Jayden/Kayden

[readywithwellies]

Why is it everywhere I go, someone is shouting one of these names at their child?

It seems to be Jackson/Madison/Harrison/Leighton here...

I only know one Jadon (spelt that way, which is actually a biblical name - the man who helped to re-build the walls of Jerusalem).

It isn't as common as is made out - in London, anyway.

Don't know any Kaydens, although know two Kaylans.

its the names-that-sound-like-surnames trend

have seen/heard all the above lately

plus others including hudson, theakston, caelan, layton et al.

I know one Jayden and one Caden - think they're both a bit

None here but quite a few Harrisons. I used to get those baby name suggestion emails when I was expecting DD and one week the suggestions were Jayden, Kayden and Brayden.

I don't know any Jaydens or Kaydens here in Surrey actually.. I don't really like either name to be honest.

I keep asking myself the same question. I hear it SO often it is almost like a cliche.

Lots up here near Leeds. Awful.

What kind of moron would call ther child Theakston fgs?

I know 1 who is age 3 with peirced ears and shaved head!! sweet boy though.

That says it all, Danthe4th.

I have a friend with a Kayden. She chose it because she likes unusual names. Didn't have they heart to tell her how common (in more than once sense of the word) I think it is.

She is from a posh family, well educated etc etc, I was really surprised when I heard her choice

Blimey, this post makes me out to be a proper bitch doesn't it

I love my friend but am not keen on her choice of name. She thinks my children have boring unimaginitive names. Takes all sorts I suppose.

I have only met one Jayden. Don't like the name but loved the boy. Never met a Kayden before.

I have a friend who called her son Oscar because she said it was unusual. I know 4 under the age of 3! I didn't tell her that.

Don't like either - sound like silly, made-up-type names. To me, there's a difference between an unusual name that is actually a real name, and a made-up word that sounds a bit like a name but isnt IYSWIM

I think they are American names.
Isn't one of them the name of one of Britney's kids? and definately one of Will Smiths.

I met a Swayze the other day.

Lots round here too, along with Hayden and Braydon

Bet you don#t have a Mason, Lawson, Carter, Riley or Mackenzie. You have to have them all and raise me another to win .

Lots round here ..its just a trend ..much like the Arthurs,Wilfreds and Ethels etc that seem much loved on MN

Swayze!
There was an Ozzy in the paper the other day. And several Beaus too.

'What kind of moron would call ther child Theakston fgs?'

A very peculier one (sic) :)

Fran - I know a Lawson, Riley and a Mackenzie but not a Mason or a Carter. So you win

The biggest thing is it seems to be the only names I hear a parent SHOUTING. So, are all shouty parents calling their dcs Kayden/Jayden or is it that dcs called Jayden/Kayden are just naughty?

The names are this generations "Barry/Gary"
