Spelling Suggestions?

I'm pretty sure we're set on Bodi.  Thing is, there are about 10 different ways to spell it.  I don't want anything to "out there" or "trying to hard", but making it easy to pronounce.  It is originally spelled Bodi, but I hate names that end in "i".   

Ok help me out:

Boedie

Boedy

Boadie (my sister suggested this one - I think it looks like toad)

Bodie

Suggestions?

Is it for a boy or girl? Idk, for a boy I'd say Body, Bodi or Bodie for a girl...

I would go with Bodhi. Bodie is ok, but both Bodi and Bodie make me want to pronounce it like "body."

The only spelling I have ever seen is Bodhi.  I love it.

2-Step

Boy: Bodhi or Boedy

Girl: Boedie or Boedi

Don't know why, but that is how I think of it!

It's for a boy, and omg I love it with the "h"!! I was leary of it being pronounced "Body" too, I think there was a pro skateboarder who spelled it that way, but it's just a confusing conversations waiting to happen.

I know a Bode and a Bodhi

Jenna Elfman's husband is Bodhi Elfman.  And I've heard of Bode Miller, the pro skiier. Both pronounced Bow-Dee.

I'd probably only use either spelling. Though the name is nms.

I would go for Bodhi, as in bodhisattva.

yeah, I agree with Bodi or Bodhi!

This was our Boy's name (were on team green).  We were going to spell it Bode.  It is also my MIL maiden name.

There is a skier named Bode Miller, although that is not his real first name

Spelling it Bodhi like others have suggested looks more complete to me than Bodi.  The other spelling options are awkward or might be mistaken for body.

Boedie and Boedy -- there is no need for the "e" -- it's just an added vowel -- I hate when people do that.  Bodie or Bodey would be best.
