What nonsense.
I would never name a child this. Maybe a pet or a character in a story.
It reminds me of ‘Moody's Point’, a sketch on “The Amanda Show” where Amanda Bynes played a girl named Moody.

I wonder if she'd get called Moody Blues.
I'm kind of ok with it?
As in, I think I'd rather be Waverly, Saturnina, Stormy, Pansy, Misty, Blue, Marley, Temperance, Dolores, but it wouldn't bother me to have as a name more than Harper, Tempest, Maudlin, Paisley, Caprice, Lacey, Vanity, Modesty, Mourning, Fawn would, and I don't hate it the way I do my least favorite names (for example, Ainsley, Frankie, Khaki, Dixie, Tyranny). I'd go through a phase of resenting it (this seems somewhat common with whatever name) and then get over it; I'd tell people to call me Mo or my middle name or else I'd embrace it and be chill about being called Moody.
It's not a name I'd consider giving.

As a moody person, I dislike it as a name. I know that Moody is a surname but if Pretty were a surname, I wouldn't name a daughter that either. Moody in particular is a negative word.
It could be a charming pet name (within the family), maybe for Margaret.
Actually, I kind of look it as a stretch NN for Margaret,
Yeah, like others have implied, it seems a heavy name to bear for a kid.
To me, it would be the equivalent to Misery, Melancholy or Despair.

it's bad for a girl or a boy ...
It's like naming someone Grumpy or Grouchy.
In fact, it sounds like it ought to have been one of the Seven Dwarfs.

Seems like one of the worst surnames-as-first-names.
Worse on a girl, since they are more likely to be criticized for "moodiness."
I think it has no appeal whatsoever, except maybe as a joke pseud.
If I heard the sound "moody" as some gal's name, I would strongly tend to assume that it is a foreign name, or short for one, like when I hear someone's name sounds like Harsh or Loose ... I would disbelieve that she could actually have been named Moody. Because Moody would be that bad as a name.

All I will say is...
"be very careful what you wish for".
Naming a child Moody may encourage a self fulfilling prophecy.

It's a bad idea. Try Caprice, it at least has a nice sound.
Awful. WHy would you do that to your child???
I want to be nice, but this is truly awful. Imagine being named Emotional, Capricious, Sulky, Gloomy, Sour or Doleful? I get that Moody has origins as a surname apart from being a word for a grumpy person, but one must remember that a child is a human being, not a pet. The sound of the name itself is quite distasteful. Why not Judy, Maddy or Trudy?
Terrible
