From a personalised hat gallery on a FB selling page...

Is the child’s name even Boden? That just looks like a logo to me.

Must make labelled clothes for nursery significantly faster if you name them after a shop. “Emaness! Time for tea! And bring John-Lewis and Zara with you!”

Don't see the problem with Boden at all.
What have I missed OP?
Know a person who named her children
Britney, Shakira and Beyonce. Thought it couldn't possibly could get any way worse until she had a son and named him Tupac!!!

I like the name Hayden. My DS best friend is Hayden. This little Hayden is from a well off and not at all chavvy family.

Boden isn't so bad. I have heard much much worse.

I much prefer Boden to hideous 'bell tone' names like Jayden, Hayden etc
Or Jaime-Lee, Kai...
My list could on!

@MindyStClaire I really don't know, it's quite sad that everyone's first reaction to an unusual name is "chavtastic"

LittleDoveLove · 19/11/2019 21:27

I know someone with a Boden, I quite like it, it's by no stretch the worst I've heard!

meandmyboyz · 18/11/2019 14:54

I know a little Boden I've never thought there was anything strange about it to be honest.

Lavenderblues · 18/11/2019 13:20

Boden is floor in German!

Would be very weird as a name there!

MindyStClaire · 18/11/2019 12:38

Why is the first response to an unusual name on MN always "Chav! Chav!" rather than "I wonder what culture that's from?".

Whattodoabout · 18/11/2019 11:48

When you have met a little girl called Prada, Boden is nothing.

Cbeebiesrehab · 18/11/2019 11:23

There is a Beauden in our playgroup. I actually quite like itBlush

MerryDeath · 18/11/2019 09:42

we know a Boden. not a fan, personally.

Jj2431 · 18/11/2019 09:41

Boden is not that bad compared to poster on here who has just told us she called her kid Plum lol

courtlee · 18/11/2019 09:31

I have met a Boden too and actually didn't think it was strange 🤷‍♀️ was expecting something ridiculous

user1493494961 · 18/11/2019 08:37

I know a little girl called Pink, usually called Pinkie, and nearly always dressed in pink.

Junobug · 18/11/2019 07:55

Oh, I know an Ocean with a little brother called Reef.

Greggers2017 · 18/11/2019 07:50

My colleagues son is called Boden. It really suits him. I ran a day nursery for years. Trust me, it's not one of the worst at all.

daisypond · 18/11/2019 07:50

Boden is fine.

cptartapp · 18/11/2019 07:49

I know a Rusty. Not a nn.

Sagradafamiliar · 18/11/2019 07:47

Mexx is the only name that's had me Confused...can't imagine picking it. But I'm not Brooke Vincent.

Elderflower14 · 18/11/2019 07:45

Brooke Vincent from Corrie has named her son Mexx... 🤔 🤔 🤔
That child is either going to spend his whole life saying "No not Max... Mexx... No two xs!!" Or get called Tex Mex...

GaaaaarlicBread · 18/11/2019 07:44

At least he’s not called plum like a poor kid on another thread here 😀😅

BillywilliamV · 18/11/2019 07:37

My twinz are called Shitz and Gigglez, putting “z” in any name is COOL!!
