Will everyone just think of the clothing brand? Does that make it unusable?
I like 'Bo' and 'Bodhi' as nn.

Just have either Beau or Dennis.

Or Beau Dennis.

TatianaBis · 29/09/2021 11:38

Hell no.

thetrinityisshite · 29/09/2021 08:50

Oh no no no!

I'm sorry but this is so bad it made me laugh whilst trying to drink my coffee!

Elisemum · 28/09/2021 07:33

Gosh no, just no

Unsure1983 · 27/09/2021 23:30

All three awful.

Skinnytailedsquirrel · 27/09/2021 23:28

hilarious

Are you trying to get a special discount op?

BananaPB · 27/09/2021 23:26

Bodhi, Brodie, Beau are much better. I wouldn't go for Bo because of the abbreviation of body odour

Gorl · 27/09/2021 23:25

Yes, everyone will assume you’re the world’s biggest fan of unthreatening floral sweaters.

LaLaLouella · 27/09/2021 23:21

Nooooooooo

Mybalconyiscracking · 27/09/2021 23:15

FFS.. just NO!

OuiOuiBonjour · 27/09/2021 22:56

I mean...

Would you go with

Ikea
Primark
Fruggi

?

Sorry but it would be really cruel.

I like Bodhi though.

Jasmine11 · 27/09/2021 22:53

I really liked the name Bodhi until I met one and his sister was gleefully calling him bogey! As for Boden, it's a nice enough sounding word, but I'm not a fan of surnames as first names.

Nopetryagain · 27/09/2021 22:51

I can only think of the clothing line OP

DramaAlpaca · 27/09/2021 22:32

No, it's not good.

Someone on here recently described Bodhi as 'a man bun of a name' Grin Grin Grin

Poetrypatty · 27/09/2021 22:29

Good if your surname is catalogue

ppan4454 · 27/09/2021 22:28

No I think of the clothing brand, sorry

BakeOffRewatch · 27/09/2021 22:28

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogdan

BakeOffRewatch · 27/09/2021 22:27

Bohden is a common Romanian name. I know one baby, and a few I met at work and uni,, no one makes comments or anything. Depends where you live I guess and how multicultural it is or Boden-dressed it is. Would avoid it in the Cotswolds and SW London. In a lot of parts people have never heard of the brand Boden! MN is probably the wrong place to ask as Boden and MN audience overlap.

I think it’s a lovely name by the way.

StrongSunglasses · 27/09/2021 22:22

Bodhi to me would be a no because it’s unusual enough to not automatically know how to pronounce, and written down could be potentially read like “Body”

grapewine · 27/09/2021 22:21

You're not serious. Just go with Bohdi.

gemloving · 27/09/2021 22:20

It means floor in German, so a no from me.

ODFOx · 27/09/2021 22:19

Bo, Beau, Bodie could work. Boden, alas, not. For either sex.

MaverickDanger · 27/09/2021 22:19

There’s a rugby player called Beauden. I probably wouldn’t associate that spelling with the clothing brand.
