Thank you very much.

One is chavvy and one is pretentious, so neither.

user1487175389 · 01/04/2017 21:26

Please not Gideon - that's awful Rob Archer's fake & pretentious name for his son Jack.

Jooni · 01/04/2017 22:22

Gideon

Is it really GO's real name? Shock You learn something new every day...

DramaAlpaca · 01/04/2017 22:41

Gideon if I absolutely had to choose.

Notso · 01/04/2017 22:53

How is Jadon pronounced?

HeadDreamer · 01/04/2017 22:55

Yes it is George Osborne real name. As someone already said upthread, he needs a more normal name because Gideon sounds like a twat.

DorcasthePuffin · 01/04/2017 22:55

I like your names, OP! But it seems that I may be the only one...

podrig · 01/04/2017 23:10

My impressions only.....

Gideon is so awful even the awful Osborne couldn't stick it

Jadon is chavvy, regardless of what bible it came from/how you want to spell it. These two are like polar opposites. I think I would rather everyone think my baby was a chav than a Gideon though, if you put a gun to my head.

ScarletSienna · 01/04/2017 23:14

I don't really like them but Jadon is marginally better I think. Gid/Giddy would be awful nns!

Joeybee · 01/04/2017 23:16

Gideon. Jadon is too much like the over-popular Jayden, Caiden, Aiden names.

relaxo · 01/04/2017 23:16

Are Jadon and Jaiden/Jayden pronounced the same?

Gideon is George Osborne's real name.

relaxo · 01/04/2017 23:18

Aiden is no way in the same category as Jaiden/Kayden,l/Brayden.

TitaniasCloset · 01/04/2017 23:21

Jadon. Nice name.

They are just disliking it in here because Gideon us more typically middle class. Don't be swayed by that.

MistressMolecules · 01/04/2017 23:22

Gideon, although does make me think of Gideon from Criminal Minds (the criminal psychologist) not George Osbourne. I really am not keen at all on Jadon.

MummyTo42017 · 01/04/2017 23:23

relaxo - posters normally say 'Aidan' isn't but Aiden is.

HoratioNightboy · 01/04/2017 23:23

See, I like Jadon. I don't see that it's any worse than Jacob or Jamie, and not in the Kayden/Brayden league at all.

Gideon, though... yup, Osborne.

Have you consudered Judas? Grin

Whathaveilost · 01/04/2017 23:23

Go with your heart!

I hate all this thing on MN about putting names down and calling them 'chavy' or ''poncy'. I used to think the same many years ago but a combination and expierence has taught me to be open minded.

SuperBeagle · 01/04/2017 23:24

Jadon.

But people will associate it with Jayden, rightly or wrongly.

ClaryBeanHorshAndMe · 01/04/2017 23:24

I think Fabian would be lovely. Or John.

Ojoj1974 · 01/04/2017 23:25

Gideon. Jadon is positively horrendous! In a baby book I once had Jadon was a 'bell tone' name

Ohyesiam · 01/04/2017 23:30

Neither

Sophronia · 02/04/2017 00:45

Jadon. I don't like the "giddy" sound in Gideon.

hoddtastic · 02/04/2017 00:47

both are really bad for different reasons.

Pigwitch · 02/04/2017 00:49

Both horrid

fandabbydozier · 02/04/2017 00:52

Neither. Not keen on either OP sorry!
