Caden... Overplayed?

lindseystenlund

Is the name Caden totally trendy and overplayed??  So far it's the only "C" name we can agree on.  I guess if we love it, it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks but... I just thought I'd ask you brutally honest ladies anyway! TIA

I don't really care for the name but it doesn't seem really popular to me. I know one little boy named Caden. He is 9.

shopgirl_07

Yes, TOTALLY trendy. And I think rather girly as well.

jessimomma

Honestly, yes, in my opinion it is although, I've never really liked it. I do love Cade though.

I think it is popular, but I have honestly never met a kid named Caden. If you like it, use it.

amoureux

Yes.

Caden is my #1 most disliked name. Sorry.

Connor, Colin, Cameron, Carter, Christopher, Charles?

Yes!

I do find the name Caden overplayed. Even if there aren't any other "Cadens" in his class, there will likely be a few Bradens, Jadens, and so on.

Yes, and it's any name that ends in the "aden" sound. It's hard to even quantify because it is spelled so many different ways.

I also think Caden and Jayden sound particularly girly, even though I know boys with those names. 

Colin, Carter, Calvin, Callum, Clay, Christian, Cooper?

mlf625

YES. ?In fact, I shudder when I hear it.

Anyone who says they don't know one doesn't know many kids age 0-3. ?I can name 4 Kaden/Cayden/Kaidens I know personally, and I've run out of fingers to count all the collective -adens I know. ? And as an aside, I think the name Caden is girly.

Skip it.?

Ummm...YES! Caden, Bra(y)den, Ja(y)(i)den are all way, way overplayed. They all blend together to me.

As you said though, if you love it, and are okay with the fact that a ton of his classmates will have his name or a rhyming name, go for it!

I cringe at any -aden name. They're all overdone. I know several Caidens. But, you're right - if you love it, who cares!

I agree.  Here in South Carolina every little boy is popping up as a Cade, Caden, or Cayden

bakedlaurabean

Yes, it's trendy. You could just do Cade. Still trendy, but then he will be a bit different from the Caden/Jayden/Aiden thing.

What about Cole or Colton? Those are popular, but I don't think they're trendy.

This, plus Aiden.

I don't dislike the name, though. If YOU and DH love it, and you're set on a name starting with "C", then you should use it. JMO.

I know three of them!   You're right though - if you love it, it doesn't matter what others think.   It's NMS and very trendy right now, but go for it.

BBachmann

IMHO, yes.  I have know 3 girls personally that have named their kids this.

lindseystenlund

Ok, Caden is OUT!!! lol.  I just realized too, that DH has a nephew named Adain James... So Caden James and Adain James... that's just silly.  I know we can come up with something better! 

Thanks for all your honest opinions!!!

BelleBaby

Yes.  All of the -aden names are WAY overdone. 

What about Caleb, Connor, Christopher, Christian, Cole, Chase, Collin?
