The more I say it, the more I like it.
I think it's lovely and I like it as it's not in the top 200, some opinions when I've sounded it out have been quite negative, Jodie Marsh, chavy etc..

Mn opinions please...

I think Jody for a boy is very cool.

Jodie is nice but maybe needs a few years to mellow into its own.

I just think Kelly ripa is so glam! Makes me like Kelly.

Jody is much nicer than judy!

burgatroyd · 11/01/2015 17:03

There are several in dcs year! Well, the mums anyway. All nice women so have good associations. I do, however, prefer Judy.

GotToBeInItToWinIt · 11/01/2015 16:52

Ooh no shake Kelly is awful.

maggiethemagpie · 11/01/2015 16:14

My friend called her baby Jodie. I can't say I was that keen on it. It does sound a bit dated to my ears.

shakemysilliesout · 11/01/2015 14:51

I'd rather a Jodie/ Kelly revival than a Pamela and Barbara revival. Because jodie is 80s it seems more fun to me than Ethel and Mavis.

Alisvolatpropiis · 11/01/2015 09:55

It's terribly dated.

Violettatrump · 11/01/2015 07:50

It's of an era like Joanne.

Violettatrump · 11/01/2015 07:49

Not keen on Jodie but Josie is lovely and short for Josephine.

rockinrobintweet · 10/01/2015 23:25

haven't heard of a Jodie since school. gorgeous name- go for it!

Penguito · 10/01/2015 22:39

DS has 2 Jodie's in his nursery class!

Pixa · 10/01/2015 22:28

I like it, but then I would. Wink

flowerbum · 10/01/2015 22:22

My best pal at school was jodie, a beautiful person inside and out. I think it's due a revival!

manicinsomniac · 10/01/2015 21:38

I like it. And I don't know any younger than mid 20s so it will be nice and original.

johendy · 10/01/2015 21:19

I really like it. What about Jody?

Mintyy · 10/01/2015 19:33

I think it's a lovely name and I immediately thought of the wonderful Jodie Foster (not Jodie Marsh) when I saw it in your thread title.

Sophronia · 10/01/2015 19:30

It's my cousin's name, she's 14. I'm not particularly keen on it but it's very sweet on her.

Jeggie · 10/01/2015 16:43

Great name!

DramaAlpaca · 10/01/2015 16:33

I was at school with one I couldn't stand so it has negative connotations for me. That aside, it's quite a nice name.

EmpressOfJurisfiction · 10/01/2015 16:31

Jodie Foster! Yes, great name.

EeekNumber4 · 10/01/2015 16:29

I know lots of Jodie's in their mid thirties so it's a very 70's/80's name to me.

cupofsneeze · 10/01/2015 16:05

I really like it but i'm another one who thinks names like Margaret/Mabel and Ethel are awful even though they are very popular locally.

callamia · 10/01/2015 15:18

I knew a few in the 80s too - I think of it as quite an 80s name. It is quite sweet, but I'm not sure it's quite ready for a return yet. Having said that, Jodie Kidd wears it well - so maybe I'm talking nonsense.

KoalaDownUnder · 10/01/2015 15:05

No. Jodie is pure 70s/80s to me, and not in a good way. Sisters would be Tammy and Kelly.

CaptainAnkles · 10/01/2015 15:02

I think it's rather sweet and not at all common nowadays.
