Nervous about the name!

[VickyHart]

So DH and I have been really struggling with a name for our first baby boy due September. Friends and family have hated all the names that we have shared so far and so we are keeping this one to ourselves as we have fallen in love with it!

I'm a bit nervous to even say it out loud but am curious to test it out and I wonder what everyone thinks on here?

It's Bhodi. We'd call him Bo fo short. Our last name is a real tongue twister- quite Germanic with harsh T and K sounds so we needed something soft and short...

Thank you!

Thanks Gladders

sorry but i agree with seeker

No worries KristinaM it's good to know people's thoughts. It's good practice for me and I'm gaining confidence.
I also keep thinking about when we go through the baby name books and say yes, yuck, yes, could work, yuck, it's such a personal thing isn't it and what's right for one isn't for the rest. I do need to get the image of fat civil servant in cheap suit called Bo out of my head though- too funny Seeker

DON"T get it out of your head - you might be creating him!!!!

There's a Bodie character in The Wire.

cthea - thanks until then I had been going bow-dee as in tie a bow or bow-dee as in bow down.

So it's the first one then!

I actually really like it. I have a name (in fact two) that have to be spelt but love my unusual name.

PS lots of names are rubbish if you anaylse them too much and my DS has a really 'normal' name which my mum hates (thanks mum), but who cares!

That's so true CloudDragon.

cool was bhodi the name of the swayze character in that surf movie?

I like it also, with your original spelling.

Just go with it

I agree with gladders (prefer the Bodie spelling as more people will "get" this)

However I think Bo is fine for both boys and girls.

It's a gorgeous name, I really like it

Thank you everyone, what lovely positive comments, you have really helped me out x
