Which do you prefer??

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Aidan is best of the three.

I'd avoid using Cayden and Hayden for the reasons pp have posted above including assuming the chav spellings caydyn / Haydn Hmm

No name should end dn imo

TheDowagerCuntess · 04/06/2017 10:52

Yeah, what is with Haydn?

The OP didn't suggest that spelling.

I'd pronounce that as Hy-din, like the composer.

There's a few people on mn, op, who don't recognise as valid any name that isn't traditionally used in England and spelled and prounounced in an English way.

I actually really like the name Hayden spelt either Haydn/Hayden but I understand it's perceived as a bit 'down market'.

Aidan is a fine Saints name and you can't go wrong with it in my opinion. I don't see it in anyway part of the Jayden/Cayden/Brayden trend.

I know right?

And apparently Haydn is a "chav spelling" Confused.

Right you are then.

TheVanguardSix · 04/06/2017 12:33

You forgot to add Jayden to the list OP.

harderandharder2breathe · 04/06/2017 12:35

Hayden but not a fan of any of them really

TheVanguardSix · 04/06/2017 12:36

Haydn is the name of the Austrian composer, by the way.
Pronounced 'Hi-Den'.

Aiden/Aidan is a lovely name

The other two not so much

It's a bit odd to ask for opinions on names and then get offended when those opinions are given Confused

Callum and Aaron are similar

Squishedstrawberry4 · 04/06/2017 21:15

What about Dan or Daniel

Squishedstrawberry4 · 04/06/2017 21:16

I adore Austin
