Ody is a very rare first name!

You won't believe all there is 
to discover about the name
 
Ody

Ody has 3 letters 
and begins with an O

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter O is quite rare as an initial letter for first names: only 1.5% of all common given names in the US begin with an O, which means that this initial occurs less than half as often as the other letters on average. Nevertheless, O is by no means the rarest initial. While A, J and K are the most common first letters of given names, U, X and Q are the least common initials of first names.

With only three letters, the name Ody is obviously very short. In fact, only 1.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly three letters. Just 0.2% of all first names are even shorter and only have two letters, while nearly 99% of all boys’ and girls’ names use more than three 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.

Now do the math: Since 1.5% of all first names begin with an O, this initial occurs less than half as often as the other letters on average.

Other names with 
O, d and y

If you take all the letters in the name Ody – O, d and y – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Doy or Oyd.
