Jody
About Jody
One of the cute and bouncy nicknames so popular in the 1960s and 70s, but that hasn't made a comeback in the way Eames chairs and miniskirts have. Think of it as one of the original but now old-school unisex names starting with J, ala Jamie and Jessie.
Pronounced JO-dee.
As of October 2026, Jody ranked #6968 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #153 in 1970.
Editor's take: The name Jody is a girl's name.
