If you both love it, just go for it. Hearing other people's lukewarm opinions is exactly why we choose not to tell anyone our chosen names until after the birth. I don't think you can ever make everyone happy, so at least make yourselves happy
Thanks for all the input, ladies! I really appreciate all the feedback. Its nice to know how people will view his name (if in fact this really is a boy LOL).
I have a Bodhi, spelled with the Sanscrit spelling, and my husband calls him "Bod" all the time. So if "Bode" is mispronounced as "Bod", then so what? I like your spelling too. And I agree to not worry about middle names- that's where you can do whatever you want!
