Local Dutch newspaper: Jayden

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Article in my local(!) newspaper today:

Jayden comes in third as most popular boy's name.

This may not sound surprising...but I'm living in The Netherlands. I knew it was getting more popular here, but third? In my town? Yeah.

The article also mentioned that it was supposedly derived from the Biblical name Jadon, and that Jayden could also be used as a girl's name.

Also, the newspaper's suggestion: "If you do not want your child to be in class with 5 other Jaydens, you could always use an alternate spelling such as Jaden, Jadyn & Jeadan." (I guess that last one's a typo and should be Jaedan...not that that would make it any better).
