For a girl.

Jodie I think, perhaps, has an overly 80's vibe to it. But I like the sound, so Jody?

What do you reckon? Too dated, or ready to be "fresh" again? It's not like there'll be many in her class at school.

My neice is Jodie. She is 11.

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.

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

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

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.

It's way too outdated, IMO.

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.
