How would you spell Caden?

37 replies

I know it isn't liked on here, so no need to say that. I'm just wondering on spelling. Would you assume a child, who told you their name was Caden, spell it as Caden? I really don't know on what the 'correct' spelling is. Is it supposed to be the same as Hayden/Jayden, so Cayden? Help!

Kayden. Mind you that looks wrong but is the first thought that came to mind.

Personally I would spell it Kaiden. Lovely name.

Caden is how we spelt it for ds3.

There are too many variations to make guessing worthwhile, so I'd always ask the parent/child (once they're old enough to know).

I know two. Spelt Caiden. South east if it's a regional spelling thing?

The only one I know is Kayden so I would instinctively think that. Caden looks weird to be although that might be the 'right' spelling.

Kayden is the more common spelling here but I would probably ask as there are so many different ways you can spell it.

Caiden. Definitely no K.

I think Caden looks the nicest. But I tend to prefer the C names over K variations.

I quite like it spelled as Kayden, as that's most popular. I also know a Kaidyn, which I'm not keen on, but it's another spelling. x

C/Kaiden

Caidan or Kaidan have been popular spellings at work. I prefer it with a C.

I only know one who is a Kayden. So that would be my go-to, although I think Kaiden (like Aiden) works. Caden seems fine though, similar to Cadence which is a girls name I love.
I love the name Kayden - unfortunately the only one I know is a family member so probably won't use it. It's a great name though, lucky you :)

Caden, similar to Cadence.

I'd spell it Kayden, but then I know one. His mum said she made the name up Confused. He is about 7 or 8 now I think and a bit of cheeky chappy! Not a bad boy though.
