It's fine to like boys' names on girls, but you have to think about how it's going to make THEM feel when they're older. I'm constantly mistaken for a boy with my short hair (although I don't look at all like a boy...people just don't look), even AFTER people hear my name: Lindsay. Granted, it's unisex, but it's much much much more common on girls. If your daughter has short hair someday, and a name like Dannie Jo, Codi, Stevie, etc. she is CONSTANTLY going to get mistaken for a boy. And trust me, no matter how comfortable you are, or how open minded you are about gender (hell, I'm even a lesbian), it's really really really annoying. Plus, boys names on girls sound really really childish. They do. I have a very difficult time picturing an adult named Codi or Stevie. I could see these working as NICKNAMES, but not as given names. For example, Joey, Charlie, and Harry on girls are all really cute, but only as nicknames for Josephine/Jocelyn/Joanna, Charlotte, and Harriet. Danielle, Stephanie, and...well, I can't think of one for Codi off the top of my head, but give me a minute, could work, but it gives her the option of going by something more feminine -- OR by the nickname -- instead of forcing something on her that (a) she's more likely to hate than just any old girls' name, and (b) she's going to outgrow and look ridiculous with when she's 30 or 40 years old.

I think Codi is a cute name for Cordelia.
