Also good to know no one else likes it 😂😂🙈

My name is Kodie. Dont do it. Use the more common spelling of Cody.. the poor bugger will spend their whole life correcting people

CrocodileClips · 08/06/2019 16:13

Ezra or Cody. Definitely not Jesse.

EdWinchester · 08/06/2019 14:18

I like Ezra - but I know 2 so am biased.

Don't like any of the others. Cody/Kodie - very bad indeed.

Divgirl2 · 08/06/2019 14:15

Ezra or Jesse would be my pick of them. I dislike the others.

It is worth noting that there are currently so many people trying to be "unique" with their naming that Kash and Kodie will stand out a lot less than Nicholas or Simon.

Thanks for the comments ladies. I like the honesty 🤣 I don’t want a common boring name for my boy though I’d much rather someone unusual and unique !! Any more ideas I’m welcome to.

Jesse or Ezra. Both lovely names. Ezra seems quite popular where I live in London but you don't come across many Jesse's.

FartnissEverbeans · 08/06/2019 13:47

Ezra is a beautiful Biblical name. I think it’s top 100 this year but still very uncommon (perhaps more common in certain pockets). I loved it for my son, but we ended up with a similar name.

Cody and Jesse are both quite nice names too.

MoreCookiesPlease · 08/06/2019 13:44

Hmm... Any others, OP? Confused

Shadow1234 · 08/06/2019 13:40

I tend to prefer the more unusual names myself, (although I don't think your list is too unusual, with the exception of one - Harlan).

Never heard of Harlan before but really like it - although I think Lenny as a nn would be a bit of a stretch.

Cody I would spell with a 'C' doesn't look right to me with the 'K'

If I had to choose, I would go for Harlan or Cody

boughtnotbrought · 08/06/2019 13:38

Ramsey would be my pick of those

Awrite · 08/06/2019 13:37

Cody is quite popular.

The rest are a bit 'out there'. I don't hate them but I'm not keen.

itssquidstella · 08/06/2019 13:36

Of your list, I like:

Cody (definitely not Kodie)
Ezra
Jesse
Cash (not Kash)

If you like the nickname Lennie then call your son Leonard

Astronica · 08/06/2019 13:35

Not keen on any but I think Ramsay is the best.

Huggybear16 · 08/06/2019 13:33

Not a fan of any of those OP. Do you have any others?

NameChangerAmI · 08/06/2019 13:33

Harlen reminds me of Haven Grin.

They're all awful imo, OP, but who am I?

meow1989 · 08/06/2019 13:31

Ezra and Jesse are quite common where I live. The others I'm not such a fan of. Kodie in particular doesn't look right written down imo.

SeaViewBliss · 08/06/2019 13:31

I like Cash but somehow not keen on it with a K. I also like Jesse.

MikeUniformMike · 08/06/2019 13:28

I don't like any of them.
