Middle names for Kaiden?

[SquallyRose]

Hi,
expecting a baby boy and the only name we both like is Kaiden but really struggking to find a middle name that sounds right, any ideas?

Kaiden Arlo

I think if you like Kaiden you should go for it (though I do prefer the spelling Caden)

I suggest
Kaiden Joe

Excuse me! One of my sons names is Kaiden!! He is a beautiful baby boy... Kaiden is and Irish name from the name Cayden, it means companion and warrior.
When I had my twins I gave Kaiden the middle name a family name which was David
So Kaiden David
But I would I suggest a name that had 1,3, to 4 syllables like Alexander (avoid ones that end with an N)

Alicat - I agree with you that Kaiden (however spelled) comes from a Gaelic word meaning warrior.
I was very puzzled by earlier poster who said that Caden was the Cornish for Paul. So far as I know, in all British-Celtic languages (Scottish and Irish Gaelic, Welsh, Breton and Cornish) the word-element 'cad' or 'cath' means 'battle' or 'man of battle'.

This thread is 4.5 years old.

Caiden Anthony
Caiden Joel
Caiden John
Caiden George
Caiden Francis

Sorry! Kaiden - I got mixed up with all the spelling arguments!

4.5 years old? I wonder if young Kaiden the commoner has been expelled from nursery yet and is already working in McDonalds (no stars, obviously)?

Kaiden is an unusual name so I would go with something short and traditional as a middle name.

James for preference or maybe Seth.

Also John. Peter.

Kaiden is NOT an Irish name. There is no K in the Irish language.
If you piss about with names you can't still claim them as the original name.

Caden and Caeden are proper names. Kaiden is a recent innovation.

When I was at school there was a Canon called Caden Law Spence. I always thought Caden Law was very cool! Plus, he was a thoroughly nice man!

So my suggestion is, Law.

Call him zombie?

This is an old thread.

How do these threads even come back around?!

I've only been on mumsnet for less than a year but I see that it has always been a ground for judgemental people to walk on regarding baby names!

It might be helpful to people considering Kaiden...Although, if someone's considering it, they might be put off by this thread!

I wonder what this Kaiden's middle name is!

I expect AliCat did an Advanced Search for her son's name and this came up.

All this stuff about spelling depends on how far back into history one wants to go. Taken too far, it becomes problematic. Consider this example:
Today, Kelly is one of the most famous Irish surnames.
Originally it was probably 'ceallach', which means 'hermit'.
But over the years it's been given an English-style spelling. With a 'k'. Does that make any less Irish???

The same shift to English-style spelling very probably applies to Kaiden.

Very good point Flora!

Why would you reopen this zombie thread?

Let me guess... kid called Kayden?!

This is the second time it's been zombied!

I'm sure they've felt bad about it the entire SEVEN YEARS since they posted, @wellokay

Little Kaiden is 7 years old now
