Middle names for boden?

[armt]

Thoughts on the name Boden (nick names Bode or Bodie)

And middle names (we like more classical middle names) or ideally a fire and earth name

2 middle names needed!

I vaguely knew a very junior army officer who was always addressed as "Snowball". When I asked why they called him that, it was "Because that's his name". It was his surname.

Boden Oliver Bonas perhaps?

Why do you find it rude that people are advising you not to name your child after a clothes shop?

I agree - terrible idea for a name.

I get that OP thinks people are being rude, but this is what her child will likely face with that name in the UK.

Bodhi/Bodie/Body would probably be the better way to go tbh

Boden Fatface

This. Poor kid!

A hard no on Boden. For the same reason as everyone else has said for 11 pages

Barold and Nedmund.

I think everyone should stop being so mean.

If a baby can be called Ryan or Cooper, or Mercedes they can be called Boden.

You do know that Ryan and Mercedes are actually names? And IMO kids shouldn’t be called Cooper - it’s a surname.

It's a case of 'cruel to be kind'.....hopefully the thread will save the poor child from the humiliation of being named after a clothing brand which receives plenty of ridicule.

What’s a “fire and hearth” name?

Dunno, but every other name seems to be Sonny and Teddy, so I'm guessing one of those.

It’s not the worst name I’ve heard, but it’s definitely an eye-roller. I’m not even sure what type of name it is, is it a surname, or after the brand (ie Armani or Chanel) or an invented name because you like the hard ‘d’ sound in the middle? I wouldn’t even know what to suggest as an alternative it’s so out-there.

Wow everyone is being so rude.

To be fair, I think it's a joke, no one's going to call their child after a clothing company!

Where I live we don't have a Boden and no one is middle class to shop there anyway. I think it's objectively a cute name and I like the shortened Bo or Bodie.

Boden James Lawrence
Boden Alexander William
Boden Arthur Oliver

🤷‍♀️

Or someone who makes barrels.

Oh I did call for it

All fad name's I know Bowie was popular after David Bowies death.

@StormingNorman Ryan and Cooper are surnames, Mercedes is a girls name. The issue comes when a surname is used by a company and for a first name. No one calls their child Sainsbury or Boden for a reason.

If a surname has been used as a first name (like Mason) and then become a large brand (like Ryan Air) there is an issue, and the name goes out of favour.

I still maintain Boden Clarence Sayle is the perfect combination.

What else is Ryan apart from a boys name?

Just seen pp. Ryan Air. Get it now.

Are you in Wales, by any chance ?
Boden Haf Preis sounds good.
