How would you spell Caden?

I know it isn't liked on here, so no need to say that. I'm just wondering on spelling. Would you assume a child, who told you their name was Caden, spell it as Caden? I really don't know on what the 'correct' spelling is. Is it supposed to be the same as Hayden/Jayden, so Cayden? Help!

I know one, spelt Caiden

I think Caden looks the nicest. But I tend to prefer the C names over K variations.

Caiden. Definitely no K.

Kayden is the more common spelling here but I would probably ask as there are so many different ways you can spell it.

The only one I know is Kayden so I would instinctively think that. Caden looks weird to be although that might be the 'right' spelling.

I know two. Spelt Caiden. South east if it's a regional spelling thing?

There are too many variations to make guessing worthwhile, so I'd always ask the parent/child (once they're old enough to know).

Caden is how we spelt it for ds3.

I've taught one, he spelt it Cadan.

Personally I would spell it Kaiden. Lovely name.

ChessieFL · 27/10/2016 19:17

Kaiden

Kayden. Mind you that looks wrong but is the first thought that came to mind.
