Caden or Elliot?

[StephenandAnna]

Hello

This is my 1st post, so hi!

Our son is almost 6 weeks old - we know that it's terrible!

We are struggling to pick between Caden or Elliot.

Is Caden likely to get Kayden (hate this spelling)? Is Elliot likely to get Elliott?

Our daughter is called Maddie (Madison on BC) and often gets Maddy/Maddison and it's a bit annoying, so would be nice to avoid. It's definitely not the end of the world though!

Thank you for any replies

Elliot.

But I'm biased

Elliott.

But then I hate Kayden and it would never cross my mind for it being done with a C.

(Someone will be along in a second tonwarn you about mumsnet snobbery about kaden jaden names)

Elliot - but I'm biased as well

Elliot.

Oh, and you will always get Elliott. Just be prepared!

Elliot, although I personally prefer the spelling Elliott.

I think Caden is a much nicer spelling - same with Elliot (Elliot's the original!)

Elliot

My Elliot sometimes gets Elliott, but not from anyone that matters.

I think it's a cracking name. He's 19 and I still love it.

If spelling is going to drive you mad, there's also Ellis (?)

Elliot.

All of the ones I know spell it Elliott though, so I would prepare for people to confuse the spellings. I do prefer Elliot though.

Elliot, definitely. Although I do like the Caden spelling.

Ethan is a great name too (just a suggestion)

We are very close friends with a family and their surname is Ellis, so I don't really see it as a name, but thank you for the suggestion.

We do like Ethan, but just not enough

Thank you for the replies!

Caden seems to similar to Stephanie Davis' sons name. Enough said. Elliot every time.

Elliot. I'm with Maisiopops.

Elliot, definitely

Anything but Caden.

I strongly dislike Kayden, but I do think Caden is quite nice. Unfortunately I do think people will assume the Kayden spelling and all the connetations which unfortunately come with it 😕

I know an Elliot who constantly gets Elliott, so again, yes I think this name is likely to get misspelt but it's not as drastic a difference as Cadences/Kayden

Caleb?
Eli/Elijah?

*Caden not Cadences stupid autocorrect

Elliot.

Elliot but personally I'd spell it Elliott

Elliot, definitely. There's also Elijah, Eli, Elias or Ellery if you like 'El' names.

I do know a child called Elvis, but this might not be to your taste!

Elliot although I would spell it Elliott tbh

There's loads of very popular names that have multiple spellings (both traditionally and yoo-nique)

Elliot.
