Aleph?

Trying to find the perfect name for our little boy who’s coming soon, I stumbled upon an old favourite that I didn’t consider yet.

[name_m]Aleph[/name_m]! (or Alif as alternative spelling)

Considered middle name is [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] so full name would be [name_m]Aleph[/name_m] [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m].

Thoughts? :slight_smile:

I’ve never heard of anyone considering [name_m]Aleph[/name_m] before (well except for [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] Portman).
I guess that gives the name massive bonus points in my book.
Honestly it’s nms but again if you like it then I don’t see why not. I think the meaning is cool and sounds kinda fun.

I like it a lot!

I really like [name_m]Aleph[/name_m]. [name_m]Aleph[/name_m] [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] is really cool.

Maybe I just say things weird but all I get is Alph. Like the e doesn’t have enough around it for it to be defined. I’m a fan of crisper sounds and there’s nothing very distinct in [name_m]Aleph[/name_m].

I like the middle name, though!

It’s the Arabic letter “a”. I like the name, but prefer the spelling [name_m]Alef[/name_m] or Alif :slight_smile:

I really like it, and I like this spelling as well as [name_m]Alef[/name_m]. Not sure about [name_m]Aleph[/name_m] [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] though. The flow’s fine, it just feels a bit try-hard quirky. I’d maybe go with a different middle - either a more traditional name or at least a name with a more traditional sound.

Eg. [name_m]Aleph[/name_m] [name_m]Bastian[/name_m], [name_m]Aleph[/name_m] [name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m], [name_m]Aleph[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u], [name_m]Aleph[/name_m] [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]…

I prefer the ending with an “F”. I think it’s just ok. [name_m]Aleph[/name_m] [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] looks off to me, maybe because of the 5 letters in each name. I prefer [name_m]Alef[/name_m] [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m], but it still isn’t my favorite. I do love [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] though!

I don’t mind the name, however I know a little girl called [name_m]Aleph[/name_m] (African parents). I like [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m]. [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] [name_m]Aleph[/name_m]? :slight_smile:
