Definitely Lewis, dislike Hayden, sorry.
How about Lewis Hayden.

Loopytiles · 09/03/2017 18:29

Congratulations!

Very similar genre of names: dislike both!

Rockaby · 09/03/2017 18:37

Congratulations! Flowers

I am a big fan of the name Lewis. Definitely would go for that.

Lewis. I dislike all the Hayden/Jayden/Kaiden names. I like a nice solid Scottish name.

graciestocksfield · 10/03/2017 02:34

They are the names of two little boys I know who are bullies and badly behaved at school and I wouldn't recommend either, personally.

graciestocksfield · 10/03/2017 02:39

Sorry, that came across more blunt than I meant it to. Lewis is much nicer, especially if there is a Scottish link.

KoalaDownUnder · 10/03/2017 03:31

Lewis. Don't like Hayden at all.

YouCanDoThis · 10/03/2017 03:57

Congratulations. Honestly though? They are both names that teachers dread seeing in their register. Are there any other names you like?

Littlelegs19 · 10/03/2017 04:19

Ah congratulations!

Umm... I know both a Lewis and a Hayden and unfortunately they aren't great people so I can't get excited about either name I'm afraid but if I was to pick it would be Lewis

Rockaby · 10/03/2017 06:46

I know a few people called Lewis (all Scottish) and definitely don't think of it as the same sort of genre as Hayden. Maybe it is in England? I live in England now but was in Scotland before. Anyway, I much prefer Lewis as I think of it as a solid, Scottish name as a pp said.

MiniMaxi · 10/03/2017 08:10

I like Lewis!

ToastVacuum · 10/03/2017 10:25

I prefer Lewis of the two.

Do you like Aidan? I prefer it to Hayden and Lewis.

Whatslovegottodo · 10/03/2017 10:35

Congratulations. Flowers

I know some lovely boys called Lewis so don't let people put you off. Teachers don't 'dread' seeing names in my experiences.

BlueChampagne · 10/03/2017 12:26

Like Lewis and second the suggestion of Aidan. One name with geography and the other with history!

mum2be2boys · 10/03/2017 12:49

I prefer Lewis, but also like previous suggestion of Aiden.

Ps, as a teacher I don't dread seeing any names in a register! I've taught children called both Lewis and Haiden, some lovely and some not so! The name doesn't influence the character in my experience!

Nancy91 · 10/03/2017 12:57

Another vote for Lewis Smile

spiderlight · 10/03/2017 13:02

Lewis or Aidan!
