I'm not knocking the name Jayden, I actually don't hate it. However, the name gets too much grief, so I'd never want to use it!

DH is insisting; in all fairness, I named DS1 (DH picked the middle name) - we said we would do it the other way around, this time I wish I hadn't!

Jayden and DS1's name, just does not go. I wouldn't want to use Jayden anyway. Also, as I'm picking the middle, he'd be Jayden Oliver... Honestly, I could cope with Oliver Jayden (even though it's not what I'd like) but DH is saying it isn't fair! help!!!

If you don't hate the name, then you should probably consider that this whole 'Jayden snobbery' thing, exists mostly just on Mumsnet.

I know a couple of Jaydens in real life and they are lovely, well adjusted kids.

To my knowledge, no-one has ever even remarked upon their names, but then I don't live in Mumsnet world

If you like it, don't let the twats put you off.

Would he settle for Hayden? That has a more classical feel for me.

Or if he'd like to call him "Jay" as nn might he agree to having James as the full name?

He's right, it wouldn't be fair of you, as you happily agreed when you chose ds1 name,

I don't know. Plead plead and more pleading..
