Thoughts on the name Bodhi?

[Kayf090]

Baby boy due soon had a name I really like, Bodhi was a name I had in mind, have you heard anyone named Bodhi? Any other ideas with the letter b would be helpful.thank you for reading.

It’s the name of the tree which Buddha is said to have been sitting under when he achieved enlightenment

Dear god no

Surf's up dude. It's a cute name.
Isn't one of Meghan Fox's kids called this?
I don't know anyone in real life called Bodhi.

Chloe Madely has just named her daughter this, not my cup of tea tbh.

Chloe Madeley and James Haskell just named their baby daughter Bodhi so I think it's a girl's or unisex name? May become more popular now as a result, not sure if that bothers you...

I know a little boy called this. Not my taste but he is a very sweet little thing.

I'm old so I always think of the 70's TV show the Professionals with Bodie and Doyle charging around in a fab Capri when I hear this name

I think it sounds very pretentious, sorry. Unless it is specifically linked to the child's own cultural heritage.

I'm so old it reminds me of Bodie as in Bodie and Doyle from the 70s TV programme Professionals

Bodhi from Point Break! Great character (played by Patrick Swayze) but not sure I'd name my kid after them although I've heard worse.

Is it pronounced like Body?

I like it. There’s also Brodie which is very popular in Scotland at the moment

It's not a name that will get the MN thumbs up but I think it's fine. Reminds me of this frosted tipped surfer.

I know of 2 little boys with this name both 3 & under so I think it is becoming more popular

l quite like it but probably wouldn't choose it myself, I think of it as quite ‘trendy’ so suppose it would become dated in time

I know a Bodhi, he is 5 and adorable. He does live by the sea and will likely end up being a surfer.

Definitely makes me think of Patrick Swayze in Point Break 😁

Brody or Brady?

Goes well with a brother called Dhoylle.

I know a little Australian Bodhi

I know two dogs named Bodhi. There's also Bode Miller the Olympic skier, I think that's pronounced the same but you'd have a lifetime of explaining that it doesn't rhyme with toad 🐸

Incidentally (I am now poking around on Wikipedia) his sister's name is Genesis Wren Bungo Windrushing Turtleheart, and brother is Nathaniel Kinsman Ever Chelone Skan.

If you need some additional ideas!

I like it but it’s a top 200 name so not that rare if that bothers you.

Dreadful

Tom Parker's son is called Bodhi I think. I like it.

Boh-dee
