OP didn't ask for opinions on the name ...she asked for opinions on how to spell it.

From that site:

The boy's name Baldie \b(a)-ldie, bal-die\ is of Scottish origin. Pet form of Archibald.

Yep, it's of Scottish origin alright. Scottish for got no hair. Poor wee American Baldies

Tsk tsk, there's a bit of snobbery going on here. Each to their own and all that.
Spell it Brodie for a girl, op!

Brodie is one of my faves for my #2 baby, i'd go with that one too, think the "ie" ending is more feminine! Congratulations!!
