This name experienced a brief stint in popularity in the heyday of William “Buffalo Bill” Cody and then a massive spike in the 90s. Like Shane, this Western-reminiscent name is still widely known, but not used as often as it once was. I think Cody makes for a nice choice for people looking for something familiar, yet not as irritatingly popular.

I've loved this name since I heard it on Cody Simpson several years ago. I think this is a perfect name for a boy. I'm surprised this name isn't more popular because of the show The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
