Don't like either I'm afraid.
Elijah is nice though

SinglePringle · 23/04/2015 13:11

Are you new to MN Grin?

Elijah is lovely. Don't care for either of the other 2 at all.

Both frightful

squoosh · 23/04/2015 13:01

The more I see Tate the more I like it.

SoftSheen · 23/04/2015 12:56

If you go with Jaden then I think it is better spelt 'Jadon', which (as you may know) is an old Hebrew name.

Unfortunately, however, whichever way you spell it Jaden/Jadon tends to me seen as a 'chav' name, much as Jason was 25 years ago (though Jason is actually a very old name too).

Not keen on Tate, it sounds too much like a surname to me.

Have you considered Aidan?

MythicalKings · 23/04/2015 12:46

Both beyond awful

anorakgirl · 23/04/2015 12:45

I like Tate but where I live the second T would be dropped so it wouldn't sound as good! Jaden is very popular here too so would deffo go with Elijah!

QueQuesto · 23/04/2015 12:41

Tate is nice but it would only go with longer surnames, you couldn't have it with a single syllable one. Jayden is nice enough but there are so many Jayden/Cayden/Haydens around that it's become a bit meh.

lionheart · 23/04/2015 09:56

I really like Tate.

Viviennemary · 23/04/2015 09:19

I think they're both dire. Jaden is I suppose marginally less cringeworthy.

Heels99 · 23/04/2015 09:15

Both girls names?

Elijah is the best of your options, least girly and least chavtastic

deadwitchproject · 23/04/2015 09:13

Yes I thought of Tate = sugar and then Tate = gallery. I like your choice of Elijah.

burgatroyd · 23/04/2015 09:09

I'd still avoid Jaden though as its very popular.

burgatroyd · 23/04/2015 09:09

Some people say my name is chavvy. Its a bit like Donna or Jade. I quite like it though!

SweetAndFullOfGrace · 23/04/2015 08:47

Tate is a gallery.
Jaden sounds too much like jaded.

I quite like Elijah though.

wigglesrock · 23/04/2015 08:43

I always think of Jaden as a girls name but I think that might just be because my daughter goes to school with a few - it's alright, I don't really have any feelings about it, it's a bit meh - sort of like Claire, Amy, James, Paul, Simon - a bit non descript. I quite like Tate, I didn't think I did, but when I say it out loud it's growing on me.

Elijah - it's alright, I don't prefer it any more than Jaden - I think it's the j sound I'm not fussed on it - it's a bit wet.

NadiaWadia · 23/04/2015 04:45

Elijah is much nicer OP.

maplebaconchips · 22/04/2015 23:16

I like Tate, Jayden is also lovely. Sod those who are calling it "chavvy", its not their baby. I don't like Elijah, but then I tend to dislike the try hard mummy's who call their kids things like Caleb or Boadicea.

QOD · 22/04/2015 23:16

Jayden is soooooo common place now. Tons of them
Tate

GatoradeMeBitch · 22/04/2015 23:14

Names can be chavvy. Sad but true. I have a chavvy 70s name - and that was before chavishness even officially existed! Sad

VixxFace · 22/04/2015 23:13

Love Tate.
Also like elijah. Have you thought of Isaiah?

squoosh · 22/04/2015 23:10

Elijah is very religious.

Koalafications · 22/04/2015 23:10

Tate reminds me of Aiden from Sex and the city. He had a son called Tate.

I don't mind Jaden. Not entirely sure how a name can be 'chavvy' Hmm

Elijah is lovely.

pieceofpurplesky · 22/04/2015 23:08

Elijah Tate, too many Jaden/Jay/Jake names!

DramaAlpaca · 22/04/2015 23:05

Of the two, Tate.
