Aidan

[JollyGreenLemur]

What do you think of the name Aidan?

I don't know why but I've always thought it sounds a bit unfinished. Like it should have been Adrian but someone forgot some letters. That's probably just a me thing though. I like Ethan though.

Aidan Abet?

I like it! It's my brother's name. He hated it as a child as it was so unusual then, but likes it now. I much prefer it to Adrian.

I have an Aidan, everyone spells it Aiden drives me mad

Really like it, lovely Irish name.

Gorgeous!

I like it.

Love it, only know 1 who is 17

SATC

Would have chosen it for 1st if a boy but had a girl, so she’s Ada

Lovely, historical name.

It’s my lovely husbands name! Like @AndresyFiorella he hated it as a child but it suits him so well. Like the original Aidan of Lindisfarne he is a kind and gentle man.

Aidan is one of my sons in law, lovely kind gentle man.
Name means little fire/fiery one 🤣

I always think an Aidan is going to be a lovely, kind person. No idea why, just has that vibe for me.
So yes, I like it!

I like it. Makes me think of both St Aidan and Aidan from SATC. My favourite of carrie’s love interests! Very sweet but also manly. Good name

I really like it. I agree with PP, it somehow manages to sound rather sweet but masculine at the same time. I’d expect an Aidan to be a decent chap.

Hi @JollyGreenLemur
It's a perfectly lovely name plus it sounds great whatever age you are, baby right through to adulthood. If you like it that's ALL that matters.

Love it! It’s not weird but it’s not popular, perfect combo!

Lovely name.

I know a real charmer called Aidan. Knows a lot of ladies if you catch my drift

I've always liked Aidan, and also the Irish spelling Aodhán. Lovely name.

I think it’s a really nice name.

That would be the sole potential drawback for me. Otherwise a fine classic.

Aodhán isn’t usually pronounced the same way though.

No, you're right, it's not. I should have said that in my post.
