Caden?

[ElEmEn]

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

Opinions?

Def no. Sorry.

My friend has a 9, (maybe 10?) yr old DS called Caden. She thought it was an unusual, Irish heritage choice. Wouldn't really talk to me about it when I was having mine and debating names, clearly she isn't happy with the popularity of it in recent years and as a lot of people have remarked above, the socio-economic connotations it has now.

Oh dear, okay. That's really sad! I liked it.

Thanks all

Don't be ridiculous. It's not working class. That's insulting to the working classes. How patronising that you think all the working class are the sort to screech and pierce their children.

Nah. Every kayden/ cayden i know has been awful

I didn't imply it in the slightest. I don't see or think that working class people are like that, but if you do, that's your view.

I have a Caden

He is 11 ...it suits him but tbh it has become a little bit ....don't wanna use the word...but common

I reckon I live in onedaftmonkeys street

No. If I'd felt it i'd say it. I don't believe it's the case.

I'm really surprised by people saying that it's not a MN name?
I'm very curious now as to what a MN name is?

I think it's fine. Might get misheard as Hayden, Aidan though.

I think it is very much implied on here that the Jayden, Cadan type names are way too working class and simply not high court judge material. You can tell by the sneezy tone of the posts.
Op, honestly go for it if you like it. Don't let MN put you off a name if you like it.

Sorry, but it is a bit chavvy

^and that's a bit cunty^^

With that spelling are you having a girl? That's what I would think.

It's horrific, absolutely horrific.

Horrific!! lol

Tbh I quite having a kid with a name that middle class wannabe snooty twats get judgey about !! Lol

atruth beat me to it, was going to suggest Cade as well! It sounds nice but I think as pp have said it is a popular sounding name with many many Jayden's etc in my neck of the woods! I know a Cayden too.

I know of one Jayden, one Aiden and one Cadan. All different ages (one miles away). Our area is very multicultural though so we have lots of Mohammeds, Sergios, Vicktors etc. Having an issue with popular names really depends on where you live.
