Ive never seen the ie spelling. I know two girls called Cody.

Codie is a girls name, Cody is a boys name.

I can only think of Miss Jean Brodie.

All the Codys I know are girls.

So I don't want to be rude, but neither, sorry.

cody
however cody is a kids name... i find it hard to picture adult cody...
brodie is a more life long name imo, and it reminds me of brodie from that tv show (not helpful at all sorry) so that's cool... i just don't much like it

Well, if we're talking about likes and dislikes... I don't like either.

But if I had to choose one I'd go with Cody.

I like both. I think Cody is slightly more American, which I like!

Brodie by miles - love the name. It's traditionally a male name, originating in Moray in Scotland.

Neither is to my taste, but Brodie is ok, I know a little one and it's grown on me.

If it helps, I would agree that it's more a boys' name but you can't just stamp your feet and argue that it's not unisex when there are clearly lots of examples of female Brodies!

Oh NavyandWhite and hoddtastic you'll be told you're being goady and unhelpful - not allowed to say neither as I did earlier in the thread.

To me, they're both unisex. I know a couple of girl Brodies (one late teens one early twenties) and only one boy Brodie (toddler). Not that it really matters.
I think I prefer Brodie, just slightly, Although it doesn't look good written down imo.

PaulineFowler- I though Brody Dalle too. Not a bad person to be named after at all! I actually really like Brody for both genders.

I prefer Cody over Brodie. But I see Cody as a girls name. I know male and female Brodies. I prefer Corey but you didn't ask that!

Brodie just because it sounds more British to me while Cody sounds more American.
