Codie for a girl?

[lenaelizabeth93]

I’ve been thinking of girl names and I’ve fallen in love with Codie. My close friend however said it was mainly for boys. Opinions?

[RAOK]

We loved Cody in Neighbours! Kadie is better.

[Roselilly36]

There are so many lovely girls names, Cody isn’t one of them.

[AnFiadhRua]

I don't like it. It reminds me of codeine.

Cody for a boy seems ok - but not liking it for a girl at all.

As a nn it'd be better. Cora D_

First thought it reminded me of Covid.

[MadeOfStarStuff]

Awful

Not a fan of Cody for a boy but really hate it for a girl

[user1493494961]

Awful.

[GucciBear]

Horrid name! Whatever the gender or spelling. Really downmarket.

Wasn't there an AIBU thread over the summer started by a mother hugely offended that her teenage daughter had shunned her given name and was demanding to be called Rose?

Turns out she'd saddled the poor girl with the name Kody and everyone agreed that she was absolutely right to start calling herself Rose.

[Wolfiefan]

Awful.

I know of a girl Codhi, but I can't say I like it

[ilovemykids5]

I've heard Kadie for a girl.

[IamnotwhouthinkIam]

It's not horrible, but it's not my taste personally. Also bear in mind Cody for boys is pretty popular now (ranked no 129 and rising) where as Codie for girls is quite rare in comparison as pp noted, so I'd consider the potential confusion there too (if someone just heard the name, rather than seeing it written down).

[nocoolnamesleft]

I've known a fair few boys called Cody (and variants), but no girls. If I heard the name Codie I would definitely assume he was a boy.

[BubbleCoffee]

It sounds like an adjective for a computer programmer. They're very code-y.

[kitcat15]

Really awful for either...don't do it, you will regret it

[DramaAlpaca]

No, not good.

[DebbieHarrysCheekbones]

Awful

[TrashyPanda]

Cody for a boy is just about passable.

Codie for a girl is really bad. It looks like Code, only misspelt

[starrynight21]

The only one I know is a boy and he is Kody.

[Luredbyapomegranate]

Ah, no - it's downmarket and made up.

[TheWomandestroyed]

I really don't like it, actually dislike it a lot.

[fluffythedragonslayer]

I love Codie for a girl!!

Cody is mainly used for boys, but in the early 2000s, the Codie spelling was used for more girls than boys, though that's now changed as the name has decreased in popularity. There were still significantly more male Cody/Codies than females to the extent that I think most people would see it as a boys name rather than unisex.

There was an Am I Being Unreasonable a few months ago where the OP's daughter hated the name Kody as she felt it was too masculine and wanted to change it to Rose.

[TracyBeakerSoYeah]
