Somebody called their kid this? Really?

Boden is fine.

My colleagues son is called Boden. It really suits him. I ran a day nursery for years. Trust me, it's not one of the worst at all.

Oh, I know an Ocean with a little brother called Reef.

I know a little girl called Pink, usually called Pinkie, and nearly always dressed in pink.

I have met a Boden too and actually didn't think it was strange 🤷‍♀️ was expecting something ridiculous

Boden is not that bad compared to poster on here who has just told us she called her kid Plum lol

we know a Boden. not a fan, personally.

There is a Beauden in our playgroup. I actually quite like it

When you have met a little girl called Prada, Boden is nothing.

Why is the first response to an unusual name on MN always "Chav! Chav!" rather than "I wonder what culture that's from?".

Boden is floor in German!

Would be very weird as a name there!

I know a little Boden I've never thought there was anything strange about it to be honest.

I know someone with a Boden, I quite like it, it's by no stretch the worst I've heard!

@MindyStClaire I really don't know, it's quite sad that everyone's first reaction to an unusual name is "chavtastic"

I much prefer Boden to hideous 'bell tone' names like Jayden, Hayden etc
Or Jaime-Lee, Kai...
My list could on!

I like the name Hayden. My DS best friend is Hayden. This little Hayden is from a well off and not at all chavvy family.

Boden isn't so bad. I have heard much much worse.

Don't see the problem with Boden at all.
What have I missed OP?
Know a person who named her children
Britney, Shakira and Beyonce. Thought it couldn't possibly could get any way worse until she had a son and named him Tupac!!!

Is the child’s name even Boden? That just looks like a logo to me.

Must make labelled clothes for nursery significantly faster if you name them after a shop. “Emaness! Time for tea! And bring John-Lewis and Zara with you!”
