What are your opinions on the name 'Hayden'?

[SilverStones123]

Hello Mumsnetters,

Our little boy arrived yesterday morning.

What are your opinions on Hayden George?

We think it's nice, but would like some opinions first!

[FoxesSitOnBoxes]

If your baby is already here and you've already named him then go for it! Dont ask mumsnet now or someone will make you sad by saying they don't like it

[gunsandbanjos]

It's better than the grim Jayden/ Cayden trend that's unfortunately hanging around.

Wouldn't be top of my list but it's ok.

[blankpieceofpaper]

The spelling of Hadyn is a traditional Welsh baby name.

[CancellyMcChequeface]

It might be traditional, but I'm afraid it blends in with all the Jayden/Kayden/Brayden names for me. Sorry!

I do like George - and congratulations on your baby boy! :)

[SansasEscape]

I prefer it Haydn, as blank said.

[Loyly]

I don't like -ayden sounding names, sorry.

[blondieblondie]

I hate Jayden, Caden, Brayden, etc. but Hayden is ok. Maybe because I actually know one though.

Congratulations

[MrsJayy]

Aww congratulations on Hayden people will hate it so dont listen its a fine name

[WaitrosePigeon]

Really not very nice, personally.

George is lovely

[HeteronormativeHaybales]

Haydn, if you're Welsh - fine.
Hayden - awful, and will date, badly.
Sorry.

[HeteronormativeHaybales]

Oh, and if that makes me a snotty idiot, guilty as charged.

[TheWeeBabySeamus1]

It's my surname!

I always say (unless it's something like Crapbag) if you love the name then use it.

[WaitrosePigeon]

Me too Het, snotty as fuck

Join me on the twat bench

Shuffle up on the twat bench, I'm joining you!

[katemess12]

I like it.

I know a lovely Hayden.

Congrats, OP! Hayden George is a great name.

[Benedikte2]

Not my top favourite but ok. Has been around much longer than similar names with the exception of Aiden (which I personally prefer) and is a quiet solid name. Goes nicely with the George.
Hope you'll all be very happy.

[0pti0na1]

I wouldn't spell it Haydn, because it will get pronounced as High-dnn like the composer.

[mumgointhroughtorture]

I like it .
Congratulations on your new arrival :)

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Congratulations OP 💐
I prefer George Hayden.

[StCecilia]

Congratulations OP

If you like it, use it - my DH's best mate is called Hayden and he's a top bloke. I also know a 10 year old and he's a complete nightmare. But I can also say this about lots of names.

He'll be your Hayden and that's all that matters.
