Reply to: Re: Jody for a boy by Jody

My given name is Joan (pronounced like Jo Ann) but I acquired the nickname, Jody, in my childhood. I never had a middle name, so it looked like I was named for the movie star. I now use my maiden name Crawford just as middle initial "C". I always thought Jody was the earlier version of spelling, more recently updated to Jodi or Jodie for girls, and Jody for boys. But I really like my name, and most people think it is my "real" name. I do agree it is fine for a boy, also, though. There was a young movie star, years ago, that played in a movie of "The Yearling", and the character's name was Jody.
