What are your opinions on the name 'Hayden'?

[SilverStones123]

Hello Mumsnetters,

Our little boy arrived yesterday morning.

What are your opinions on Hayden George?

We think it's nice, but would like some opinions first!

If your baby is already here and you've already named him then go for it! Dont ask mumsnet now or someone will make you sad by saying they don't like it

It's better than the grim Jayden/ Cayden trend that's unfortunately hanging around.

Wouldn't be top of my list but it's ok.

The spelling of Hadyn is a traditional Welsh baby name.

It might be traditional, but I'm afraid it blends in with all the Jayden/Kayden/Brayden names for me. Sorry!

I do like George - and congratulations on your baby boy! :)

I prefer it Haydn, as blank said.

I don't like -ayden sounding names, sorry.

I hate Jayden, Caden, Brayden, etc. but Hayden is ok. Maybe because I actually know one though.

Congratulations

Aww congratulations on Hayden people will hate it so dont listen its a fine name

Really not very nice, personally.

George is lovely

Haydn, if you're Welsh - fine.
Hayden - awful, and will date, badly.
Sorry.

Oh, and if that makes me a snotty idiot, guilty as charged.

It's my surname!

I always say (unless it's something like Crapbag) if you love the name then use it.

Me too Het, snotty as fuck

Join me on the twat bench

Depends where u live. We're north and know a Hayden and the h is always dropped. Congratulations

Shuffle up on the twat bench, I'm joining you!

I like it.

I know a lovely Hayden.

Congrats, OP! Hayden George is a great name.

Not my top favourite but ok. Has been around much longer than similar names with the exception of Aiden (which I personally prefer) and is a quiet solid name. Goes nicely with the George.
Hope you'll all be very happy.

I wouldn't spell it Haydn, because it will get pronounced as High-dnn like the composer.

I like it .
Congratulations on your new arrival :)

Congratulations OP 💐
I prefer George Hayden.

Congratulations OP

If you like it, use it - my DH's best mate is called Hayden and he's a top bloke. I also know a 10 year old and he's a complete nightmare. But I can also say this about lots of names.

He'll be your Hayden and that's all that matters.
