He'd be a brother for Dexter. What do you think? DP and I love this name, with Bo as a nn.

Interested to hear the general consensus!

I actually know a family with Bodhi and Dexter.

I know a few young Bodhis. All with surfer parents. Thanks to Point Break it’s a real surfer name.

If your DP doesn’t like Beau then why would he like Bodhi with Bo as a nickname?

MrBobLobLaw · 01/09/2019 22:27

That's funny @PictureWall! They do sound good together I think. Distinct but complementing. Don't think our DS2 would be doing much surfing though sadly, unless the Thames gets particularly choppy!

@Creatureofthenight it's the spelling of Beau rather than the pronunciation that DP dislikes. He says it seems a bit feminine Hmm I've tried to explain.

I really don’t like it... sorry OP. but my opinion doesn’t matter.

burnttoastandjam · 01/09/2019 22:35

I know several Bohdi's and love it.

Hate Beau though. (Also know two of them).

Ohyesiam · 01/09/2019 22:36

I think it’s disrespectful to use it unless you are a Buddhist.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 01/09/2019 22:38

I know a boy and a dog both called Bodhi.
It's from Point Break right?
Goes well with Dexter.

Creatureofthenight · 01/09/2019 22:40

Ah I see.

You might also like Indigo (indie for short too) 🤷🏻‍♀️

Point Break

Will he become a serial bank robber??

bruffin · 01/09/2019 22:48

I actually really like it! Very unusual and unique
Its not unique.
There is a boy called Bohdi Schofield whose mother has spent years on her you tube channel claiming he and his sister have schizophrenia and medicating with inappropriate strong psychotic drugs. Thankfully after her latest tv appearance the children have been put in foster care.

Moondancer73 · 01/09/2019 22:48

Love it

I know three under the age of two.

onemorecakeplease · 01/09/2019 22:51

How about Brodie? I think that's also cute and less religious connotations.

NoNoNoOohmaybe · 01/09/2019 22:51

I really dislike it, can't say why but it looks really try hard to me.

Love dexter tho, so you have good taste!

TildaTurnip · 01/09/2019 22:55

namechangedforthis1980 · 01/09/2019 23:00

Cool name, sounds like he should be a surfer dude!

chesci · 01/09/2019 23:02

California is full of them. It's a very surfer/skier name. It's also a lifetime of spelling it.

WinterHare · 01/09/2019 23:08

@LaMarschallin Grin

It's a terrible name. Not very Professional.

Blueuggboots · 01/09/2019 23:10

Why not spell it Bodie? Gets rid of the Buddhist connection but still sounds the same..
