Hate it, tacky and very American, not in a good way. I can imaging it being one of the nes screeched in supermarkets by parents.

YouMakeMyDreams · 08/12/2015 22:16

There will always be people that hate any name you choose. In the real world most people won't care.
I know a Cody and he's a lovely wee boy.

Tacky? Hmm I feel like it goes well with Darcy - I call her Darce a lot and would probably call him Code... Blush I can't really shorten Noah! (I love it though)

I like it. Its not chavvy.

CiderwithBuda · 08/12/2015 22:19

I like it. With an 'ie' for a girl. But we used it for our dog - sorry! She is a lovely yellow lab. Smile

I like it, it was on my list for a boy!

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 09/12/2015 00:13

I like it, but then I love cool American names (both DSs have names more popular in the US)

Raines100 · 09/12/2015 06:45

I like it. And I don't think it's ever been popular enough in the UK to be assigned to a class, so no, not chavvy. Go for it.

LineyReborn · 09/12/2015 06:49

I like it, too.

But I also like Noah. Smile

VulcanWoman · 09/12/2015 07:12

I like it. Not many about either.

WeThreeMythicalKings · 09/12/2015 07:15

A girl in Neighbours years ago or an American cowboy. Not very keen.

BikeRunSki · 09/12/2015 07:16

I know a couple, both around 7-8. I quite like it. One has a twin called Cole.

sambucus2 · 09/12/2015 07:24

Looks good in leather.

swampytiggaa · 09/12/2015 07:29

I don't like it sorry - mainly because I know a real pita kid with the name. Mind you his parents have misspelt it which makes my teeth itch and me dislike it even more!

ScarlettDarling · 09/12/2015 07:32

Noah is lovely. Personally I'm not keen on Cody. I've taught a boy Cody and a friend has a girl Cody...neither are at all chavvy! But I don't like the name, sorry.

TheDowagerCuntess · 09/12/2015 07:34

It is very American. To me, it's a very 90s name, so quite dated. It lacks substance.

Those are just my top of head thoughts, as a faceless random, off t'internet. If you like it, go for it.

DandyDan · 09/12/2015 07:50

Buffalo Bill's name was William Cody.
And then there was (female) Cody Willis in Neighbours.

Sophronia · 09/12/2015 09:13

It's a bit 80s/90s American, but I'd rather see it than Noah, which seems to be mentioned on every other post on these boards at the moment...

SanityClause · 09/12/2015 09:52

Noah is very popular, so will quickly become dated.

There was a very handsome Cody in my sixth form, so it has positive associations for me, although it's not a name I would choose.

If you and DH like it, go for it. We're just a load of randommers on the Internet! Wink

fanjodisfunction · 09/12/2015 09:58

I like it, its not offensive, doesn't remind me of serial killers or bad people.

I think it's a nice name, go for it op. I prefer it to Noah, but that's because I don't really like bibilical names.

smartyclogs · 09/12/2015 10:33

Jody? Too feminine?

celtictoast · 09/12/2015 10:51

I don't like it, sorry. It reminds me of codes, colds, codeine.

MonsterDeCookie · 09/12/2015 11:51

It's very American and is a common dog name as well. But if ends up a judge in Montana he's sorted. It's a name you'd find more in the Western US in places like Utah or California. It's in the same vein as Wyatt, Logan, Hunter etc. It would see a bit strange on a Brit.
