Jaylen

[heretofindaname]

Hi there. Our 2nd son is due in a few weeks. We are liking Jaylen - I don't want to ask family (I made that mistake last time) so I found this site!

Thank you in advance. Our 1st son is Clayden. Are they too similar?

Thanks xxx

I, too, know a Jaylen. However, he, and his family, live in America - I think it's more known there

Go and stand at your back door and yell both names together a few times.

They are too similar. And hard to say together.

Just Jay would be fine though.

Could you label him Jeremy Leonard in full, then Jay-Len could be a nickname?

But I think in practice it's far too like Clayden in day to day use.

Too similar.

How about Kai? Or Jesse?

I do know someone who has a son called jalen and it is double barrelled with the name jase.

I think it is a made up name

It sounds a bit too similar to 'Jailin' (the fashion for wearing ones trousers low so ones pants are showing).

Jalen-Jase
The mind boggles

I know someone with an Aiden and a Jaylen. Never heard of Clayden before.

Not my type of names but definitely too similar (if this is not a joke thread!)

It's horrible.

Plus it sounds like 'Jail and'.

Which is a bit unfortunate as it kind of sounds like the name of someone who might end up in one.

If you must make up your own unique scrabblebag name, at least make it sound pleasant. 'Jaylen' is hideous.

"Scrabble bag" name

Ha! I have never heard that one before!

Erm, OP, I think Jaylen is too similar to Clayden

We could devise a yooneek name generator.

Select a first syllable:

Kay
Jay
Bray
Bry
Hay
Jax
Ty
Ry
Mac

Select a second syllable:

den
len
son
sen
lee
ler
dee
ce

Tydee, Jayler, Ryce and Jaxce are among my personal faves. Too cute.

I know a sweet little boy called Jaylen.

I've never confused his name with Jayden. Probably because I have one of those myself!

LadyMonica and others, it's not necessary to be quite so mean to the OP.

You know all those threads about nasty bullies? Re-read your posts- you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Yeah they sound really similar. I'm not keen. Do you want a name beginning with J in particular?
