Odie
A boys’ name with no widely documented etymology — two syllables, given to 7 babies a year in England and Wales.
Odie by the numbers
In 2025, 7 babies in England and Wales were named Odie. In the US, 9 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given several times more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 62 babies in 1918, so it is a 1910s name that has since fallen a long way.
What we can tell you about Odie

Plenty are coined rather than inherited — invented outright, blended from two names, or respelled from an older one — and where we cannot find an etymology we can stand behind, we would rather say so than make one up. What follows comes from the birth records themselves.
