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.

his sister's name is Genesis Wren Bungo Windrushing Turtleheart, and brother is Nathaniel Kinsman Ever Chelone Skan.

Those read like names chosen by hippies, who started out sober enough with Genesis and then three hours, two joints and three bottles of wine later decide Turtleheart is a most excellent name!

I like it.

Have you read Locke & Key? There is a boy caled Bode in it (pronounced the same - Bo-dee), lovely character to share a name with.

Not if you're not a Buddhist. I mean I wouldn't call my kid Mohammed or Jesus either.

I know one, who is 8. Lovely boy.
It’s not a name that I would use, too alternative and strikes me as trying too hard, but I am quite traditional.
Good luck with your baby.

Dreadful

It's not to my taste but I do know a of couple (both under 5 I think). I also know of a dog called Bodhi.

Sounds like a piece of Ikea furniture.

I know one. He's 4 and a very cool cute kid and really kind and thoughtful. His parents are quite hipster and cool - it's definitely a name that suits him and his family.

I also think of Point Break.

Are you a Buddhist? I don’t think it’s right to use it if not.

I like it. I’ve only come across it for girls though.

Isn’t there a wain on Casualty called it? Ethans son.

It would suit very few DC I would think.

I know a Bodhi. I think it's a lovely name for either sex. Much better than the plethora of dull names that people seem to call their DC.

I don’t like it. Unless you’re Buddhist, I think it’s one of those names that sits very oddly - it’s very much associated with one culture. But it seems to be having a moment, so what do I know?

Some ‘celeb’ recently called their baby girl this recently. I thought it was a boys name tbh. I don’t like it at all but I suppose it’s just personal taste.

My nephew called his son Bhodi last year. He is a surfer and another surfer friend of his called his son Bhodi this year. It is actually becoming quite common.

I think that's a good point.

No one will know if the oerson pronounces it as Boddy or bow-dee or some other variation.

Bode got away quite lightly then!

It's one of those names unless you're wealthy it's going to be tacky.

I was just going to say there’s a character in Locke and key called this. He’s a very annoying child in the Netflix programme 😂

I know one.

No thank you.

That is the point for some

Pretentious moi.

Nephew called this. I love it. Really nice name

I wanted to name my son this but it absolutely clashed with his surname so couldn't..
I know two under 2 so I think it's going to become popular.
