I like it. I wouldn't use it but I like it, if that makes sense. It makes me think of 80s/early 90s US movies. I don't think I've ever met a Cody tbh!

Go for it if you both like it. You'll always get those who sneer at any name that sounds American (why??) but it's a nice enough name.

I really like American names - they're always more unusual here, but don't sound dated... :)

Presume for a boy. It sounds American, not a name I particularly like but it's not awful.

Well I love it OP, but then I'm someone who was American-born, and has an American-sounding name.

I hate the snobbery that surrounds such names on MN, although it tends to be an extension of general snobbery towards anything American on here, which I've seen from time to time.

If you love it, go for it.

I don't know why people on here hate American names!

Its chavvy.

Here in the US it's pretty trailer-trash. Automatically makes one think of Budweiser beer, camoflage attire, pickup trucks and such.

I don't see how it's chavvy Hmm

OP if you like the name use it, I'm now going to google Chav to see if I tick all the boxes Wine

Oh, Cody was on my list as one of the only two myself and DH agreed on. Might re-think it now as well! Sad

I know a coby. I prefer that.

I like it but just realised the only one I know is a girl!(from the uk)

The name reminds me of my childhood,watching the rescuers down under. Smile

It's not to my taste, but if you like it why not?

It's very bad mannered to describe a name as chavvy, IMO.

Poor op Grin. It can be brutal in the sweet, gentle topic of baby names.

Noah is nice Smile, and Darcy.
