Aidan, Caden or Hayden

[Laurajonesy]

Which do you prefer??

Caden (without any y) is hard to know how to pronounce. And I've never met one (teacher)

Caden but prefer Jaiden

Hayden

None

None.

But if my life depended on it Aiden

Hayden. I do like Aidan but knew a guy called Aidan that said "just call me Aids" kind of put me off.

Wouldn't choose any of them. If I had to, Aiden.

Aidan is by far the least, um.... chavvy

At the suggestion of Aiden-Cayden

Aidan is lovely and an old saint's name - shame it has been tarred with the Jayden brush!

Hayden is also an old name around here - was name of dp's grandad who would have been over ninety! I like it but unfortunately it will now be lumped in with brayden/ Jayden etc.

Caden is awful.

Aidan.

Both myself and my dp are half Welsh! In fact his last name is probably one of the most commen Welsh surnames you can have! I was asking because we like all 3 and wanted some fresh perspective! All three of these names are common Welsh names however we live in England! So of these comments are shocking tbh not everyone likes the same names surely it's ok to like names others don't???

Common not commen lol

Aidan but am biased. Chosen to reflect Irish heritage.

I wish it wasn't grouped with Jayden/Caiden.

Didn't realise it wasn't a munsnet approved name. 😭

I honestly didn't know "approved" names existed! I didn't expect to be ridiculed for my baby name choices 😂

I get really arsey when Aidan is lumped in with Jayden/Caden and all those other names. No, it's an actual name, there's a fucking saint and everything! In fact the story of St Aidan is quite special.

Aidan is the least chavvy

You just be new here.

I am!! It's put me off tbh I had no idea people could be so judgemental towards a stranger

Aiden.
However all those names are so overused and tbh a bit common, I'd want to avoid using them.

I think some people are easily confused by the fact that Aidan rhymes with the others.

Hayden is lovely, I like surnamey names.

Not keen on Caden.

Aidan is a beautiful, classic Irish name and the pick of the bunch.

OP I would change your username on here if it's your real name.

Hayden

You have asked for opinions and people have given them!
