The name Jayden

Wasn't heard of before late 2004.
Well, was.. but not nearly as much.

I named my son Jayden.

and now it's like the 'most typical' name lol.. along with the Hayden, Kaden, Ayden.

What do you think about it?

I used to babysit a boy named Jayden when I was in high school. At that time he was the only one I had ever met with the name. He is 8 years old now.
I don't know how the name became so popular.
I'm waiting for his brother's name to get popular too (Dalton)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_iheartyoux3_/]

Seriously! I KNEW Will Smith's kids name was Jaden.. But I didn't really hear of him all that much anyway. And I randomly found that and thought it was uber cute. Now its everyone's kids name. LOL
Dalton is a cute name too! =)

I love the name Jayden. I liked it before it was popular. I think is great. I don't know where the trend came from though

[http://users.livejournal.com/_iheartyoux3_/]

Thank You. =)

[celtic-thistle.livejournal.com]

I honestly can't stand it. It is, like you said, way too typical.

[straight-outta.livejournal.com]

I really do not like any "-ayden/aden/aden" names except for Aiden. It's not even because of the popularity, although that makes them completely undesirable to me, I simply do not like the style & never will.

[bornto-fly.livejournal.com]

I hate all of the -ayden names. Jayden, at least, could be shortened to Jay, but seriously, Hayden? What're you going to call him - Hay?

Aidan isn't bad, when spelled that way, but it's gotten so trendy I could SCREAM.

No offense, I just really hate all of those names. They're way too trendy for my tastes. But hey, if you like it, that's what matters.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_iheartyoux3_/]

I'm not taking any offense to what people say here.. it's just LJ.
I wanted unique, which turned into trendy! haha

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I hate it. It sounds super duper trendy to me.
I mean fair enough you were one of the first to start the trend I guess, so you weren't to know.. but it was just unlucky on your part.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_iheartyoux3_/]

We were going for unique. But that never happens! haha

[dosequisgirl.livejournal.com]

I dunno, but I &hearts you! =)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_iheartyoux3_/]

Haha. This is a drunk comment isn't it?! =)

I love youuu!

[dosequisgirl.livejournal.com]

Haha, yes, but I still &hearts you! =P

[nobodynomore.livejournal.com]

I'm curious: where do you people live that Aiden & Hayden are so popular? I live & work in a place where I swear is having the biggest baby boom EVAR and RARELY hear or meet of Aiden's and Hayden's (both names I love).

Jayden is uber popular, and I really think it's a girl name. But I really don't like it, I don't know why.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_iheartyoux3_/]

Jayden can be girl or boy.. along with LOTS of other names... I'm an Ashley... and it could be used both ways. But anywhos, I live in Florida, I hear them all quite often. =)

[nobodynomore.livejournal.com]

i know a lot of little boy Jayden's, but for some reason it just strikes me as a girl name, probably it's similarity to Jade/Jayde.

Wasn't heard of before late 2004.
Well, was.. but not nearly as much.




LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

When I was pregnant with Seth, I was in a Maternity Group Home. He was born in May 2003.

In the time I was there, they were NINE boys born named Jayden (and various spellings thereof, but all with J's). When Seth was born, and I left with him, there were another FOUR Jayden's waiting to be born.


It was heard long before "late 2004", i'm sorry to say. It became extremely popular after Will and Jada Smith named their son Jadan, but it WAS being used even before that.




Oh, and because of HOW many kids have, I dislike it, along with all the Kaylen, ayden, brayden, Jaylen,Jayleen and anything else related really. Although, it IS easier to be ok with with the K for some reason...

I knew I would get one of these comments.
When I say it wasn't heard of much.. Meaning around. Not in your 'area' I have no idea where you live. I don't hear of it too often around here. A few day cares I have worked in yeah, but other than that nothing. I'm talking like celebrity babies. Soo. Yeah.

Re: LOLZ

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

If you meant it that way, you should have said "it wasn't heard much around here, not that "it wasn't heard much". Because the latter way, its completely incorrect.

Re: LOLZ

[o-honeybee-o.livejournal.com]

wow, calm down.

Re: LOLZ

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

Uh, if what I said was read as "not calm" that would be a reflection of the readers mood, not my own.

Re: LOLZ

[http://users.livejournal.com/_iheartyoux3_/]

When I say it wasn't heard of much.. Meaning around. Not in your 'area'

I didn't mean it that way. I don't know where you got that from anyway. I didn't mean from a specific area. So your comments kind-of backwards. I don't hear it that much around here.. But I hear it more and more on new/magazines and such.

Re: LOLZ

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

Ok, I'm sorry, but this comment doesn't even make sense. I'm not trying to be rude, but honestly, your last comment here really *doesn'T* make sense.

Where did I "get that from"? Your own comment!

Re: LOLZ

[http://users.livejournal.com/_iheartyoux3_/]

My original post says 'wasn't heard of much' ... I didn't state an area at all. You commented back with you had 9 Jaydens blah blah blah.
I replied with I didn't say a specific area. I said I wasn't talking about YOUR area. Anywhere in general. Annnd I said more of celebrity babies and what not. Whether you're trying to make a point b/c that's how you are... you're known in communitys for that. I know, i've seen your name around. But whatever. I'm not gonna start LJ drama b/c you want to prove everyone wrong. The 'calm down' comment, I have to agree with. SORRY if there were NINE babies named Jayden... that's just a bit odd.

Re: LOLZ

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

Uh, when you leave something open and generalized like that, that means in general, its not heard of. But in fact, it was IN YOUR AREA it was not much heard of, while it was EXTREMELY popular in MANY areas of the country.



and OMFGLOLLMAOROFL. I love when little girls like you do that!! "You pwned me because I was an idiot, so I will bring up mention of the dramaz (essentially putting myself in it!!) but pretend to be above it (though I really CAN'T be because *I* just brought it up!!!!"

when will you children learn? LOL!!

Re: LOLZ

[http://users.livejournal.com/_iheartyoux3_/]

Umm.. alright. Not really i'm not starting drama at all. I'm telling YOU what I meant in MY post, but you feel as though I still am in the wrong no matter what I say. You're a type that has to be right.. it's ok.. being wrong does happen sometimes.

Well, was.. but not nearly as much

still...

lol.

Re: LOLZ

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

LULZTATSIC. You really are. That's cute, though. You don't have a master-hand on the English language, and then get whiney when someone points out that you wrote incorrectly, and tell you what semantics makes your post mean.

if you want you post to say what you actually mean, perhaps you should type it properly.

Just sayin'

Re: LOLZ

[http://users.livejournal.com/_iheartyoux3_/]

Wow. You're getting pretty obnoxious about this whole ordeal huh?

FYI.

2002 Jaden was #45
2003 - 19
2004 - 15
2005 - 15

I said heard of, just not nearly as much.

Re: LOLZ

[searlait.livejournal.com]

You really feel passionate about making sure she knows she made a mistake, huh?

Re: LOLZ

[http://users.livejournal.com/_iheartyoux3_/]

Hah. I agree.

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

I don't like any of the -aden names really, but at least with Jayden you can call him Jay which is cool.

[so-there.livejournal.com]

I really dislike it. and not because it's trendy, I disliked it the first time I heard it, and am very saddened by the fact that it became so popular.

[missbailey.livejournal.com]

Jayden is my baby cousin. Well hes like 3. His middle is Muin which means Bear. So we call him Jayden Bear.
I havent heard it much but Aidan and Hayden, i have heard alot.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_iheartyoux3_/]

Aww how cute!
I call my Jayden, Jayden Boo. =)

[o-honeybee-o.livejournal.com]

I love the name Jayden on either sex :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_iheartyoux3_/]

I have to agree =)
hehe

[searlait.livejournal.com]

I don't care for the name, but that's because I don't care for the name Jade and it just seems like someone altered it for a boy.

[cassandrakfreaq.livejournal.com]

I don't like any of them brayden, caden. I think I hate jayden the most. aiden is a real name to me and I like it but its overused.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

Well personally my style of favourite boys names is very traditional (David, James, etc) so I don't go for those sorts of names myself but Jayden is fine really. I think that if people try to name their child something 'different' it will backfire, so it's best to just name them your absolute favourite name since you'll love it always no matter whether there are 10 of them in his class or not. I mean, yes there are heaps of Jaydens and Haydens, but there always have been a lot of Michaels and Bens, so it's not much different from other names in that sense, really. Although you can look up the popular names from the last few years before your baby is due to kind of predict how popular your name is going to be, but still it's always going to be a bit of a gamble.

Ok I don't know what i'm going on about now lol

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

I think its a pretty flimsy name, not strong like Charles or James or something like that. Trendy names aren't really my style, and hopefully he has a fairly normal middle name that won't scream trend-city.

[starrkissed.livejournal.com]

i have a niece named jayden. i really like it, but i kind of want to name our future son kaden and i'm afraid of the confusion. o.o
