How would you pronounce Kaiden?

A friend had a New Year baby and she's calling him Kaiden according to the birth announcement. How would you pronounce it? I'm not sure if it's pronounced like Kyden or Kayden?

Like maiden?

K den

Kay-den, I think, although it could be Kai-den. But I think my first instinct would be Kay-den.

Kay Done

I've taught lots of children with this name and it's never once been pronounced Kai Done.

Kay den but always best to check if you aren't sure. I say that because I have heard the name before but I couldn't be sure that it doesn't have more than one pronunciation.

Ka-eden

I would assume Kayden (I have a brother called Aidan though so that might be why) but I can see it going the other way.

Thank you all.

Kay den
That's how the ones I know say their name.

Iamkmackered1979 · 07/01/2022 14:32

I have an aiden
I say it kay den but I suppose it also depends on your accent how it’s said. Never heard kaydun or one
Jayden is a similar one

StopStartStop · 07/01/2022 14:34

Kayd'n, Hayd'n and Jayd'n.

Kay-dun

BalladOfBarryAndFreda · 07/01/2022 14:39

Actually, yes as @StopStartStop says more nasal at the end so d’n rather dun

maddy68 · 07/01/2022 14:41

Kay done

JeSuis · 07/01/2022 14:42

Rhymes with maiden (I would guess)

CinnamonCrumble · 07/01/2022 14:46

Thank you all. I thought that Kayden was more likely but I haven't encountered the name before so I wasn't sure.

If you go to Google Translate and put enter Kaiden (in the English part) you can click on the speaker and hear it said. Kaiden

Ikeabag · 07/01/2022 14:59

I know it's probably Kay but whenever I read it I think it rhymes with sky. Kai on its own is pronounced that way I think.
