WDYT of Cade?

I’m normally more of a traditionalist but I’ve fallen in love. It sounds great with our surname, as well as our chosen middle name which is my fathers name.

Any initial thoughts?

I don't like it.

@BetsyBobbins , it is - Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica. Don't the brazilians have their own words for my hairbrush? Smile

I think of Cade’s Rebellion of 1450 (though that was a surname).

I think you might get people mishearing and thinking the name is Cain/Kane, if that bothers you.

I only know it as a surname so it just sounds like one of those Americanised last names as first names.

I know one Kade. Mid 30's and a swinger.

I don't really like it. I don't know what its origin is though.

A cade is an orphan lamb 🤷‍♀️

But it takes all sorts. He could be friends with little Kylian on the other thread

😂

Is it Cade as in rhymes with made / fade or is it Cay-dee?

(Neither are good!)

ChateauDuMont · 15/12/2023 20:45

Horrible.

He'll be asked by other children if it's short for Arcade.

Spirallingdownwards · 15/12/2023 20:47

Awful. (as you asked)

KirstenBlest · 15/12/2023 20:51

He would be 'R Cade where I'm from!

That's an acronym for that organisation. Cadê (with the accent on the e) is a word that can substitute "where is it", so you can either say "cadê my toothbrush?" or "where is my toothbrush?", both sentences meaning the same.

Oh, and it's a ridiculous word for a name

Truly awful.

Trez1510 · 15/12/2023 23:10

Not keen.

Mostly due to having met one at work.

He was a young adult. He was also the most arrogant, demanding and entitled man-child I have ever encountered.
