My son is called Kade and I love the name. Don't know where you get chavvy from though lol we called him it because its of Scottish origin. It means from the wetlands.

Cade ahead of Kade.

SoftSheen · 05/07/2015 18:41

Cade is OK, though personally I'm not keen on surnames as given names.

Definitely not Kade. Just awful.

GotTheKey · 05/07/2015 18:33

Neither, sorry

Lilydreams · 03/07/2015 23:17

Both are chavy sorry!

kissmyheathenass · 02/07/2015 20:29

Both chavv imo.

clairemum22 · 02/07/2015 20:26

I don't like either!

EhricLovesTheBhrothers · 02/07/2015 09:49

If you have to then go with Cade

Zakken · 01/07/2015 23:32

It's Cade to rhyme with Jade Confused Nothing complicated about it.

Mintyy · 01/07/2015 21:44

It's not a name I am very familiar with. How would it be pronounced?

Either way I think you should choose the spelling you like best and not worry about other people's perceptions. I guarantee there is no name on the planet that someone somewhere doesn't like! Even the most innocuous names like James or Mary are a no-no with some people.

BadHenry · 01/07/2015 21:35

Neither

MamaLazarou · 01/07/2015 18:38

I don't like either but with a C if you must.

PennilynLott · 01/07/2015 18:25

Sophronia yeah, I'm gonna call her Caddy.

Zakken · 01/07/2015 18:14

I can also remember a TV programme called Cade's County, a western in which the sheriff (I think) had the surname Cade.

Sophronia · 01/07/2015 17:13

I think Lindsay Lohan's Mean Girls character is Cady?

IssyStark · 01/07/2015 16:56

Don't like it myself as a full name but okay as a nickname. It would have to be with a C. Possibly go for Caedyn as the full name, which has a certain Welsh/Anglo-Saxon look to it (see also Caedmon, Caedfael etc)

GladysTheGolem · 01/07/2015 16:53

What's Lindsay Lohans name in Mean Girls?

florascotia · 01/07/2015 16:51

It does exist. It's a surname. Jack Cade was a medieval revolting (literally) peasant - he led a rebellion:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Cade

Is it pronounced Cayd or Caydee? Agree with others go with C spelling either way

Sophronia · 01/07/2015 14:03

Neither, but Cade is slightly better than Kade.

bluebelle2662 · 01/07/2015 13:14

Neither, it's hideous.

nilbyname · 01/07/2015 12:59

It's awful, sounds made up. If you must, with a C rather than a K.

Taste is subjective, choose the name you love.

Zakken · 01/07/2015 12:57

Yes, it is a name, but principally a surname.

Excitedforxmas · 01/07/2015 12:48

Don't like either sorry but would go with a c spelling if I had to
