Hayden or Haydn?

[RubRubRubScrub]

I know Haydn is supposed to be pronounced differently, but I know 2 who pronounce it the same as Hayden. Also, it's a bit less Jayden, Kayden (I do like Caden though!)

Anyway, Hayden or Haydn???

I normally would've said Hadyn, but looking at them side by side..m Hayden

[doubleshotespresso]

Hayden- the other one just reads oddly to me.

[Shesaysso]

Hayden, Haydn looks like it's missing a letter to me.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Definitely Caden.

[RubRubRubScrub]

Caden isn't an option

[BlueChampagne]

Hayden, to save a life of correcting pronounciation!

When you meet a friend on the street are you more likely to say 'Hey' or 'Hi'.
Decide based on that, or use the High Court Judge test (terribly biased and isn't real at all):
My Lord Hayden Jones
or My Lord Haydn Jones?

You must pronounce it as you spell it though: if you want Hayden don't spell it Haydn.

Educated people will pronounce Haydn Hy-dn.

How do you want it to be pronounced?

How is Haydn supposed to be pronounced?

[RubRubRubScrub]

@BertrandRussell one of the Haydns I know pronounces it Hayden and his parents are doctors!

[Scrumpernickel]

Haydn should be pronounced high-den.

So I would definitely go for Hayden.

[RiverTam]

I know that the composer Haydn is pronounced Hi-dn, but I would still pronounced it Hay-dn if I saw it as a first name. Hayden looks all kinds of wrong to me.

Another vote for Hayden because Haydn should be pronounced High-den
