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

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.

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
