Jodie is a first name for girls, occasionally also given to boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Jodie is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 girls have been named Jodie. In the SmartGenius ranking, Jodie is #3,432 on the list of most common girls names. In the entire USA, approximately 24,389 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Jodie. That is 0.01 % of all living Americans.
Everyone knows her, everyone loves her and still she’s different from the mainstream: Jodie occurs in every single state of the U.S. This may sound quite unspectacular at first, but in fact, of the more than 50,000 different female first names that occur in the USA, just 537 are recorded in each individual state, so the name Jodie is definitely something very special. However, at the same time, since the name does not appear in the top 100 most common first names in any single state, Jodie is not one of those names that one encounters in every neighbourhood, but stands out from the crowd, is noticeable and special without being strange or unknown. From Alaska to Florida, a total of 23,443 women and girls of all generations bear the name Jodie – that is one in 6,576. However, there are considerable regional differences – the name is far more popular than average in Utah, where one in 2,556 women and girls is called Jodie, while it is particularly rare in Nevada, where you have to ask an average of 89,337 women for their name to get Jodie as an answer once.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter J is a particularly popular initial letter for girls' names. That’s because 6.8% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A, S and M.
With five letters, the name Jodie is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
This means that with 6.8% of all girls' names that begin with the letter J, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. And Jennifer is the girls' name starting with J, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Jodie and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
