How would you spell Jayden for a girl?

[awdrgyjil]

Just that really!

I'm not sure it really matter, I think they're the same spas I have a little boy called Jayden however, whilst at playgroup, I met a little girl with the name spelt the same.

What a horrible thread!

Do you all feel good about piling in and slagging off the op?
Once one or two people have made the point re it being a boys name and not liking it then it verges on bullying to keep saying it in more and more patronising terms.

Just spell it Jayden.

Jaydenetta?

Jaydena?

J'aydenne

Actually, I'd leave out the Jayden altogether and go for any one of the million other names that are much nicer aren't it.

I'd rather be the only Jaydenne/Jaiden/Jayden in my peer group than the fifteenth Amelia.

It has that going for it at least OP.

She'll never be Jayden (insert surname or initial)

I'd rather be neither.

I hope you achieved that then at least Sir

Yes - my parents found that it's not too hard to go for something in the vast middle ground between Jaydenne and the 15th Amelia

I know a Jaydee and a Jaydene.

Good for you Sir.
I suppose it helped that you were presumably born and named at least twenty years ago.

OP I know a Jodene. South African lady, very lovely and cultured (classy and polite)
May I suggest Jaydene?

Indeed - and I'll pass on your good thoughts to my parents Miss

Ok, trying to not be rude or bullying - I don't think any of the 'feminine' spellings really work. Jaydene alters the pronounciation. Jaydenne puts the stress on the last syllable.

I don't think there is a female spelling of Jayden (which is a variation on the biblical name Jadon).

Jade Anne is the best suggestion.

Jaeden probably. Dislike it though on either sex.

Jayden is an awful name.

Jade is nice, though. Or Jane, Janine, Jadzia?

I have a boy called Jayden, please don't call a girl it. She would be badly teased!

She'll never be Jayden (insert surname or initial)

No, she'll be "girl Jayden" as in "Not Jayden M or Jayden L, but the female one, yeah, I know, weird name for a girl, isn't it?...."

So much better.

I think the tone of the thread is set by incredulity rather than being obnoxious. Choosing a boys name and spelling it differently just so you can use it for a girl is a strange premise isn't it?

It's just very strange.

I love traditionally masculine names for girls. But more Harry as a nn for Harriet or Stevie type names where it's not a case of just blatantly using a boys name.

My niece has a boys name. However, they spell it the same. Not my cup of tea but at least she will only have to explain the one idiosyncracy for the rest of her life.

Incredulity.

So, thats the modern euphemism for acting like an ill mannered snob is it?

Thanks for the heads up.

I hardly suppose that an OP asking for advice on an alternative spelling of Sidney for their daughter would have garnered such flagrant sanctimony.

Why is it that Jayden is fair game? I wonder

Jayden is fine, maybe Jaden. Girls with boys or unisex names statistically have better life outcomes.

No. In my case I acted with incredulity just as I said. I am neither a snob nor ill mannered and I made no comment on the name Jayden.

Some people were obnoxious of course, thus has the Internet ever been. The vast majority were honest or helpful. It is remarkable that somebody would use a boys name for a girl. It simply is.

Do they Disillunsioned? Can you link to those?

Really Anarchist? Where did you get that nugget from?
I would love to see the reliable longitudinal study that has followed the entire lives of a large number of girls with boys names.

I don't think Jayden is an awful name but IMO it is a boys name, and your daughter wouldn't have a great time being at school with a typically boys name and possibly being in the same class as male Jaydens.

If I were you I would go for Jade or Jada, which are both lovely and as her nn would be Jade anyway, I think would work out better for her in the long run.
