Jadon or Justus?

Hi, our little boy is due in 5 weeks.
Which name do you prefer? No point in commenting if you're just going to be nasty/say neither.
Thank you.

Is Jadon pronounced

Dja-don

I suspect lots of older people will literally pronounce it that way.

MrsEricBana · 30/04/2017 15:35

Of the two Justus for me.

I hate that people see Jadon as made up and I hate that the Jayden, etc. has ruined it, as people don't know the actual meaning of the name, it's a shame. It's still an absolute favourite of mine.

Thank you for the sensible comments Smile

I don't understand the negativity, OP. Justus particularly is a really nice name.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 30/04/2017 15:26

Justus. Lovely and unusual. Jadon and all its derivatives are very popular now so that would put me off even if I did like the name, which I don't, sorry...

Xmas - that's why I've asked for people who will be negative to not bother commenting... We would never use a different spelling, hence Jadon.

Although I accept the Jadon is the biblical spelling I think Jaydon or Jaidon is more usual. It is a very popular name though.

Justus is far more interesting and unusual.

elevenclips · 30/04/2017 15:21

Jadon

Although I would be a bit careful with spelling/pronouncation

Jayden/Jadem would usually be pronounced "Jay-den"
Jadon would usually be pronounced "Jaw-done"

Depends which you are after.

They're very unusual, do they have a specific meaning you like?

Xmasbaby11 · 30/04/2017 15:20

I think you must know that both names are unusual so you may not get a very positive response.

I prefer Jadon but I'd be wary of using a different spelling.

Justus - I first came across it in Buddenbrooks by Thomas Mann, and considered it for DS Smile

Just - Jadon is the original, biblical spelling and Justus is a biblical name.

Never seen Jadon spelt like that or heard of Justus tbh. .
Not being negative just noticing!
