Opinions on Bodhi?

[rachelhobson]

opinions on the name Bodhi for a boy please

Love love love it.

Possibility for Bogie as a nickname at school?

I like the sound but not the spelling. The spelling doesn't look right.

I don't like it at all. Sorry.

Depends on what you’re going for. For me it has L.A. In the 90s connotations as there was a new age bookstore called The Bodhi Tree.

I'm not sure how to pronounce it so I imagine lots of other people might struggle.

Is it said Bo-vee?

Disclosing my ignorance no doubt but I’ve never heard it before don’t know anyone called it.
I would assume Brodie had been intended or that it was a really interesting Celtic name I just hadn’t come across.
I like the sound of it.

How is it pronounced? Is it bod-hee or bow-Dee

Really not a fan.

Are you Buddhists?

It looks made up and too try-hard.

I prefer Brody

Reminds me of Point Break

Bodhi Zen clinic. That is literally the only context I have for the name and it's not one I would choose for a boy.

It's also going to date very badly, I suspect.

Is it welsh? Bow-dee?

Its not the nicest sounding name.

I love it

Unless you’re a Patrick Swayze tribute act, no.

It looks like it would be pronounced 'body'. How horrible if so. If it's pronounced ' bow-dee' then slightly better but it's not great imo.

He'll likely change it by deed poll once he's 18.
Awful name.

Is it from a specific culture?

Horrid

Bodhi the bogie.kids are cruel

try hard surfer chic

I think it’s a lovely name but only really works if you are super cool surfer dude.

It seems popular for some reason but i hate it.

Yep, point break.

I think its awful .
