Imo definitely Gideon :)!

Gideon

Rockaby · 01/04/2017 19:30

I love Gideon and really don't like Jadon personally. So, Gideon for me!

ArriettyClock1 · 01/04/2017 19:35

Jadon is massively unpopular in here, so Gideon is the better of the 2 (but not my cup of tea).

Gallavich · 01/04/2017 19:36

Neither. Jadon is naff and Gideon is osbourne

Joinourclub · 01/04/2017 19:36

Gideon a million times over.

Gideon is slightly better but reminds me of George Osborne.

Jadon is silly, made-up and ugly.
Gideon is pretentious and ugly.

How bout Jadeon?

ChippyMinton · 01/04/2017 19:39

They are polar opposites - I think you need to decide what impression you are going for...

Itaintme · 01/04/2017 19:39

Jadon.

But most on here will choose Gideon even if they hate it.

BackforGood · 01/04/2017 19:42

Not even sure how you'd pronounce Jadon ?

NoArmaniNoPunani · 01/04/2017 19:44

Jadon is a biblical name. It's as made up as Noah Hmm

user1491070688 · 01/04/2017 19:45

Boris how is it made-up?

Salty I'm not messing with the spelling.

Jadon is a different name from Jayden. It's a biblical name and not made up.

I don't like either though!🙈what about Gullies or Julian?

Lugeeta · 01/04/2017 19:50

*Gulliver

notanothernamechangebabes · 01/04/2017 20:00

Gideon is George Osbornes real name. It's so poncey even he had to change it. And he's not one to hide his poshoness. It's a very punchable sort of name IMO.

And Jayden is a bit..... of the moment? I don't think it will age v well. Also makes me think of will smiths awful and rather strange child.

What about Gabriel (Gabe)? It's got similar sounds to your picks, but more angelic association Grin

notanothernamechangebabes · 01/04/2017 20:01

Sorry misread Jadon: Jayden.

Still not a huge fan sadly...

Jacob? If you like biblical names?

scrivette · 01/04/2017 20:02

Gideon.

HeadDreamer · 01/04/2017 20:18

Jadon is a blibical name. But urban dictionary gives a sex god definition of it. I'm not up with urban slangs so not sure how widely use is it?

HeadDreamer · 01/04/2017 20:18

And yes I'd think of Jayden if you use Jadon

HeadDreamer · 01/04/2017 20:20

Gideon reminds me of Osborne too. Sorry.

mrsBeverleygoldberg · 01/04/2017 20:29

Gideon is awful. Just no.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 01/04/2017 21:22

If I had to make a choice Jadon by a country mile and even that's awful
Gideon is ghastly. It just makes me think of that fucking 'thing'. I've got to much respect for my cheap tatty £7.99 per month tesco phone to say his name

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 01/04/2017 21:23

Or rather to write his name
