Caden?

[ElEmEn]

DMIL is Cadence, so it's nice for that reason too.

Opinions?

Don't think the name will go down well on mumsnet.
I wouldn't use this name but can understand the family link which I think is lovely. Can you use as middle name?

Not a fan

Sounds like a product name

Nothing wrong with it in itself but it's a big ubiquitous. Every second little boy these days seems to be some variant of Cayden/Jayden etc.

I think it's lovely.

It's one you hear screeched. Usually belongs to a mullet haired boy with an earring. Awful. Truly awful.

Horrid. No.

Nope

I quite like it actually, especially with the family connection and no 'y'
I don't know any Caydens so it doesn't hold any connotation for me.

No. Absolutely not. Can't help but think you already know that though!

Agree with tigger. Also sounds like a detergent.

No sorry

I like it - but then again I don't like half the names that seem to be popular on here

Sorry, no. I also agree with Tigger.

In our road we have a Caden, Hayden and a Jayden. I don't like any of them (little shits that they are)

Cade?

I read before that registers with the names 'Cayden, Hayden and Jayden' make teachers' hearts sink. Always the naughty boys, apparently.

I like Cadence, but I don't like Caden, not least because if I heard it I might think it was Aiden and even if I heard correctly I wouldn't know how to spell it.

chavtastic, sorry.

As you may have guessed it's not really a MN name, we have friends in Cornwall who name their ds Cadan as it is a Cornish name.

It won't get a very good reception on here, but that really doesn't matter. If you like the name go for it.

There are worse names.

Its it as if you're spelling it Cayden and it has family significance.

You won't feel any love for it here but fwiw it wouldn't effect a raised eyebrow from me.

Horrible in my opinion, sorry.

I know a Kayden, a Cayden and a Caeden and they are all lovely boys from a variety of backgrounds. I think it's a great name.

I'm sorry but it's a no from me too, for the reasons given above.

People will make assumptions because as you've seen classism is a real issue with names. Caden type names are considered working class which obviously also means poorly behaved and badly parented
Having said that I don't like Caden just because it doesn't look like a finished name. It isn't a variant of cadence so that link is a bit tenuous.

I'm not a fan, I much prefer your spelling to the more usual Kaiden though.

Our primary is awash with Jayden/Kayden/Braydon etc, I think it will date horribly as a name & be the Gary of the future!

Plus as you can see here, some people do ascribe socio-economic status to a name....
