WDYT of Cade?

I’m normally more of a traditionalist but I’ve fallen in love. It sounds great with our surname, as well as our chosen middle name which is my fathers name.

Any initial thoughts?

Not keen.

Mostly due to having met one at work.

He was a young adult. He was also the most arrogant, demanding and entitled man-child I have ever encountered.

Truly awful.

@BetsyBobbins , it is - Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica. Don't the brazilians have their own words for my hairbrush? Smile

That's an acronym for that organisation. Cadê (with the accent on the e) is a word that can substitute "where is it", so you can either say "cadê my toothbrush?" or "where is my toothbrush?", both sentences meaning the same.

Oh, and it's a ridiculous word for a name

KirstenBlest · 15/12/2023 20:51

He would be 'R Cade where I'm from!

Spirallingdownwards · 15/12/2023 20:47

Awful. (as you asked)

ChateauDuMont · 15/12/2023 20:45

Horrible.

He'll be asked by other children if it's short for Arcade.

Crunchymum · 15/12/2023 20:18

But it takes all sorts. He could be friends with little Kylian on the other thread

😂

Is it Cade as in rhymes with made / fade or is it Cay-dee?

(Neither are good!)

BrassicaBabe · 15/12/2023 16:48

A cade is an orphan lamb 🤷‍♀️

frogswimming · 15/12/2023 16:45

I don't really like it. I don't know what its origin is though.

erikbloodaxe · 15/12/2023 16:33

I know one Kade. Mid 30's and a swinger.

QuackyDuckMcDucky · 15/12/2023 12:58

I only know it as a surname so it just sounds like one of those Americanised last names as first names.

VillageLite · 15/12/2023 11:16

I think of Cade’s Rebellion of 1450 (though that was a surname).

I think you might get people mishearing and thinking the name is Cain/Kane, if that bothers you.

TomatoSandwiches · 15/12/2023 11:06

I don't like it.

cantlosebabyweight · 15/12/2023 11:05

well, in Italian is "falls down" ...😅

@AuntieStella , it's a name of a well-known organization in Brazil, so might be a bit like calling a child Nato or something.

No, it's not. It literally means "Where is it?", as in "'Cade' my hairbrush?"

Thank you!

KirstenBlest · 15/12/2023 07:45

Sounds like decayed

AuntieStella · 15/12/2023 07:19

What's the Brazilian connection - does it have its roots in Europe via Portugal?

The one I know is an American man. It didn't even occur to me that anyone would use it for a girl

BetsyBobbins · 15/12/2023 01:06

Providing the child will never live in Brazil they should be fine

Cuckoochanel80 · 15/12/2023 01:03

Don't do it

Zoflorabore · 15/12/2023 01:00

i know of one who is 13 but it’s spelt as Kade. I’ve heard worse names but I wouldn’t choose it myself.

Babla · 15/12/2023 00:59

Nah

ActDottie · 15/12/2023 00:46

Charlie2121 · 15/12/2023 00:19

It sounds made up and chavvy. Avoid.

This it’s awful imo
