Is this a real name?

[Sleepybunny]

I came across the name Raidon and just wondered if it's a 'known' name. Also is it pronounced 'Ray-don'?

I have never heard that name OP, it sounds like a cleaning product or detergent..

it does sound like a cleaning product.

It's a noble gas

Yeah, radon gas, not good.

Raiden was a character in Metal Gear, computer games

Never heard it before and to be honest I'd feel sorry for a child or adult with this name...it does sound like a cleaning product...

God of the wind I think. Raiden.

I was wrong. Thunder and lightning.

No it's not. And I know a child called Raiden. Aidan or Raymond would be though.

I must admit I thought cleaning product too when I saw it written down, but then hoped I was just pronouncing it incorrectly.

I think the family love quite 'out there' names. His sister is named Krystell

Raijin is the Japanese thunder god en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raijin Raiden is the English version.

The character - however spelled - features in several fight-based video games.

I think the family love quite 'out there' names. His sister is named Krystell

Aha, they clearly go in for "respelling"

Raidon makes me think of insecticide, rather than detergent.

Oww! this name sounds not good :(

Radon gas - something our house survey had quite a lot of detail on!

Absolutely not.

If you like that (and are put off by the detergent /insecticide feelings) how about Gradon?

Spelt Radon it's a chemical element which causes issues for home owners! I personally don't think it's a real name, but if I met someone called it it would be!

Kayden
Jayden
Braydon
Hayden

And now Raidon. This name has got legs!

Raidon - "Eliminates flies with just one easy application!"

reuset!

No unfortunately it is really not to my taste mrspeeee (thankfully).

I am expecting dc2, and I guess more conscious of names around me!

Mortal Kombat! Ahhh, those were the days

I have a lovely friend Reidun who is Norwegian

English folks tend to pronounce that Raydon although her DH pronounces it more like rye don.

Have you just heard the name or seen it written down?
Is the person Scandinavian?

I know a Raydon and a Raijin.

Raydon always reminded me of the gas.
