Love it! And another vote for the traditional spelling.

I love it. Use the traditional spelling. If I saw "Bode" I'd want to pronounce it with a long O sound and no "ee" sound at the end. Like "that doesn't BODE well."

It doesn't matter. Its a middle name. It wont be used very often.

Where did you hear name? It’s challenging if not from your culture or devotional practice. I like it but you need to understand the name and be comfortable with it being considered appropriative. If it really resonates use it if it’s trying to find a unique US name please think deeply as to why it appeals to you.

Steely Dan? No idea.
I’m guessing more people might know who Bode Miller is.
Usually DCUM is hell on "kre8tive" "yoonique" spellings.
The standard spelling in English is Bodhi. It's Sanskrit.
Is OP Indian? If so, then go with the traditional spelling. Otherwise I’d go with Bode

1. I think it's fine for a middle name, but if I heard it I would assume you are Buddhist
2. You PPs are very ignorant of world religions. You should pick up a book about Buddhism. Doesn't everyone get into it as a teenager?

Plenty of people will know how to spell his name, starting (but certainly not ending) with fans of Steely Dan.
