What's included in the Bodie worksheet

Letters to trace: 5; Capital B + 4 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #275; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; No diagonal strokes

Bodie is a solid practice name: a capital “B” and 4 lowercase letters that mix easy lines and curves with a few strokes taking more control. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. The tall letter “d” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Bodie was the #275 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Bodie tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

How each letter in Bodie is formed:

B — One big line down, then back to the top for two bumps out to the right — the first stops at the middle, the second at the bottom.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline.
d — Curve round like a c first, then a tall line up on its right side and straight back down.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it.

Watch the skyline of Bodie: “B” and “d” reach the top guide line, two tall letters out of 5. The rest are small letters with nothing hanging below the baseline — only the floating dot on “i” sits above the letter body.

Bodie runs five letters, a length it shares with 502 of the 1,918 names on this site. On the 2025 boys' list it sits in the wide middle stretch, with 693 of the 965 boys' names on this site ranking behind it.

Bodie was the #275 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. Each sheet prints as a single page on US Letter or A4, carrying three-line handwriting guides with a fourth descender line underneath.

Tips for tracing Bodie

Split Bodie down the middle: trace “Bod”, pause, then “ie” — two short chunks are easier to hold in mind than five letters at once.
Save the dot on “i” for last: letter body first, then lift the pencil and dot it.
Call out “tall, small, tall, small, small” as the pencil moves — naming each letter's height is the quickest fix for uneven sizing in Bodie.
Close with a single unguided Bodie on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.

Customization options

Font style

Choose dotted outlines while your child is still learning where each stroke goes, and switch to solid light-gray once tracing gets confident — writing over the full letterform is the bridge to copying. The first row always shows Bodie solid and dark.

Letter size

Small, medium, or large guide lines. Bodie fits at every size — start large for first attempts and step down as pencil control improves.

Number of practice lines

Set 1 to 12 practice lines below the example row. Fewer, larger lines for beginners; more, smaller lines for daily practice sheets.
