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?

Kai and Kay are different so honestly, who knows how she thinks it's pronounced.

I speak as someone who changed how I pronounced DD's name 5 days after birth. Not yoonique, just that there are two ways and I changed from the English to the French.

I read it as Ky-den (rhymes with sky) but recognise I might be in the minority here! Grin

There was a game that came out maybe 10 years ago with a spirit character called Aidan, pronounced to rhyme with skydan. I prefer that pronuncuation but I'm fairly sure it would be constantly pronounced the 'kay' way. The game was American, I wonder whether it's more common in the US?

It doesn’t matter how it’s pronounced. It’s absolutely dreadful! It’s the Kevin, Shane and Clive of our time!
