<p>Cody is an Irish/Gaelic name.
Not an Americun name.</p>
<p>Ah, yes! Someone who shares my dislike of children! :)</p>
<p>Heinrich eez not frooty</p>
<p>@ Romani
Now that I think about it there are no American names. Most “American” names are English, Scottish or Irish origin.</p>
<p>^ Sorry, that was my point. I should have made that more clear lol.</p>
<p>Oh, and about the gift shops that sell personalized key chains and pencils and backpacks and such…my name was never on them anyway. :(</p>
<p>Mine either 
and I have a pretty common name. But it was always there with an “i” in it or a -lyn attached.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Shaquille? And what’s the origin of the kid that was named after Man U’s entire starting XI?</p>
<p>I’ve always thought that misspelling names was a rather American thing to do.</p>
<p>^ I was thinking of names like William, James, Charles etc. lol</p>
<p>I don’t know about the kid named after Man U’s starting XI.</p>
<p>Yeah, speaking of those darn gift shop key chains, never in my life have I found one with my name on it. The closest thing I’ve come across is “Lily.” Boo :(</p>
<p>My name’s on surprisingly few of those key chain things. I mean I’m named after one of the apostles, what more can they ****ing want?</p>
<p>At the Fairmont in SF on the little license plate keychains they had “Kodie” and “Kody” but not “Cody.” What the hell.</p>
<p>TCBH, I see your name all the time. (It’s my cousin’s name, so I’m used to looking for it.)</p>
<p>Hmm, it just feels like it’s less popular than most would expect. Apparently the popularity peaked several decades ago.</p>
<p>Bartholomew? 
romani, are you by any chance named Mary, in that case lol?</p>
<p>^ Erm… no. Lol.</p>
<p>TCBH not all of the apostles have common names. For example I do not know (and have no facebook friends) called Thaddius, Judas or Bartholomew</p>
<p>TCBH has a common name.</p>
<p>Surprisingly, it’s ranked only around 150 on the top “baby male names in the us”.</p>
<p>^ Really? That surprises me.
Although, I guess it’s fallen out of popularity in the last decade :/</p>
