Uh, you're not allowed to delete comments doll.

If you can't handle both positive and negative feedback, please refrain from posting.

So this whole getting rid of the comments which disagree with you and only keeping the ones you like isn't cool for this community.

So I'll reiterate, and keep my comment on here:

Not another Aiden!

Aiden is entirely too popular, and every mother who names her kid that does it because they just looove the name and not because they want to be trendy, but it doesn't change the fact that you'll be seen as doing it for trendy reasons anyways.

So I vote no on any ayden/aiden/aiduhn/cayden/jayden/whatever name. I give you 2% props on the fact that you're actually spelling it in a decent way, but it's trendyness makes it a bad name IMO.

haha i just don't think it's cool to talk down to an expectant mother looking for a name to best suit her little boy! i'm trying to rid my life of negative people and negative things. i didn't think there would be such a negative response to the fact that i've always liked the name aiden, not recently because of it's "popularity" (can a name REALLY be popular any ways?) it's about naming a human, it's not about buying a pair of shoes!

who, in there right mind, thinks that someone named their child because the name was trendy? it's ridiculous for you to assume that people are going to think that the reason i named my child aiden was because it was popular.

i just think this is so funny, are you a mother? are you pregnant? are you naming your son/daughter? sometimes i wonder if people in this community are actually pregnant and needing to decide on a name.

i just simply wanted to see if the name aiden isaiah sounded good together, i wasn't asking for you to tell me that i shouldn't name my SON aiden because it's popular. it's absolutely ridiculous!

You're one of the entitlement pregnant women then? Because you're pregnant people should automatically agree with everything you say? This is a community for OPINIONS, you asked for opinions, and you got them, whether you like it or not, and people have worded their dislike of the name pretty nicely so far.

And it's not ridiculous, cause the comments you deleted were ones that thought you were doing it because it was popular ;) you're going to have to deal with it if you choose such a trendy name, so might as well get used to the lashback now.

And yes, I am a mother, AND I am pregnant. The only reason people can dislike a name is because they're childfree? or do you think because I'm pregnant and have been pregnant in the past that we form some bond in which I should throw my opinions out the window, I should indulge your entitlement, pat you on the head, and ignore the fact that I think it's a way too trendy name to make you feel a little better.

You asked for opinions, you got them. That is in fact, the reason of this community, and if you can't stand people disagreeing with you, even though everyone has done it nicely, then why ask for the opinion in the first place?

And honestly the fact that there are 5 AIDEN'S or variations thereof in my son's daycare, and the majority of friends I know who've had babies have named them Aiden, I think THAT is the thing that's ridiculous.

to put it plainly, you're a bitch who's just hiding behind her keyboard.

and PS - a lot of people really don't like my son's name, my own family made fun of it for the first 2 weeks after he was born. (His name is Treyton Alexander, btw, nn Trey), and they'd call him from "ash tray" to "ice tray", but that goes with the territory, not everyone is going to like the name you choose and it's silly to expect them too, especially when you're asking for opinions on it. I could care less if people don't like the name Trey because I do, and my husband does, and it suits my son perfectly. Sometimes you just gotta realize it comes with the territory and shrug it off.
