    changed the list again!..Noah or Bodhi..?

    Ok i took Kalan off the list, everyone i mentioned it too said oh yes i like Callum!
    I dont want bubs having to correct his name his whole life. And im not that much a fan of Callum.
    Or Kay-lan which others pronounced it as.

    So its now between Bodhi and Noah.
    We love both names..
    So need to see what others think..

    Ta in advance..

    I like kalan but I'd spell it Callan if you want that pronunciation.

    But honestly you go with your heart. People learn how to pronounce names.

    I know a Calum whose name is pronounce Kay-lum. Most people only have to be told once or twice

    I've always like Callan & Callum. I saw somewhere that Sarah Murdoch's (?) son is Kalan or maybe Kallan. I think I prefer it with a C though.

    Out of Noah & Bohdi I prefer Noah although it is fairly popular & that sort of turns me off it a bit. For me Bohdi sounds a bit boganish - sorry don't want to offend anyone, just my opinion.

    I would have pronounced Kalan as Kaylan just looking at it. Out of the two names I really like Noah. Bodhi would get Brodie a lot and I think it would get misspelt a lot. Just being honest

    Bodhi. I know a little boy called Bodhi. I also know a dog called Bodhi! In my experience, it is a popular name with buddhists. But still quite uncommon generally. Noah is very popular. Good luck!
    FWIW, I love Kalan!

    Im still going with Noah not a huge fan of Bodhi, DP liked that name for a boy but to me it sounded like bogie, or bogan

    Definitely Noah. Bodhi makes me think of Pauly Shore for some reason....must be the bogan sound.

    My DS's name is Bodie (spelt that way) and I admit he does get Brodie sometimes. Noah is too common these days.

    I don't think its boganish at all!

    .... oooh i'm so sorry as i instantly thought the same thing

    Noah is a lovely name (i like Callum)

    If your not a fan of Callum i went to school with a Cullen, just an idea (though can be a surname too) !!

    How funny, I'm usually so strictly traditional with what I like in a name, but the moment I saw Bohdi, I thought, how nice, reminds me of a Bohdi tree and very Buddist sounding...and I'm definately one for going, ewwwww bogan name, but that doesn't strike a bogany chord with me lol.
