BRODY
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Irish, English
Pronounced: BRO-dee [key]
From a surname which was originally derived from a place name meaning "ditch" in Gaelic.
Brody is the number 70 name for the year 2008 on the US's SS list. Brody first appears on the SS list in 1976 at the number 980 spot. Brody stayed pretty low on the list during the late 70s and early 80s, and was even absent from the list in the years: 1977-78, and again in 1982-83. Brody didn't make it to the top 100 until 2008, sufing pretty low from number 612 in 1992 till 2007 when it made the number 105 spot. Brody's jump was significant within the last five years.
I personally think that Brody is a very nice masculine name. It's modern and yet familar. Brody has a certain appeal to it that has the same feel to it as Logan, Nolan, Wesley, and Owen. A bit spunky, a bit laid back and "down home". It's certainly reminds me of being a bit Southern in feel as well. There is a style to Brody that is very flexable and versitle. I can imagine this name on an infant as well as a toddler, a tween, teen and adult...and even a little old man. It's a wonderfully full sounding name, yet retains a kind of nickname-ish feel to it that's not too formal.
Brody is a great laid back name for someone looking to completement their easy-going out look on life. It's a very Earthy name as well to me. It's not too "hippie" yet not so preppy you picture the little tyke wearing baby Ralph Lauren.
I can definately see Brody gaining in popularity even further over the next 3-5 yrs, and I'm not sure if I like that idea at all! There are some names that are unique and wonderfully origional and you never want to see them become cliche. I do feel Brody will be one of these flash in the pan names for some namers. For true lovers of this name however, it will be treasured for the brilliant handsome name that it is, and will see it's potential as a true classic name, and not a fad.
Middles/First for Brody are so easy to find, pair and love that it's impossible to list all the name I find fantastic with Brody. I will try to break them down into categories to make it much easier.

Brock
Broden
Broderick
Brogan
Bronson
Brooks
Bruce
Byron
Burton
I quite love the names Broden, Brogan, Bronson and Byron. I find them a bit modern feeling with a bit of the same Gaelic feel of Brody. Broden espcailly sounds like the more grown up version of Brody. Broden would make a wonderful proper name with Brody as a nickname. Brogan as well is a great name with a rich full masculine feel to it. I like Bronson and Byron because they sound very cultured and refined. A tiny bit more "country club" than the other names.

Overall I find Brody to be a wonderfully delightful name. I do see the down side of this name though as it becomes steadily popular, thus perhaps it might lose it's sparkle. I still hold hard onto this name as one of the cutest names to hit the name scene since the Logan, Owen, Hunter, Mason 'phase'. Here's hoping it's just a fluke and it stays in the uppper 100s for years to come, making it a great choice and an uncommon (but fabulous) name to see.
