Jody Awesome name why? because its my name! Jody I was born in England and my mom named all of unborn children names that could be male or female before we were born. Everyone assumes because I'm female it is spelled with an i or ie. It makes me crazy! I have a brother named Laurie too! She may as well have named him Sue!
