Thoughts? DH thinks dated but I'm really liking it at the moment...

Personally I find it quite dated too. Josie is similar and feels fresher

ImGoingThroughChanges · 06/08/2023 20:56

It’s cute.

TeaKitten · 06/08/2023 20:56

It’s quite dated. Is it for a girl or a boy?

CandyKittensLover · 06/08/2023 20:57

For a girl 🙂

I like it, but as short for something.

salamithumbs · 06/08/2023 21:01

I also find it quite dated and prefer Josie! Or maybe something like Sadie?

Neverseenbefore · 06/08/2023 21:04

Judy?

jazzyjane565 · 06/08/2023 21:04

It is quite 90s but I like it. Also like Josie.

PurpleChrayne · 06/08/2023 21:07

I like it spelled Jodhi.

It does feel a bit dated, but most names come back into fashion sooner or later. I'd briefly think "oh, you don't hear that much for babies just now, it is very nice though" and that would be that.

It sounds like the off-spring of a west country agricultural worker.

Mouthfulofquiz · 06/08/2023 21:10

It’s very much a 1980s baby name.

drpet49 · 06/08/2023 21:11

Dated and chavvy

Ketzele · 06/08/2023 21:12

I really like it! Also Josie.

Sittingonasale · 06/08/2023 21:15

No, but only because it reminds me of my recent ex neighbour in her 50s. Entitled, childish so and so with 5 cars and thought she park one of them permanently in front of my house. 😡

IAmKenough · 06/08/2023 21:27

Going against the grain here but I think it's cooler than Josie. Jodie sounds like someone you'd want to be friends with.

Completely agree! Josie is so meh to me. Jodie is much cooler!

ZeldaWillTellYourFortune · 07/08/2023 03:07

Josephine and call her Jodi.

My uni flatmate born 1962 was called Jodi; it's not a modern name.

jods19 · 07/08/2023 03:17

Hey that's mine name 👋 cool kids 😺

I love my name as it's not something you hear of every day, I know very and I mean very limited people with the same name as me

passthesugar · 07/08/2023 03:38

My best friend growing up was Jodie and yes, it was the 80s. But still a cool name and definitely underused

continentallentil · 07/08/2023 09:46

It’s very 90s but mainly I just don’t like it - IMO it’s kind of ugly and has no history as a full name

It’s OK as a nn for Joanna or Josephine though, so maybe do that so she has options

MoonLion · 07/08/2023 09:47

I really like it (prefer it to Josie).

CommaChameleon7 · 07/08/2023 09:50

I really like it

Somanycats · 07/08/2023 09:53

I like it and it has never been well enough used to belong to a particular era.

Blossomandbee · 07/08/2023 09:58

It's a little dated but if I heard it I would think it's nice to hear an unusual name.
I've known a few Jodie's over the years and they've all been really nice, funny people.
