Struggling to find a baby boy name we love!

Hello Berries,

Seeking help for our baby boy!

My husband and I always thought we’d name a son [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]… but now that it’s for real, struggling to commit because it is a bit non traditional and we both have very traditional names! He still likes it but I’m hesitant after some family responses… Would love your thoughts… last name begins with r and has 3 syllables

[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_m]Bode[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_m]Boden[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]

We also love [name_u]Elliot[/name_u].
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_m]John[/name_m]
Vs [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]?

Others we like:
[name_m]Eli[/name_m]
[name_m]Roman[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m]

:confused:

I would avoid [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] due to the religious signifcance in the buddhist culture (if you are buddhist scratch that)

Would you like [name_m]Bowie[/name_m] it’s similar to [name_m]Bode[/name_m] but sounds more complete.

Other suggestions -

[name_m]Ronan[/name_m]
[name_u]Lyle[/name_u]
[name_m]Nate[/name_m]
[name_m]Zach[/name_m]/ary
[name_m]Scott[/name_m]
Russell
[name_m]Graham[/name_m]
[name_m]Mitchell[/name_m]
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
[name_m]Connor[/name_m]
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m]

[name_m]Boden[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] is a great alternative :slight_smile:

[name_m]Boden[/name_m] is a nice alternative to Bohdi.

I love [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] for you. It’s handsome and traditional.
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] would be handsome.

I love [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]! I’d use it myself but my surname is incompatible. I think [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_m]John[/name_m] is lovely.

There’s also [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] to consider, or how about [name_m]Bowen[/name_m]?

I love [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]! [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] works well too, if you wanted to stick with the same middle name.

I also like [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Reuben[/name_m], [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] and [name_m]Andreas[/name_m]

I like [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m]. What about [name_m]Bowie[/name_m], [name_m]Bowman[/name_m], or [name_m]Bowen[/name_m]?

I agree with Bodan or [name_m]Bowen[/name_m]. Otherwise I suggest [name_m]Leonard[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
