Are these names too strange?

[pugwash]

I'm expecting in dec, other half has come up with Bear or Body for first names! Ever heard of these (apart from Bear Gryllis!).

Yes I think he was going for the spiritual aspect.

Horatio is unusual We both used to work on the ship that Hornblower was filmed on, so nice connection.

There is a Bodhi/Bodie (?) at my DC's nursery.

it always makes me think of The Professionals

Yes-don't do it.

Conjures up images of 70's TV/film

I vote no.

Edward - Bear for nick name.

Bodie if you must - but not Body. It will be mispronounced accidentally or on purpose for his whole life.

Bode (bodie) as in Bode Miller? Champion skiier and general bad boy?

No thank you. Particularly not 'body'. Anyway the situation will have long since been resolved, I didn't realise this was an old thread.

I did know someone called 'Jealous', I kid you not.

Cheryl Cole and Liam Payne's son is called Bear. It's dreadful.

Bodhi I actually quite like, with that spelling.
Brodie is also nice.
Dylan is great

Yes, Dylan is my favourite of those.
I'm seriously wondering how I found this thread, it happened by accident and I didn't notice how old it was!

If you love your child DONT call it body. Maybe you could call it Brodie instead

Zombie 🧟‍♂️. Little Bear or Body will be about 9-10 years old now

People will be glancing at others sideways when they hear these weird names.

Too weird..

Ohh, zombie thread!!!

He’s called Edward, Bear is a nickname.
