I can't believe how rude or uneducated people are'

^ your words.

Anyway, you were clearly looking for people to tell you they love Jadon. They don't. I'm not even sure why I'm bothering commenting so I'll stop now-you seem to have an answer for everything🙄

Alfieee · 21/09/2017 18:17

Yes I did say that but I didn't say that to people who were saying it would be confused with Jayden Hmm I wasn't actually. Why would I? I have a slight preference for Noah. DH has a slight preference for Jadon.

Jadon is just awful

Biscuitsneeded · 21/09/2017 20:02

Noah. Without wishing to reignite debate, Jadon appears... controversial at best!

CPtart · 21/09/2017 20:18

Well Matthew is nice. Just go with that.
Noah is my most hated boys name, but I reluctantly prefer it to Jadon.

Alfieee · 21/09/2017 20:26

@CPtart I'm not naming my son the same name as my dad. It's odd.

OP you seem quite defensive/sensitive about your name choices, so maybe asking for opinions wasn't the best idea! WinkI agree with everyone else about Jadon but if you feel strongly about it then just go with what you want to do.

CPtart · 21/09/2017 20:38

I disagree.
Pick what you want.

@buttercup54321 why Jaiden?

BuzzKillington · 22/09/2017 00:12

Noah is definitely the better of the 2.

Jadon is atrocious.

mogulfield · 22/09/2017 00:24

I'm a Christian and have never heard of Jadon, so I'm more uneducated than the others! And I do read my bible with (relative) frequency.
Noah is a lovely name Smile
As for some of the comments on here that have obviously upset you, can I recommend Ephesians 4:31 Smile

Amatree · 22/09/2017 06:39

I went to Catholic school with lots of bible reading and have never heard of Jadon. That may make me uneducated but the fact is most people won't have heard of it and will associate it as an alternative spelling of Jayden, thus making a chavvy name chavvier. Sorry but you did ask the Internet for opinions! Glad to see you're going with Noah - may be quite common but I think it's lovely.

PandorasXbox · 22/09/2017 06:53

I don't believe that you didn't have the first clue that Jadon would not go down well on MN OP.

Poor Jadon would have to explain his entire life that ' it's pronounced Jahdon not Jayden and it's a biblical name, so there '

I don't see how you haven't thought this. It's most odd.

thegreylady · 22/09/2017 07:15

Noah Matthew sounds great but Jadon is more unusual.
I don't know where people are finding all the Jaydens and Kaydens. In 73 years of life 40 of which were spent as a teacher I have never met one child or adult with those names. I have known two Noahs.
