Caden?

[ElEmEn]

DMIL is Cadence, so it's nice for that reason too.

Opinions?

[Ham69]

Don't think the name will go down well on mumsnet.
I wouldn't use this name but can understand the family link which I think is lovely. Can you use as middle name?

[crje]

Not a fan

Sounds like a product name

[PeekAtChu]

Nothing wrong with it in itself but it's a big ubiquitous. Every second little boy these days seems to be some variant of Cayden/Jayden etc.

[UntilTheCowsComeHome]

I think it's lovely.

[Tiggeryoubastard]

It's one you hear screeched. Usually belongs to a mullet haired boy with an earring. Awful. Truly awful.

[SansaClegane]

Horrid. No.

[chocoLit]

Nope

[hownottofuckup]

I quite like it actually, especially with the family connection and no 'y'
I don't know any Caydens so it doesn't hold any connotation for me.

[donajimena]

No. Absolutely not. Can't help but think you already know that though!

[austenozzy]

Agree with tigger. Also sounds like a detergent.

[Stevefromstevenage]

No sorry

[birchygoo]

I like it - but then again I don't like half the names that seem to be popular on here

[Catgirl83]

Sorry, no. I also agree with Tigger.

[Onedaftmonkey]

In our road we have a Caden, Hayden and a Jayden. I don't like any of them (little shits that they are)

[ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged]

Cade?

[BettyDraper1]

I read before that registers with the names 'Cayden, Hayden and Jayden' make teachers' hearts sink. Always the naughty boys, apparently.

[LockedOutOfMN]

I like Cadence, but I don't like Caden, not least because if I heard it I might think it was Aiden and even if I heard correctly I wouldn't know how to spell it.

[Kiwiinkits]

chavtastic, sorry.

[LucyFuckingPevensie]

As you may have guessed it's not really a MN name, we have friends in Cornwall who name their ds Cadan as it is a Cornish name.
It won't get a very good reception on here, but that really doesn't matter. If you like the name go for it.

[EllenDegenerate]

There are worse names.

Its it as if you're spelling it Cayden and it has family significance.

You won't feel any love for it here but fwiw it wouldn't effect a raised eyebrow from me.

[Porcupinetree]

Horrible in my opinion, sorry.

[Tuiles]

I know a Kayden, a Cayden and a Caeden and they are all lovely boys from a variety of backgrounds. I think it's a great name.

[GinIsIn]

I'm sorry but it's a no from me too, for the reasons given above.

[MephistoMarley]

People will make assumptions because as you've seen classism is a real issue with names. Caden type names are considered working class which obviously also means poorly behaved and badly parented
Having said that I don't like Caden just because it doesn't look like a finished name. It isn't a variant of cadence so that link is a bit tenuous.

[MidnightVelvettheSixth]

I'm not a fan, I much prefer your spelling to the more usual Kaiden though.

Our primary is awash with Jayden/Kayden/Braydon etc, I think it will date horribly as a name & be the Gary of the future!

Plus as you can see here, some people do ascribe socio-economic status to a name....
