Hi
Just after some opinions really. I am having my 5th child but 3rd boy. We have a
Bradley
Zach

Does Aiden fit in with these. This is the only name that we have found that both of us like.
Also middle names either
Matthew
Luke
Lewis/louis.
Thanks

I agree with breatheslowly. I am Irish but I think it's not one of the names (like Maedhbh/Maeve Ciarán/Kieran) that has an established anglicised spelling. Aiden just looks like you tweaked the name to be dyfurrinte. Which is dangerous territory! Don't go there!

I'm pretty sure Aiden is just wrong. Aidan is a beautiful name though and fits in well with your other boys.

Fits in very well with the others, definately Aiden Matthew

Aiden is just a mistake. The name is definitely Aidan. (St Aidan of Lindisfarne)

I think that the spelling is Aidan in English too. I think Aiden is just a misspelling.

In England it is associated with St Aidan which is spelt with an "a" see here.

And I love Aidan btw.

Lovely choice Smile think Aiden Lewis just edges in front of my preference but they are all really nice together

Aiden fits perfectly with his brothers. Aiden Matthew is nice.

Thank you all.
We are going for the "e" rather than the "a" because hubby wants the english spelling rather than the irish.(Don't ask me why as i haven't got a clue).
Might have to put Quentin to my hubby as i quite like it i did see it in the book last night but didn't mention it.
I love Quinn for a nn too.

Thank you again.

I like Aiden Matthew. As it is you fifth child have you considered Quentin or Quinn - derived from the latin Quintus meaning fifth?

Aidan Matthew

PepsiPopcorn · 18/03/2011 16:58

Yes I think it fits nicely. Prefer the more classic Aidan spelling.

All the middle names would go nicely. My favourite would be Aidan Luke.

TabithaTwitchet · 18/03/2011 16:10

I think Aiden (or Aidan) fits nicely and I really like it. Also goes nicely with all the middle name choices.

BlueChampagne · 18/03/2011 16:09

I wanted a Lewis but was vetoed and had an Aidan instead. I think it does fit, and either Matthew or Lewis/Louis would make fine middle names. I like Luke but I think 2 syllables sound better.

Congratulations.
