It's kind of like combining Landon and Bode! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us/page/2#post-2189685 Tue, 26 May 2015 15:07:15 +0000 Reese 2189685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@WinterBee: crap. I'm in Ontario too. I haven't met one but I'm not around children a lot. I don't want him to be Nolan. Initial in school. </p> <p>@mauxie: not a fan of Nolie either, but I do like Nole (but would prefer no NN) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us/page/2#post-2189543 Tue, 26 May 2015 13:36:43 +0000 mauxie 2189543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a Landon and they call him "LT" for his nn (T initial for his middle name)</p> <p>I also know a Nolan and they call him Nolie for his nn (which I'm not too big a fan of but it's their baby so who cares what my opinion is lol). </p> <p>Bode/Bodhi/Bodie is growing on me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2189519 Tue, 26 May 2015 13:17:42 +0000 WinterBee 2189519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: I'm in Ontario, a couple hours north of Toronto. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2189195 Tue, 26 May 2015 09:55:53 +0000 lovehoneybee 2189195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nolan is my favorite, but I really like Bode/Bodie (I prefer Bode to Bodie, but the latter would make the pronunciation more obvious, I think? and I automatically think of Bode Miller too..) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2189187 Tue, 26 May 2015 09:51:29 +0000 wonderstruck 2189187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is named Landon so obviously it's my favorite! I'm not a nickname person which is part of the reason I picked it...but yeah, the Dtar Wars people in my family already call him Lando sometimes.</p> <p>I also like Nolan. Not personally a fan of Bode. To me it always sounds like the word body, just pronounced wrong. I'm not sure why but that is always where my brain goes. I do think it would often be pronounced like code - people on baby websites may know better, but as the mom of a Declan, I can attest to the fact that just because people on baby websites think the pronunciation is obvious does NOT mean that will be your experience in real life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2189132 Tue, 26 May 2015 09:17:06 +0000 reverie 2189132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is Bode pronounced Bodie? I feel like there is a lot of room for butchering pronounciation in Bode's future, but in general I don't dislike it. I feel like you can do Landon without a nickname, but Nolan is my preference on your list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2189131 Tue, 26 May 2015 09:16:57 +0000 .twist. 2189131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pronounced Bode like code, but I like it? haha I also love Boden or Bodhi. No nicknames. </p> <p>I do like Nolan too for a secondary option! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2189122 Tue, 26 May 2015 09:07:48 +0000 Reese 2189122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I would worry about it being pronounced like code as well. </p> <p>@Pancakes: great point!</p> <p>@sorrycharlie: I have a weird thing about the word "no" being in the name. Like it may cause deep rooted psychological issues lol. I'm a freak.</p> <p>@WinterBee: where in Canada are you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2189115 Tue, 26 May 2015 09:00:47 +0000 MrsRcCar 2189115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOVE Nolan! I might be a bit biased as it is DS1 name. We have only met one other little one with his name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2189110 Tue, 26 May 2015 08:56:19 +0000 changingtides 2189110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: That's the way I felt about DD's name too! Didn't even realize it was becoming so popular, hadn't heard anyone with that name around us, but as soon as we decided on it, it seemed to be all over. But we love it and stuck with it and glad we did. Like @sorrycharlie: if that's the name you love, I wouldn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2189088 Tue, 26 May 2015 08:42:40 +0000 WinterBee 2189088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: I like Bodhi (that spelling) the best. I have only met one or two Bodhi's. There are a ton of Landon and Nolan's around, that's the only reason why I voted for Bodhi.<br /> I like the name Nolan the best, but there are a lot around here. Your area might be different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2189071 Tue, 26 May 2015 08:26:18 +0000 lawbee11 2189071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Nolan the best. I think Bode would constantly be pronounced to rhyme with code. I also LOVE PP's suggestion of Boden. Or Bowen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2189063 Tue, 26 May 2015 08:19:46 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2189063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like Landon and would never think to call someone named Landon "Don".</p> <p>Can't stand the Bodhi spelling of Bode/Bodie - but the name is cute! We've got friends with a son named Bodie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2189045 Tue, 26 May 2015 08:06:27 +0000 sorrycharlie 2189045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Nolan! I wouldn't worry about popularity if you love it. My oldest was #3 on the chart and we have yet to run into a peer with her name - and we have a museum and zoo membership!</p> <p>A friend has a Nolan and when he was a baby they affectionately called him Nono :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2189030 Tue, 26 May 2015 07:48:48 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2189030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, you know which one I like the most! We are naming LO Landon. I do feel like ever since we decided on it, we've been hearing it more and more! (On TV mostly.) I personally don't know any Landon's. I have one friend who named her baby Nolan last year, other than that I don't know any of those either. (Except Nolan Ryan, the baseball player.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2189018 Tue, 26 May 2015 07:37:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2189018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Bode/Bodie- but really dislike the spelling Bodhi. I don't think anyone would ever think to spell It that way.<br /> Also, I wouldn't think to pronounce Bode as rhyming with Code. It's Bodie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2189013 Tue, 26 May 2015 07:32:40 +0000 petunia354 2189013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer Nolan! Second choice would be Landon. I don't like the "ie" spelling for Bodie at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2189012 Tue, 26 May 2015 07:32:21 +0000 yellowbird 2189012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Landon the most. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2189010 Tue, 26 May 2015 07:30:02 +0000 mediagirl 2189010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Nolan, don't like Landon because it's SO popular (totally more so than Nolan) and think Bode is adorable (reminds me of Bode Miller) but despise the spelling Bodhi. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2189003 Tue, 26 May 2015 07:17:58 +0000 NovBaby1112 2189003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Nolan the best, then Bode. Although I pronounced it like code at first, so I would spell it Bodie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2188983 Tue, 26 May 2015 06:26:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 2188983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Nolan and don't think it's that popular/ common. I only know of one. </p> <p>Bode is cool but I feel that people will constantly mispronounce and misspell it. The only Bode I know of is Bode Miller. </p> <p>I do like Landon too- I don't think u ou need a NN for any of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-us#post-2188979 Tue, 26 May 2015 06:24:08 +0000 Pancakes 2188979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for Nolan, because it's always been one of my favorite names. If you're concerned about its popularity, consider that almost twice as many boys were named Landon in 2014, and Landon has been ranked higher for longer, so you'd probably be more likely to meet another Landon than another Nolan.</p> <p>ETA: I see you're in Canada, and that Nolan may be more popular than Landon, although I didn't see exact numbers of how many boys had each name in 2014. So I would say that although they're both relatively popular, if you love Nolan, you should go for it! </p>
