I thought Regan was a girls name.
So Bodhi, by default.

buttercup54321 · 30/06/2018 00:00

Bodhi sounds like bogey. Regan is a girls name.

RedDwarves · 30/06/2018 00:07

Regan is feminine.

Bodhi is awful. Trendy bogan name where I live.

Sophronia · 30/06/2018 00:09

Neither.

TheVanguardSix · 30/06/2018 00:13

Are you a practicing Buddhist, OP? I would only call my child Bodhi if we were a Buddhist family.
Regan is a girl's name.

There's Tiegen which is a boy's name and has a similar sound to Regan.

Joeybee · 30/06/2018 06:21

Bodhi for sure. Not liking the other name at all.

BarbaraWarpecker · 30/06/2018 06:42

I don't like either.

AuntieStella · 30/06/2018 06:59

Bodhi

The dominant asdociation in UK for Regan is one of the nasty DSs in King Lear. As your other choice is from another culture, I'm assuming Regan has other associations for you, but I don't think it travels.

17caterpillars1mouse · 30/06/2018 07:02

Neither but I i feel had to choose bodhi

TryingToForgeAnewLife · 30/06/2018 07:04

Tiegan is a girls name too

JessambardKingdomBrunel · 30/06/2018 08:54

Bodhi is awful and hideous.

Regan is a girl's name.

I think you need to go back to the drawing board.

Icklepup · 30/06/2018 08:55

Bodhi

OlumOrange · 30/06/2018 09:01

I know a little boy called Regan

Bodhi I like but kids will make the bogey comment but kids will always find something with someone anyway

hungryhippie · 30/06/2018 09:01

Both horrible. Regan is a girls name.

Discotits · 30/06/2018 09:03

Neither.

MinisterforCheekyFuckery · 30/06/2018 09:03

I don't like either to be honest. Both very American. Also isn't Regan a girls name?

WhatDidItSay · 30/06/2018 09:11

I really don’t like Bodhi and I also would think a Regan was a girl but If I met a boy with either name name I wouldnt give it any thought.

Phyllispontypandy · 30/06/2018 09:13

Bodhi is lovely. Thinking of using it as a middle name for DS when he arrives in a week or 2.

Lucked · 30/06/2018 09:15

I don't like either. I think Brodie is nice

TatianaLarina · 30/06/2018 09:26

Neither.

Aprilshouldhavebeenmyname · 30/06/2018 09:27

Or there is Doyle...

3catsandcounting · 30/06/2018 09:40

April 😂 - my thoughts too.

kaytee87 · 30/06/2018 11:26

Terrible, and Regan is a girls name

JazzyJelly · 30/06/2018 13:32

I taught a male Regan. Nice kid, suited him.

tinykirst · 30/06/2018 13:37

Regan isn't a girls name? I've heard boys with that name.
Choose whichever you prefer!

I'd probably go Regan over Bodhi
