Jodi across 5 official records

Each registrar publishes its own list, so these figures are read down a row, never across one. A position in one country is not comparable with a position in another, and Namewise never combines them into a single ranking. The birth counts do not compare across rows either, for a different reason: England and Wales registers roughly thirty times as many births a year as Northern Ireland, so a larger total says which registrar recorded it as much as how widely the name was given.

Jodi by decade in Republic of Ireland · Girls

Births registered with the name in each decade of this one list, with the number of years the list covers in that decade. Bars are scaled on births a year, which is the figure that compares between decades — a decade the list only partly covers has a smaller total without being a quieter decade. Figures belong to this registrar alone and do not carry to another.

Where Jodi is officially recorded

5 official registrars have recorded Jodi, between 1967 and 2020, in 40 of those 54 years. Each registrar publishes for its own population on its own methodology, so the positions below are each one country's own ranking and are not comparable with one another.

Registrar	Recorded	Years	Its own highest position
New South Wales, Australia	1967–1980	9	#78 in 1973
New Zealand	1976	1	#97 in 1976
Republic of Ireland	1985–2018	26	#257 in 2004
England and Wales	1996–2020	24	#362 in 1997
Northern Ireland	1999–2018	15	#166 in 2003

Its high point came 31 years earlier in New South Wales, Australia (1973) than in Republic of Ireland (2004).

No registrar recorded it for 4 years after 1980; it appears again in 1985.

What the record shows

Recorded by 5 registrars between 1967 and 2020, ranked in 40 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #78, first reached in 1973.

It held a top-100 place in 10 years, 7 of them consecutive.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 103 births, registered in New South Wales, Australia in 1972.

1 registrar publishes it in more than one category list, holding a place in each for at least five years — an observation about those lists rather than about the name.

Its record falls into 8 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 4 years.

A second registrar first ranked it in 1976, and 32 years separate the first registrar to record it from the last.

Every figure here is counted from the seven official registrars Namewise holds. A position is only ever a place within the list that published it, and a record that thins or stops is a fact about what registrars printed — never about how many children received the name.

Jodi was ranked #78 in New South Wales, Australia · Girls in 1973. These are the names immediately either side of it on that published list — a fact about the registrar's own output, not a similarity judgement.

Jodi and the names beside it

Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale, in the same year, by the same registrar — so these are positions that genuinely passed each other, not a similarity judgement. Drawn from the 2,577 names with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon), so a name outside that set could have passed Jodi without appearing here.
