Dylan Sprouse stated that the idea of twins living in a hotel was something he and his brother came up with when they were shooting Big Daddy and stayed in a hotel for four months. Sprouse said of Zack and Cody, "The characters were originally based off our personalities. In fact, they were originally named Dylan and Cole."\n', '

Cody was born at St. Joseph\'s Hospital in Seattle, Washington at 6:40 on a Saturday. The year of his birth is not clear. In The Suite Life on Deck episode, "Das Boots", it is said to be 1993. However, in the episode of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody titled "Poor Little Rich Girl", a baby video of he and his brother is date-stamped September 23, 1992.\n', '

The twins attended Buckner Middle School during seasons 1 & 2, Cheevers High School during season 3 of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, and then Seven Seas High on board the SS Tipton in The Suite Life on Deck. Cody is more erudite, mature and intelligent than Zack. Cody tends to be more sensitive, caring and better behaved than his brother, but he is not perfect; he occasionally shows acts of meanness and greed. He generally receives good grades in school, and according to Zack, Cody has a 5.0 grade point average. He is often referred to as a nerd, though he prefers "educationally gifted". London Tipton, daughter of the man who owns the Tipton Hotel in which he resides for the duration of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, uses him on various occasions to complete her school work. In one episode of The Suite Life on Deck, Cody and Zack fight over the fact that Zack stole an old term paper from Cody rather than writing his own, and Zack admits that he knows he\'ll never match Cody academically and feels inferior to his brother; in response, Cody admits that he works hard to get grades because Zack is better at sports, better with girls, and more popular, while the only thing Cody has going for him is his intelligence. He is shown to have a strong, almost obsessive, fear of germs. Despite his exceptional intelligence and relative maturity when compared to Zack, Cody exhibits some comically regressive behaviors, such as calling his mother "Mommy", screaming girlishly when frightened, and carrying a "blankey" into his teens. This becomes a running joke throughout the series. In "Big Hair & Baseball", it is revealed that he has astigmatism. Cody is proven to have a Swedish background in the Suite Life on Deck episode "The Swede Life". He originally intended to attend Harvard University; however, he has a bad encounter with a Dean there, as he helped to lie when Zack dated the Dean\'s daughter. Later on, he decides to attend Yale. Cody says that his biggest dream is to win a Nobel Prize.\n', '
