I think you should have a more formal version of it for when she wants to have some gravitas. Josephine? Judith?

Jodie was the name of the demonic pig in the Exorcist, by the way.

It's way too outdated, IMO.

The youngest Jodie I know is 17 but I'd expect most Jodies to be older than that. It is a bit dated.

I do quite like Jody on a boy though.

I love Jodie for a girl OP.
It is the nick name of my niece, Jordanna.

I'm not so sure about Jodie
How about Joely?

I like the name Jodie, I only know one (from when I was in primary school in the 80s) but she was lovely so it gives me nice memories of the name.

My neice is Jodie. She is 11.

I know a 12yo Jodie, so there are young ones around.

I know an 8 yr old Jodie. I like the name but wouldn't use it, mainly because it reminds me of a child I went to school with.

If I had to use the name I'd spell it Jodhi.

It doesn't need an H in it!

Wouldn't have ever thought if it but actually quite like it. I'd spell it Jody

I like Jodie. Josie is also nice.

I really like Jodie for a girl (not Jody)

I used to work with a guy called Jody, so I would go with Jodie for a girl. It might not be 'hip' or 'popular', but I think it's a nice name.

Jody is a boy's name.

Jolie ( it means pretty in French)

Jodie always puts me in mind of the vulgar Spanish verb "joder"...

It is nice but extremely dated, all the ones I know are born in the 80s or 90s.

I prefer Jodie. If it's spelt Jody I think she'd spend all her life having to say 'Oh, no it's spelt J-O-D-Y'. Plus Jody could be pronounced by some people as Joddy.

My sister is Jodie she is 40. I do like the name but I like my sister so might be biased.

Nice name. Taught the most lovely girl called Jodie many years ago.

I'd think boy if I saw the spelling Jody though and actually prefer the 'ie' ending as it seems softer to me!

I've only met male Jodys, I'd use Jodie for a girl.

I think Jodie (that spelling) is very nice.

I really like it.

It is dated in that it was very popular in the 80's/90's and not so much since. But then, if you'd asked 10 years ago about all the Mabel/Elsie/Evie/Violet old lady names that are super popular now, you'd have got the same response.

It's an easy to say and spell, pretty name that everyone has heard of, but is really underused at the moment. I think it's great.

I would use Jodie because I'm pretty sure Jody is the male spelling.
