Boy or girls name????

[Smilehappy]

Oh and I both like Brodie/Brody... Upon telling people we "like" that name they say its a girls name (were having a boy)

Opinions?

[2beornot]

I'd say it can be either. But if I was using it for a boy id spell it Brody and use Brodie for a girl

[ZolaBuddleia]

Me too, Brodie for a girl, Brody for a boy.

[Chottie]

I think it is a unisex name too.

[JojoMags]

I would always think of it as a boys' name, with either spelling, and prefer Brodie to Brody. The latter looks too much like 'broody', and looks 'wrong' to me.

[Lebkuchenlover]

I know a male Brodie. To my ears Brodie/Brody is definately a boys' name.

[daimbardiva]

Boy. I've never heard of it for a girl.

[MortifiedAdams]

Both -ie for a girl, -y for a boy.

[sjuperyoni]

It's a boys name, i've never seen it for a girl. We considered brodie for ds but mymum kept saying bridie..

[lollypopsicle]

Unisex

[HorryIsUpduffed]

Boy, definitely.

I don't generally approve of surnames as first names for girls, but for boys and with Scottish surnames there is significant precedent and I get it.

[Gugglebum]

I'd assume it was a boy if I saw the name written down. I do prefer it with a 'y'.

[HappyJustToBe]

I prefer Brody and would assume it is a boys' name.

After some of the comments about DD's name when I was pregnant I would now always wait until baby is here and named before telling people. I was told the name we had chosen for DD was a stripper name...

[Smilehappy]

Thanks everyone, we won't be saying any more to family, I find it very rude for someone to share their dislike about your thought-about / chosen child's name...

And to be told its a strippers name is unbelievable!

My sister told me just to wait until baby is here and TELL them his name that way they don't get an opinion/option!

[lovemybabyboy]

Sounds like a boys name to me.

[DessieLou]

I'd presume it was a boy too. I know a boy called Brodie but prefer Brody.

[laravh]

I live it for a girl (spelt Brodie) - there was a female character in Home and Awayages ago and I've loved it since. But I also know a Scottish family with a son called Brody and apparently it means brother.
Love it for either

[Mellymog]

boy - Patrick Swayze's character in point break?

[BNmum]

Boy

[AllegraLilac]

I'd go Brody for a boy (As in Jenner), and Bridie as a girly option.

[iheartmycat]

Brodie is a boys name - and means 'second son'

[MoonHare]

I definitely think of it as a boys name.

Think it was the name of Miranda's son in SATC.

[MoonHare]

Or maybe that was Brady.......

[ShadowStorm]

It sounds more like a boys name to me. But I wouldn't be entirely sure either way.

[Onesleeptillwembley]

I wasn't even aware it's a name. It truly is awful.

[LynetteScavo]

It's a boys name.
