These are our final 2 Smile he would be Jadon Matthew or Noah Matthew (Matthew is my dad's name) thanks!

I'm not keen on either, but Noah if I had to choose. Jadon is too much like Jayden, which has some negative connotations.

Needalifeoverhaul · 21/09/2017 01:21

I'm afraid I don't like Jadon either OP. Noah Matthew is lovely though.

Lottey90 · 21/09/2017 01:21

Jadon reminds me of Jayden..and yeah. Where I live there are too many Jayden's.
Then again it is jadon not Jayden. So out of the two I'd probably go with that.

Apparently Noah's are ten a penny now.

I do love Matthew

Neither isn't helpful Hmm

I really can't use Matthew. I don't want my son to have my dad's name!

Out of those two, definitely Noah. Although I might even prefer Matthew as the first name!

Mumsthewordssshhh · 21/09/2017 01:14

I know a couple of Jayden and not so keen on Jadon (pronounced with the Ja). Sounds a bit like someone prouncing 'bucket' like the lady in one foot in the grave (bouquet)! I know a Noah too. Think Noah Matthew works nicely.

Binghasalottoanswerfor · 21/09/2017 01:13

Neither!

Please don't succumb your child to a lifetime of having to spell their name out phonetically. I have that issue for both my first & last name! Really gets old & frustrating pretty quickly

If it's Jah-don it's...possibly ok
If it's jay-don it's just.. we'll come on.

Awful? Shock what do you mean by 'common'? Hmm

I don't think it sounds common, it is a biblical name. There's Jadon the meronothite from the Old Testament. I still prefer Noah though.

pilotswife · 21/09/2017 01:09

Jadon is awful
Noah is a great name

feelinmightylow · 21/09/2017 01:06

Jadon sounds common, sorry

MadamePomfrey · 21/09/2017 00:54

Noah for me

Well, I suppose Jah-donn would be more accurate, but we've accepted he'd get Jay-donn Smile and we are more than happy with that!

I've never heard of Jadon either, is it pronounced like Jayden or Jah-donn? I like Noah.

Noah is no more classic than Jadon! Thank you for commenting Smile
