Unfortunately Jadon does fall into the chav bucket and Noah’s are ten a penny.
Neither would be on my list.

MammieBear · 21/09/2017 08:21

Noah not jadon

2014newme · 21/09/2017 08:20

Noah
Jadon is chavvy

pipilangstrumpf · 21/09/2017 08:14

I find Noah quite faddy actually and think it’s going to start to fall out of favour and sound dated. I also don’t particularly like the sound of it (like a whiny no).

Jadon would be more interesting and masculine imo. So that would be my choice (if I had to choose)

Noah is definitely more classic than Jadon. I know both are old biblical names but Jadon has different connotations because of Jayden which is definitely not a classic name.
So Noah all the way.

Nandostodayplease · 21/09/2017 07:51

Jadon is very "chavy " where I live, so Noah is better from my point of view. I'm not keen on Noah either though to be honest Grin

bigfatbumfreak · 21/09/2017 07:48

Noah.

Jadon sounds like a toilet cleaner.

Sorry, Smile

starryskies78 · 21/09/2017 07:36

Grin Eyebrows, a perfect definition of Jaydon /Kayden et al. Poor kids!

Op I do prefer Noah.

I believe though Jadon is pronounced Jah-don but think it's likely to get pronounced Jaydon with so many around which is a shame.

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 21/09/2017 07:34

Matthew's nice

DurhamDurham · 21/09/2017 07:30

Noah is lovely though trying to be positive Smile

eyebrowsonfleek · 21/09/2017 07:27

I know that Jadon is actually a legitimate biblical name but it’s going to get mixed up with the Jaiden/Jaidan/Jaydon/Jaidn/Cayden/Brayden name which has a reputation as a very naughty child with Jeremy Kyle parents.

LucieLucie · 21/09/2017 07:27

I agree with Olivia.

Jadon is like one of those names where they have gone to register the baby as Jaydon at the registrar but can't spell so end up with a makey upper.

Don't do it.

What on earth is Jadon? That's really awful, please don't use that.

Noah is so cute!

OliviaStabler · 21/09/2017 07:22

*Noah.

I'd assume that Jadon was an alternative spelling of Jayden, which is a dreadful name.*

This ^^

Badders08 · 21/09/2017 07:19

Noah is in the bible!
Pretty classic by any definition surely?
Jaydon is horrible
In my opinion
.....Which you asked for

MadisonAvenue · 21/09/2017 07:16

Noah.

I'd assume that Jadon was an alternative spelling of Jayden, which is a dreadful name.

Ummmmgogo · 21/09/2017 07:16

i like Noah. I like Jayden. Jadon looks like a misspelling of Jayden so I'm not keen. he's your baby op, ignore us and pick your favourite.

ChocolateCrunch · 21/09/2017 07:16

Noah is my choice. Jadon will probably be mispronounced, so you might want to bear that in mind.

Ham69 · 21/09/2017 07:09

Sorry OP but you have asked opinions and have to accept criticsm.
Jadon really isn't going to be a popular choice. It doesn't have a great reputation.
I'd go with Noah.

Lottey90 · 21/09/2017 02:49

Yeah basically would look like your one of the Jaydon braydon kaydon sheep

MrsTerryPratchett · 21/09/2017 01:48

There are lots of Jaydons and Kaydons and Braydons round here and Jadon will get tarred with that brush. If you care, I don't particularly. And it looks nice.

I appreciate everyone has an opinion, but really, what is so 'dreadful' about Jadon? I've never seen any other biblical name described in such a way.

SuperBeagle · 21/09/2017 01:41

Jadon is a Biblical name, so just as classic as Noah, in that sense.

I prefer Jadon, because I think the religious connotations of Noah are far more pervasive (old man with an ark and some animals), and because Noah is so ridiculously popular.

notangelinajolie · 21/09/2017 01:37

Please let it not be Jadon. Dreadful name.
