Dodie — girls' name

What the Data Says About Dodie

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,258 babies named Dodie between 1920 and 1987, spanning 68 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Dodie currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1987. The name reached its historical peak in 1971, when 89 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Dodie performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 464 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Dodie shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 61 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Louisiana. In total, SSA state-level files list Dodie in 10 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Dodie in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 1,258 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
