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

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.

Whaaaa I have a Cody, I really shouldn't read anymore.

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

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

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 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!
