Noah.

I'd assume that Jadon was an alternative spelling of Jayden, which is a dreadful name.

Ummmmgogo · 21/09/2017 07:16

i like Noah. I like Jayden. Jadon looks like a misspelling of Jayden so I'm not keen. he's your baby op, ignore us and pick your favourite.

Noah is in the bible!
Pretty classic by any definition surely?
Jaydon is horrible
In my opinion
.....Which you asked for

This ^^

What on earth is Jadon? That's really awful, please don't use that.

Noah is so cute!

I agree with Olivia.

Jadon is like one of those names where they have gone to register the baby as Jaydon at the registrar but can't spell so end up with a makey upper.

Don't do it.

eyebrowsonfleek · 21/09/2017 07:27

I know that Jadon is actually a legitimate biblical name but it’s going to get mixed up with the Jaiden/Jaidan/Jaydon/Jaidn/Cayden/Brayden name which has a reputation as a very naughty child with Jeremy Kyle parents.

DurhamDurham · 21/09/2017 07:30

Noah is lovely though trying to be positive Smile

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 21/09/2017 07:34

Matthew's nice

starryskies78 · 21/09/2017 07:36

Grin Eyebrows, a perfect definition of Jaydon /Kayden et al. Poor kids!

Op I do prefer Noah.

I believe though Jadon is pronounced Jah-don but think it's likely to get pronounced Jaydon with so many around which is a shame.

bigfatbumfreak · 21/09/2017 07:48

Noah.

Jadon sounds like a toilet cleaner.

Sorry, Smile

Nandostodayplease · 21/09/2017 07:51

Jadon is very "chavy " where I live, so Noah is better from my point of view. I'm not keen on Noah either though to be honest Grin

MyOtherProfile · 21/09/2017 07:55

Noah is definitely more classic than Jadon. I know both are old biblical names but Jadon has different connotations because of Jayden which is definitely not a classic name.
So Noah all the way.

pipilangstrumpf · 21/09/2017 08:14

I find Noah quite faddy actually and think it’s going to start to fall out of favour and sound dated. I also don’t particularly like the sound of it (like a whiny no).

Jadon would be more interesting and masculine imo. So that would be my choice (if I had to choose)

2014newme · 21/09/2017 08:20

Noah
Jadon is chavvy

MammieBear · 21/09/2017 08:21

Noah not jadon

gunsandbanjos · 21/09/2017 08:23

Unfortunately Jadon does fall into the chav bucket and Noah’s are ten a penny.
Neither would be on my list.

2014newme · 21/09/2017 08:26

Yes ideally neither but of the two, noah whilst showing a distinct lack of coming up with anything better, is better than Jadon.

You've time to really give it more thought though. There are loads of noah at school.

ShotsFired · 21/09/2017 08:30

If OP is religious and moves in circles where people will know the biblical version of Jadon, it may work.

If she is not she will def get lumped in with the Jaydens/Kaydens. Although tbh society will do that anyway.

Noah is also hugely over used at the moment, such a trendy name.

But as I say, if the OP has strong religious connections she may not mind either being fashionable or Jeremey Kyle'd!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 21/09/2017 08:32

Noah.

Definitely not Jadon

Brokenbiscuit · 21/09/2017 08:36

I really don't like either but Noah is definitely better than Jadon, which is horrible imho. Matthew, on the other hand, is quite nice.

17caterpillars1mouse · 21/09/2017 08:37

Definitely Noah

saritah · 21/09/2017 09:01

Agree Noah is really faddy and not a fan personally (hums "Who built the Ark?") but it's better than Jadon. As people have said, it just looks like an alternative spelling of Jayden. It's just not worth all the misspelling and mispronunciation.

AmysTiara · 21/09/2017 09:16

Not Jadon. It's awful.

I'd definitely go with Noah
