Help[Opinions] Re: Cody...wdyt?
in reply to a message by OceanStar719
My impression is that it sounds cutely, theatrically butch. That's part of the image of most surname names to me, Cody being one of the defining names of the whole trend.
I mean, it's not really bad, it doesn't give me a really "bad" impression. But my image of Cody is not a grown, urban, sober, modest, college educated, conformist man who securely possesses any of what's usually considered social status in urban life. It just sounds sort of stylized and "fancy" to me; it has an image that glorifies and overstates a playful, boyish, tough, vain masculinity (reminiscent of, say, a country-western singer).
Just one perspective. I hope it makes sense.
