I know a Jaygen. He is an actor. I also know an actor who has used Jayden as his surname. He shared house with Jaygen so I think I know where the name came from. It does sound made up.

Of the three - Oliver. Still a classy name.

Jayden - whatever its origins - is not a real name in that form - and together with its being very 'of the moment' gives it unfortunate links with the underclass which others have spelled out..

DD2 would have been Luke, also love Oliver, i don't like Jayden mainly because i know a Jayden and his family are very Chav .

Fimbo · 10/02/2009 15:56

I personally don't like Luke

Jayden - 100% no

My choice out of the three would be Oliver or Luke (not sure which I prefer out of these two as I like them both quite a lot!).

CantSleepWontSleep · 10/02/2009 15:18

Luke.

I would use almost any name in preference to Jayden.

MamaG · 10/02/2009 14:55

Luke and Olive

DEF not jayden

kslatts · 10/02/2009 14:51

Don't really like Luke, but Oliver and Jayden are both nice.

I am finding boys' names quite difficult as I teach and have met a lot of boys I don't want to associate with my own child. I have memories of a variety of fairly inoffensive Lukes and Olivers, but only one Jayden. In my mind he will always be a big, sullen, pizza-faced chav with an Asbo.

Jayden is the new Jordan.

Sorry, and apologies to anyone with lads of either name.

Peachy · 09/02/2009 18:38

Oh I don't really mind Jayden, not a choice of mine but not that awful- and I know a 6 year old Jayden btw so not that new.

Peachy · 09/02/2009 18:36

Oliver

nkf · 09/02/2009 18:35

Oliver lovely.
Luke okay.
Jayden, well, I think you've been told...

lljkk · 09/02/2009 18:33

I like Jayden best on your list (by a mile). Others are ok.

Madmentalbint · 09/02/2009 18:31

Not Jayden
Luke is okay
Like Oliver

WorzselMummage · 09/02/2009 17:59

Absolutly agree with anyone who says Not Jayden.

Of the other 2 i prefer Oliver but would use use Luke as less popular.
