GCAcademic · 04/05/2019 12:47

Are you Buddhists?

Sexnotgender · 04/05/2019 12:44

Really not a fan.

Shadowboy · 04/05/2019 12:44

How is it pronounced? Is it bod-hee or bow-Dee

HeronLanyon · 04/05/2019 12:44

Disclosing my ignorance no doubt but I’ve never heard it before don’t know anyone called it.
I would assume Brodie had been intended or that it was a really interesting Celtic name I just hadn’t come across.
I like the sound of it.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 04/05/2019 12:42

I'm not sure how to pronounce it so I imagine lots of other people might struggle.

Is it said Bo-vee?

mimibunz · 04/05/2019 12:40

Depends on what you’re going for. For me it has L.A. In the 90s connotations as there was a new age bookstore called The Bodhi Tree.

DramaAlpaca · 04/05/2019 12:38

I don't like it at all. Sorry.

EmmaC78 · 04/05/2019 12:37

I like the sound but not the spelling. The spelling doesn't look right.
