Bodie is super hipster and Zeus is super name-nerd. I don't know how I feel about it.

I like Zeus on a person. It's like Hera, but man-style! A little flakey for me to do, but I approve.Bodie is annoying though ... should've been Bodhi.

An odd pairing. I can't imagine a young Zeus. The idea makes me giggle.

I don't like Bodie, but Zeus is an old GP of mine. I wouldn't use it for a child, but I think it's bad ass for any kind of animal. I was seriously considering naming my parakeet this when I got him. Changed my mind and named him Sigge though. :)

Wow, now that's unusual. Can't say I like either. Zeus is just...too much. A name with gigantism. And Bodie sounds really hillbilly. It made me smile to see that there are boys called Boden, since that's the name of a town in northern Sweden.

I am not sure what I'd call the spectrum, but those two are on opposite ends of it!
