I really love little boy names that end with the 'en' sound.


1. Aiden.
2. Keegan.
3. Kaegan.
4. Adrian.


And the name Skylar for a little girl.
What do you think of those names?

Very Irish sounding. One to add to the list would be:

Nevin.

yw. :-)

Here is a bit more:

The boy's name Nevan is pronounced NEV-en. It is of Irish origin, and its meaning is "little saint."

There is a variant form for Nevan: Nevin.

My boys are Jayden and Brendan. If I had another boy he'd probably be named Owen. Adrian was one of our picks for our oldest, too.

I've never liked the name Skylar.

I think Adrian is the best out of your boy's names. I really don't like Skylar - to me it's always sounded like something out of a bad sci fi film.

I love your boy names, my oldest son is named Adrian :)

And I have always loved Skylar for a girl but being dumb I named my cat that a few years ago so now I can never use it :( Oh well, its getting too popular for me now anway.

Aiden is soooooo overused. And I never liked it.
I love Keelan for a little boy. It's on my top five.
I like Skylar spelled Schuyler, but again, it's so popular.

Sometimes it feels like 80% of the posts in this community mention the name Aidan. (And 75% of you want to spell it Aiden instead.) It's safe to say I'm tired of hearing it. I *did* like a few years back, but it's worn out its welcome with me, and then some.

Keegan and Adrian are ok, but not my style.

I don't like the contrived made-up look of Kaegan at all.

I do like Skylar for a girl.

I agree completely with everything, except that I also hate Skylar :)

(Humbug.)

I've always liked the name Adrian.

And I prefer Schuyler.

1. Aiden- Like but urgh, the popularity.
2. Keegan- Yuck.
3. Kaegan- Sounds like keg.. beer keg
4. Adrian- Hate it, sounds like an old mans name to me, i cant imagine any baby adrians.


Skylar- Quite cute. I like it more & more ever time i see it.

Ohh... and i was watching Tv today & there was the cutest little boy called Caden. Now i'm really not a fan of the popylar en names, because a lot of them sound sort of made up. But i have to admit i'm loving Caden.

I love the names Keegan, Kaegan, and Adrian! The "an" sound at the end of a name gives it such strength, I think.

The name Skylar is cute, too. Makes me think of Good Will Hunting. :)

1. Aiden- I'm not a fan. First, the correct spelling is Aidan. Second, it's entirely too popular. Naming a kid anything that's been in the top 50 names for more than a year or two prior to their birth is going to result in them being known as Firstname Lastinitial for the entirety of their life because there will always be tons of other people with the same name in their classes. This site lets you track name trends. (http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/index.html)

2. Keegan- Eh, it's okay. A little over-trendy.

3. Kaegan- You said earlier that this is pronounced Kay-gun. If so, I don't recommend names that are not pronounced phonetically (which is why I don't care for "Gaelic"-style names). In English, the "ae" vowel conjunction is really ambiguous, so spelling it like that could lead to confusion and misspellings later.

4. Adrian- I like this name okay.

Adrian is one of my favorite boy names. I like Skylar a lot. It's my (boy) cousin's name. I prefer the originaly Dutch spelling Schuyler, though.
