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.

Sounds like a mattress company or a new type of yoga where you have lattes while doing it

I know a dog Bodhi (age 5) named after the Point Break character, and a baby boy Bohdi (spelt incorrectly IMO and it annoys me every time I see it!)
I think it is really having a surge and there'll be tons of them by the time yours is at school, depends if that bothers you.
How about Baxter, Bentley, Brody

Why would you want to call your child "Body"? 🤔
In written form it looks like an Indian name too (nothing wrong with that, but if you're not Indian, it's kinda weird).

There is a Bodhi who goes to nursery with DD (2.5 years old) and she loves him.

I quite like the name, that and Brody/Brodie

Not what you asked for but if you have doubts on Bodhi you could consider Rodaigh pronounced the same way, traditional Celtic name

My nephew is called Bodhi, my dd (6, speech delay) calls him bogey. Not deliberate/ malicious, just a pronunciation thing.

I love the name Bodhi - I know of 2, both boys and both British Indian. Both also under 5, so it seems the name is slowly gaining in popularity. (Also the name of a character in Star Wars Rogue One, to add to Point Break.)

Beau Selecta!?

I just think of Point Break

Would you consider another B name, like... Bhalonz?

@debwong 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Such an ugly name 🫣

It sounds like a brand of period pants.

I thought if the baby on Casualty too. Then Point Break.

I love it! But then I’m a surfer beach bum!
definitely more a boys name but I’ve heard both boys and girls named Bodhi.

Bodhisattva, 'a person who is able to reach nirvana but delays doing so through compassion for suffering beings.'

Or Bodhi from Point Break.

It’s a MN joke. You know this, right? Right?

If you are serious then only if you are a hardcore yogi or practising Buddhist. And even then I wouldn’t.

I met a girl with this name but didn't see it written down. I didn't know about the Buddhist connection, and only thought of Bodie and Doyle in the Professionals. I don't like the sound of it and can't figure out why.

I love it. Only met one (he'd be about five now).

I like it. The youngest boy in The Skelton Key (Netflix) is called it, though it's spelt Bode.

That’s a different name, though.

No.

I know a few bodhis. Girls, boys (and actually a lovely dog too).

Awful

It’s too fashionable at the moment - I keep hearing it. People think they’re bring cool and unusual but it’s going to boom in 5 years there will be a couple in every reception class.
