Don't like Cody at all.

Benjamin is ok, but I find Ben a little boring/common.

mopsyflopsy · 17/07/2009 15:24

I don't like Cody either, I'm afraid.

Nancy66 · 17/07/2009 15:27

other way around would be better. Not keen on Cody.

annasmami · 17/07/2009 15:33

I don't really like Cody.

Ben(jamin) is nice but will inevitably be shortened to Ben - so depends if you like that.

MamaLazarou · 17/07/2009 15:59

I don't like Cody at all.

Ben is nice, if a little common.

Greensleeves · 17/07/2009 16:00

I think it's lovely

I know a gorgeous little Cody

southeastastra · 17/07/2009 16:01

i love cody but i like americano names.

twoluvlykids · 17/07/2009 16:01

No to Cody - all the Cody's I know are horrible teenagers!

hulabula · 17/07/2009 16:10

Cody is awful.

Ben is ok but boring/dull.

Sorry to be so blunt, but you did ask for our (honest) opinions .

SoupDragon · 17/07/2009 16:11

Cody is awful.

MadameCastafiore · 17/07/2009 16:12

Cody sounds like an STD.

Please give your child a proper name!

4andnotout · 17/07/2009 16:14

I like Cody my friend has a lovely ds with that name although we had planned on naming any forthcoming ds's Kobe but we had to shelve that plan as it is too similar.

Friends ds is Cody Jack by the way

PuppyMonkey · 17/07/2009 16:15

Don't think it sounds like an STD but Cody does sound like someone from a crap 1980s kids' film.

anamaria22 · 17/07/2009 18:09

Cody reminds me of Codeine... not sure I like it...

jellybeans · 18/07/2009 12:35

Cody is OK, I like Ben but not Benjamin.
I know one who gets 'Benji'.

What about Corey?

Frasersmum123 · 18/07/2009 16:08

I like Cody but the only Cody I know is a girl. I dont know why but Cody Benjamin sounds like a child spy?

tearinghairout · 18/07/2009 16:19

Cody does sound as if it's stuck in the 80s, like a US version of Kevin.Benjamin is nice, classic. There are so many beautiful names to choose.. Sorry, I don't like Cody. But if you do, go for it!

KristinaM · 18/07/2009 16:20

not cody

benjamin ok

differentID · 18/07/2009 16:22

Benjamin is lovely- Cody is the name of the local nightclub locally that is mainly used by the local shits.

cookielove · 18/07/2009 16:36

isn't the child spy cody banks which is prob where your getting the link,

I personally like Cody, and i really like Benjamin, and i know people say it may get shortened but i think if you make it clear that you want to keep it as Benjamin then it won't be an issue. As i have previous experience of parents who have wanted to keep the names full e.g Alexander instead of Alex, and James instead of Jamie, i currently have a room with all those names in
