Middle names for boden?

Thoughts on the name Boden (nick names Bode or Bodie)

And middle names (we like more classical middle names) or ideally a fire and earth name

2 middle names needed!

Boden Mat Alan.

Channellingsophistication · 15/02/2025 20:01

Boden is just not a suitable christian name …

sassyduck · 15/02/2025 20:00

Boden popup sale

Mirabai · 15/02/2025 19:59

This is just a joke.

Do you hate your child so much that you want to punish it with a fucking awful name like Boden? If you like the name then call yourself Boden and see how people react towards you. Poor kid.

Hi! Yes I'm aware of the shop name. Thanks for your input :) I find that quite rude.

You did ask, and I have to admit that was my first thought. It's better surely to tell you than for the child to have a lifetime of it?

Please don't name your child Boden.

Or Bodhi. Thats even worse.

So is Parker, Harper etc. I’m not a fan of surnames as first names. Reminds me of a Billy Connolly stand-up where he covered that subject.

Surnames that are occupations are particularly weird - Carter, Archer, Fletcher, Hawker, Sawyer etc. Why not call your baby Doctor, Ironmonger, Cordwainer or Stevedore? 😃

Anyone else getting Boden adverts in the feed on this thread 🙈

TwoFatDucklings · 15/02/2025 19:51

Hmm I'd suggest you need to balance it out

Boden Bee Andem
Boden Aldi Pricematch
Boden Donny Market
Boden Netto Nomore
Boden Greg's Sausageroll

Boden Bee Andem is my favourite

Yes, I like that a lot.
How about Boden Cotton Trader?

HotTurtleSoup · 15/02/2025 19:53

Boden Frenchpress?

Hesdefinitelygettingthesnip · 15/02/2025 19:52

Please don't do this! Your pregnancy hormones will be running wild. I very nearly called my son a ridiculous name 7 years ago. Once my hormones had calmed down I was so relieved I listened to others and went against it at the last moment.

Otherwise, my suggestions are:

  • catalogue
  • sale
  • discount code
nervouslandlord · 15/02/2025 19:52

Makes a change from Wren or Rowan.

In fact tho I do think this has to be a wind up and we've all fallen for it.

Say both names together and you’ll start sounding like brian badonde.

Ooooo actually - Badonde?

Bigcat25 · 15/02/2025 19:48

As above, Zara is a longstanding name before the store was established. This reads like your kid was named after a clothing store, whether that is true or not.

Nothing will be worse than the poor child I used to know whose parents (Mr and Mrs Clarke) called her Kimberly.

Poor little girl :(

Actually, Wren is a kitchen place, isn't it? So the trend has already started.

I heard a baby called Mark the other day nice enough name but the
Surname is Spencer

Superhansrantowindsor · 15/02/2025 19:47

I would have thought Boden or bohdi was a girls name.
eithervway they’ll get called bogey at school.

This is not a serious post. There is no way 😂😂😂

I'm planning on calling my next child Boden. It'll go nicely with their siblings Pets-at-Home and Lush.

Don't - somebody will actually call their child Lush.

Merrygoround8 · 15/02/2025 19:44

Hard hat time….

If you want Bodhi just name them Bodhi. Boden, frankly, is silly - sorry.

Phoenix as a fire middle name, and Rowan for nature.
