Help[Opinions] Re: Bodhi
in reply to a message by number1212
I'd agree with the family, re-think Bodhi. As a three year old, it's adorable to give your kid some cutesy name, but you also have to realize kids grow up and what's adorable on a 3 year old might not work so well for a 30 year old man, especially if little Bodhi doesn't grow up to be a surfer.
Sure, Bode Miller makes it work but what if Bodhi grows up to be an accountant? Kinda surprised that during this recession parents aren't thinking more about the future for their kids. Who knows what things will be like in 21 years, but do you want to add to your kid's troubles when he's starting out by giving him a name that sounds to some rather juvenile and childlike when he's first having to send out resumes after college?
Friends of mine had the same issue w/ their family not liking the name Cody, the mom was determined use the name (this was in the beginning of the Cody craze), luckily the dad wasn't so sure and his parents convinced him Cody might not fit when the boy was older, so they named him Matthew Cody nn Cody. Now he's 18 and when he graduated high school, he was Matt. He's a rather nerdy kid who's majoring in chemistry, not exactly the kid you'd picture being named Cody.
