Jayden

It’s a horrible horrible name and it doesn’t mean anything. Why is it so popular?

by Anonymousreply 130November 27, 2021 9:28 AM

It beat out Cuntface..

Jayden sounds like teenage motherhood.

Aiden was one of the most popular boys’ name in the US for much of the 2000s/10s. That spawned a bunch of sound-a-like names—Brayden, Kayden, Jayden.

Britney Spears named one of her sons Jayden, which helped push the name to higher heights.

It is a horrid name OP, but it does have a meaning, and not a very auspicious one at that: in Hebrew Jadon/Yadon/Jayden/Jaydon means "he who will judge"... Yuck.

For no good readon other than many are too trendy in the US, or some sound made up on a lark, all of these -ayden names irk me. My American Mormon Ex's mum was called Shayden. They're completely Salt Lake City stock. With her accent, it was extremely painful hearing her pronounce hr own name.

Though many of the old names with this ending come from Old English, i.e. Grayden, and Hayden, I believe we have more than enough of them already.

If you can leave your kid 10 million plus name it Apple, Or Helicopter Captain Pilot or Moon Zappa, doesn't fucking matter.

If your kid needs a job, then Steve or Thomas or Michael is the way to go.

The worst one is anything "Cayden" .. And the hilarious thing about that one is how the parents have tried to think up ways to 'personalize' it by spelling it differently. .. A website has listed most of them, but this list doesn't even include versions with it being spelled with a "Q".

Cadan, Caedan, Caden, Caedon, Caedyn, Caiden, Caidon, Caydan, Cayden, Kadan, Kaden, Kadeen, Kadein, Kadyn, Kaedan, Kaeden, Kaedin, Kaedon, Kaedyn, Kaidan, Kaiden, Kyden, Kaidin, Kaydan, Kayden.

I've always thought names like Jayden, Cayden, Hayden etc were aspirational. Mom wants her kid to have "one of them rich people names" so they have a better chance in life. I strongly believe that a name should be a boring biblical name or you should name your kid after a beloved friend or relative.

I looked at the reciept and was not surprised to see "Cashier: JAYDEN" at the top.

I like unusual names too! But not unusual as in I cobbled it together in the garage. Unique and meaningful versus I’m different dammit hear me roar! It conjures annoying parent versus kid with cool name. I always end up feeling sorry for the kid —that’s what you don’t want in naming a child. Subtlety, that old chestnut, is timeless. Sometimes you have to look at the kid before naming to see if fits. There are definitely some children named Grace who are struggling to keep up! To be fair, it’s a lot to live up to. Choose wisely, the poor kid pays the price. former colleague named kid Jaxson, about ten years ago, and my first thought was sad for kid. Have fun with your pets’ names the life span is shorter and they really don’t care what their name is. Harmless fun

Being dealt with a shitty name like an old family name Maury, Ida… There’s no shame in that. Probably named after a family member or some thing you can make a poor choice not everybody’s gonna like the name but to make up names because you think you’re special and super creative comes across poorly.
