Girls named Jodie are lucky because it's not a really common name and it's easy to spell and pronounce and it sounds nice plus the name Jodie isn't associated with anything bad.
A 70s name. It came out of nowhere, peaked in the 70s, and was abandoned. It's not ugly, but I wouldn't know what to do with it. I prefer classic names.

It's so cute. I think it ages well and would fit a little girl perfectly!
I've always loved the name Jodie. I think it's simple yet beautiful and sweet at the same time. It's also one of those names that I can see “matching” many different personalities. For example, I can see a Jodie as a tomboy, a girly girl, an athletic girl, daredevil, gamer, etc. Plus, I love the meaning, “Woman from Judea”. Overall, I think Jodie is a wonderful name.
Unless it is strictly a nickname, I personally have no favor for the name "Jodie." Beside the fact that I feel that it is infantile, the "D" in the center (in this case) morphs it harshly."Judy," on the other hand, I am quite fond of.
I prefer this spelling to Jody, as the name looks more feminine this way. The name could sound quite youthful to me, but I've learned to associate it with Jodie Foster, who is known for being intelligent, and the character Jodie from Daria, who is also intelligent, so it doesn't strike me as a ditzy, girly name despite the youthful sound. However, it's specifically Jodie Foster who has ruined this name for me, as she's a Mel Gibson apologist.
My name is Jodie and I really enjoy it. When I was younger, I used to wish my name was something fancy and more commonly used like Brianna or something. I wanted something with a better 'tongue feel'. Now I have learned to treasure it. I found out that it means "praised" and I am beginning to live up to this. It really does grow on you. All you Jodies, be proud and hold your head high!
