I'm starting to really hate all the 'den versions of names.

I like Caden; well, not spelled that way. I like it Kaiden.

Anthony, eh, not a bad name but I have a bad connotation.

Nolan is really nice. Duncan has a similar sound to Caden... I hope the OP likes one of these :)

I dont think Caden is too popuilar at all. It is Trendy and a new name but not too popular. I think its adorabl and anthony goes very well with it :)

it might not be too popular now, but in a couple years it certainly will be.

waayyy too popular for my tastes, but it is nice... be ready for 7 other boys in his class with the same first name though... the trend is sweeping the nation ;)!

Caden is my favourite out of all the different spelling variations of the name.

As has been noted 'den names are quite trendy right now, but Caden is the least common of those and not quite into 'five per class' territory just yet.

Nice combo :)

but little Caden is gonna be in classes full of Jayden, Aiden, Braedon, Hayden's etc. They all have such similar sounds, it's only the first letter that's different, so I think it's still a huge problem.

This is true
Suppose in the abstract it's not so bad, but yeah the grand scheme of things isn't great.

On top of the fact that your boy would be one of ten -adens in his class, it's not even well established that Caden actually means warrior. I would go with cj_ized's suggestions, or even Gunnar, Kemp or Clancy. Cáel was a warrior in Irish mythology, that is a name in the style of Caden.

I hate hate hate Caden. Anthony is nice. Caden is too trendy and will soon be very dated.

Well, I really like Caden, but I think people have made some good points about the plethora of -aden sounding names. From other people's recommendations I love Cael, Nolan, and Duncan.

I grew up with a pretty popular name and while it can suck to just be one of many, I don't believe it detracts from the appeal of a name. If you want to stick with Caden, I don't think you need to be deterred by the popularity of the sound.

And, Anthony is not a name I particulary like personally, but I think it is a nice name that works well with Caden.

Kaiden/Caden is personally too popular for me.

One of my favorite english words is Cadence, so I really like the sound of the same. It is trendy but I really like it.

All the -aden names are really popular.

There are so many Cadens, Kadens, Jadens, Aidens, Braydens, Haydens, etc. If having an unusual name is important to you I'd stay away.

Nolan is probably your best bet. :)
