Jaylen

[heretofindaname]

Hi there. Our 2nd son is due in a few weeks. We are liking Jaylen - I don't want to ask family (I made that mistake last time) so I found this site!

Thank you in advance. Our 1st son is Clayden. Are they too similar?

Thanks xxx

[StrawberrytallCake]

Yes they are too similar.

[PacificDogwod]

Yes. Too similar.

My father and brother are called similar sounding names (think Ronald and Donald). It's a practical nightmare

[Alisvolatpropiis]

Much too similar

[BennyTheBall]

Yes too similar.

Also too much like Jayden which is on the MN banned list.

[nectarini1983]

I think people will think you've misspelt Jayden so a lifetime of correction ahead!

[nomorechocolate2016]

Not keen sorry. I have never heard of either name and would find Jaylen difficult to remember.

[Milzilla]

Far too similar. Tongue-tying in fact.

I'm not keen sorry - sounds made-up.

[Fairylea]

Way too similar ! Sorry, it's really not my kind of name at all.

I think a lot of people would naturally want to rhyme them - Claydon and Jaydon. I don't think they sit together well, sorry!

[Sophronia]

Too similar I think.

[BushyTailedPony]

Yup. Agree with above. It's too similar to your other sons name. I wondered about just calling him Jay. But then you'd have Jay and Clay so that's not much better.

[EssentialHummus]

Really don't like the name, on its own or with your other DC's name. A bit yoonique.

[CaoNiMao]

Dreadful!

[sonlypuppyfat]

I've never heard of either name, I bet you can never find personalised mugs!

[SavoyCabbage]

Clarence is right. People are going to want to say Jayden because it rhymes and sort of flows better.

Clayden and Jaylen are like a tongue twister together.

Jason? 'Clayden and Jason will you get your shoes on RIGHT NOW!'

[VinceNoirLovesHowardMoon]

Jaylen isn't even a name, and yes, it's like a variant of clayden
Pick something that doesn't end in 'en'

[RidersOnTheStorm]

Just no. Awful.

[VolvicTouchofFruit]

They're too similar. Also, I'm not keen on it! The NN, Jay, is okay, though! I think we just have different taste, regarding names. If you love it, use it

[NoAdventureNoTime]

I know a Jaylen, lovely little boy, so not made up name in my book

[TVC15]

Are you the Katie/Kitty poster??



Anyway, it's hideous.

[MissBattleaxe]

No, it's awful. It sounds made up and also like a wrong spelling and too much like Jayden- all at the same time!
