i like Caiden it was the one of the two names we had chosen for my son who ended up being a Jacob lol.

as another poster said i think it has some kind of welsh conection so not made up

yummymummie1 · 10/05/2010 19:41

oh ryt! my first is jacob he hee, yes i shall find out more about this welsh connection as i had seen it as arabic so bit confused but thanks for all the comments! x

from what i can see caiden is a varient of kayden which is arabic

and caden is a varient of cade which is welsh

and we like it spelt caiden not that it makes much difference!

Too fashionable - names like thos go in and out of fashion too quickly.

Caiden does sound made up very chavvy.

Caleb sounds very biblical-way more than Jacob somehow.
Out of the 2 I would go with Caleb but neither conjures up positive images, sorry.

I like it, ym1, it means "little warrior".

yummymummie1 · 10/05/2010 21:11

thanks magic mountain and mum in the middle as previously stated- it is not made up lol!

if we had a boy, it would've of been Caleb

Rockbird · 10/05/2010 21:14

Caiden/Kayden is the Jason of its time. Will date very quickly.

Don't like Kaden Jayden Laydon Shmaydon names.

Caleb is a nice name though.

AndieWalsh · 10/05/2010 21:19

Caleb

Well, we have decided on Caleb if it's a boy so I vote that way...guess I am a bit biassed though! Good luck making the decision

yummymummie1 · 10/05/2010 22:27
