Just wondering which of these spelling people thought were the most common. I've also seen it spelled Aden (The name of a park near where DH used to live) but I don't want to do an unusual spelling and have him having to clarify how to spell his name for the rest of his life!

Aidan definitely.

I spell it with an A at the end and much prefer it that way

Aidan, definitely

Aidan

Definitely Aidan.

The one I know is Aidan.
And autocorrect didn't complain...

Aidan, it was the original after the Irish spelling

I'd spell it with an a, but it might depend on where you live.

Well as an Irish person I prefer Aodhán but presuming you're in the UK, Aidan is the closest and nicest option.

Dislike Aiden and Aden is hideous.

I've only ever seen Aiden before. Aidan looks wrong to me, and k think Aden is a port somewhere.

Aiden would get my vote.

I think pretty equally tbh, I would choose which spelling suits the rest of his name the best!
