Boy Name

Unknown

We are considering Braiden as a first name. Both my DH and I really, really love this name. We still have a few others in the running, and I know not all of you are a fan of this particular name because it ends in -aiden, but I wanted to ask you ladies how you would spell this name; how you prefer to see it spelled.

On babynames.com this name comes up as Braden, Braiden, Brayden and Braeden...too many name spellings if you ask me. But I still love the name.

I hate this name--- I know sooooooooo many little boys named Brayden that it's just ridiculous.

Well, I pointed out that a lot of you don't like it. But in my defense of this name, I don't know any boys with it.

It seems like she is pretty set on the name, so that comment might not have been necessary.  It's not my favorite either, but she just wanted help with the spelling, so I voted.  Help a sister out, and just take the clicky poll.

And I respect that you don't like it! Ethan is in the running as well, but every 2009 name list I look at...it's at the top...

As trendy as Braiden is, I would avoid the trendy spelling of Brayden.  I jsut feel that adds to the trendyness of it.

Thanks!  We just found out, but I don't think it's two for the price of one.  I am very scared of the high risk factors, and premature birth.  We feel blessed, though.  Good luck with your names!

I like this name.  Although on these boards it seems uber-popular, I have only known 2 Bradens (both spelled that way) over the past 6 years.

Braeden is the tradition spelling and I really dislike all of the other youneek spellings. Especially Braiden. That's bad. I could get on board with Braden if you wanted to simplify the name a bit but I would choose Braeden 100%.

Well, I just mean 1 pregnancy, 2 babies. Try not to worry about all of the complications (easier said than done). I'm sure your pregnancy will go by quickly, smoothly, and your babies will be perfect!

I think the thing about Ethan though is that it will always be a nice name whereas Braden will scream a certain decade like names like Tiffany.  That being said, I don't like the Braiden spelling because all I see is braid.  I voted for Braden.

I voted for Braden, but I could also get on board with Braeden. Not the other two, though.

When I hear this name I think Brayden in my mind so I voted for that. 

FWIW I LOVE Ethan! Brayden isn't my cup of tea, but I like it more than a lot of names that are popular on here (Liam, Jackson, Parker etc). Sure it's trendy, but it's not horrific.

I know three babies just named Brayden (any spelling) in the last 6 months.

Agree with this.  Don't do a trendy spelling- it's not fair to your kid and it will annoy him for the rest of his life.
