What do you think of the name Jodie/Jody for a girl? I think it's pretty and sweet.
Also it is a derivative of Judith/Judy so it is also a Hebrew name, as a girl I knew from school named Jodie has the Hebrew name Judith (female form of Judah/Yehudah)

It is slang for a male civilian whom military wives cheat with, so I wouldn't use it.

Yes, and in those days, Emily and Max and Ben and all of those uber-common names of today were unheard of, or were your elderly uncle and aunt.
Old names make comebacks.

One of my best friends has this name so I have positive associations. I think it's so sweet.

I love that this name although I do agree that it doesn’t have a Jewish ring to it

I dont think Max and Ben are still used. Emily is not uber popular either - Amelia maybe. But people should be able to use whatever they like assuming it is not offensive (I.e. fowl language etc )

All those names are actually trendy again. I work in a public school and can't begin to count how many kids named Max, Ben, and Amelia I've worked with. Including just this year. Plenty of Emily's too! The very trendiest and latest is using a last name as a first name, for both girls and boys.
Now I don't think I've had any students named Jody/Jodie but I wouldn't think it's quite as dated as a name like Jennifer or Jessica.

I like Jodie; I think it sounds so cute. Sounds Jewish to me also - as you said it’s derived from Judith/Yehudis.

According to the SSA, Benjamin is the 6th most popular name for boys in the US. Max is 89 -- above David.
In any case, the point is that names cycle.

So true.
Who would have ever thought that the names Silas or Sadie would make a comeback?? I've come across more than a few at work!
