Nervous about the name!

So DH and I have been really struggling with a name for our first baby boy due September. Friends and family have hated all the names that we have shared so far and so we are keeping this one to ourselves as we have fallen in love with it!

I'm a bit nervous to even say it out loud but am curious to test it out and I wonder what everyone thinks on here?

It's Bhodi. We'd call him Bo fo short. Our last name is a real tongue twister- quite Germanic with harsh T and K sounds so we needed something soft and short...

Thank you!

Actually I prefer Bohdi.

VickyHart · 25/07/2009 19:44

Arrrgh, you're right, point break- grrrr I must have stored that in my subconcious because we love the film! Well spotted DebiNewberry. Actually, I like it a little more now but yes, perhaps Bodhi is kinder!

Bow-de would be the pronunciation.

I like it BitOfFun

I like Bhodi - don't like Bo too much, but hey.

Just don't tell your family untill you've registered!

I really think it is spelt Bodhi and that i like....bhodi doesn't look right to me....i think the patrick swayze character is called Bodhi yes....

VickyHart · 25/07/2009 19:42

Bhodi is Indian I believe. Yes, there is a spelling Bodhi, again, we love the spelling bhodi, like a Bhodi tree, but perhaps that's just ridiculous too. Can you tell my confidence on this subject is not great!

It's very distinctive, isn't it? He won't just be any Bodhi then...

DebiNewberry · 25/07/2009 19:40

I like it.

Is Patrick Swayze called Bhodi in Point Break?

girlandboy · 25/07/2009 19:39

How do you pronounce it?

Boddy or
Bow-di

BitOfFun · 25/07/2009 19:39

Love Bo. What does Bhodi mean?

jkklpu · 25/07/2009 19:39

what's the origin? looks as though it could be South Asian; on the other hand, it also looks as though it could be made-up

bronze · 25/07/2009 19:39

Do you mean Bodhi?

MmeJaffaB · 25/07/2009 19:38

I like it!
