Don't be daft woman!

Great name.

NN Bod?

No! Stick with Rufus. Rufus is fab.

It was Patrick Swayze in Point Break I think, so it'll always remind of a bank robbing, slightly ageing surfer.

Are you Buddhist?

It's not cool - it's silly.

Here are some cool names - one of which might belong to my own DS

Sonny
Teddy

Actually I only appear to like two boys names Shock

Yes I thought Point Break I think Patrick Swayze just about got away with it in a film seems like people on here think, whats the stupidest name I can saddle a child with.

That's nice of you Sonly Hmm

some people might say Teddy is a pretty stupid name too.

I happen to like it,but there are plenty who don't,that's how the world works isn't it?

I love it! Very new agey and underused. More popular in America I think!

tethersend · 07/10/2013 23:15

Is it pronounced Bowdi or Bodi?

Because I could grow to like the former, but the latter is a lifetime of being called Body.

Brodie is better.

sonlypuppyfat · 07/10/2013 23:18

Brodie? Wasn't he in Jaws? Its all about the sea this.

justanuthermanicmumsday · 07/10/2013 23:20

Never heard of it does it mean anything, origins etc?

It reminded me of dhodi al fayed

I think it's a scottish name Sonly, nothing to do with the sea.

Yes it has a story and a meaning,

It's a DP suggestion.

I know a little boy called Bodhi. He is lovely.

tethersend · 07/10/2013 23:26

I need to know now... Is it Bowdi or Bodi?

CressidaMontgomery · 07/10/2013 23:28

Teddy is a wonderful name!

Bohdi is plain try hard and just a bit silly

Mind you, these are all just opinions but its not a name - more saddling a child with something odd for the sake of it

NandH · 07/10/2013 23:29

I walk a dog called bodhi, he is lovely.
