This for a Boys name?....

Hey all

so me and my other half literally cannot agree on any name for our Boy to be. and weve gone through 100's!

But I like the name Cadence for a boy? im in the UK and I don't think its popular here (which I like) but its quite popular in the USA for girls, although online suggests its unisex and girls spell it differently

Whats your opinion on it? can it work for our boy? (I haven't asked DH yet about it, as I cant be bothered for another argument) but id love to know the general view on the name before I approach it.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Awful girl's name, he wouldn't thank you.

If that is a boys name, it sounds quite feminine, in my opinion.

Alwaysundecided · 06/03/2020 18:29

I think of it as a girl's name.
How about Cody, Corey, Curtis.

There’s a cadence in my sons class. I have also come across another at toddler group. They are both girls and English. We live in London.
I think it’s a nice enough name, but I wouldn’t use it for a boy personally.

I don't think it's a nice name for either sex.

Ask your partner to introduce himself as Cadence and gauge his reaction. If you/he wouldn't be happy to use it for yourselves then it's not a good choice!

Sorry I agree, girls name in my mind

Pixilicious · 06/03/2020 17:59

Awful. It’s not a name.

MikeUniformMike · 06/03/2020 17:55

Look up the meaning of the name. I'd associate it with cycling.

It looks like an american girl's name.

It is like Kayden, only worse.

CatteStreet · 06/03/2020 17:52

Nope. It's a nice name, but I would absolutely associate it with a girl.

How about Columba?

CeibaTree · 06/03/2020 16:59

If it's popular in the US, it only takes one Cadence to become famous in the future and then your son is stuck with a name everyone will associate with a girl. How about Camden or similar instead if you like the American style of naming?

Wolfiefan · 06/03/2020 16:47

I’ve only ever seen it as a girl’s name. And then only on Nashville.
No. I wouldn’t.
