what is the toughts on Hayden Lane for a boy? 

I am ready to hear the very opinionated opinions!

I like it. DH shot down Hayden due to the guy (Hayden Fox?) on TV show "Coach" and some other football icon I know nothing about. I think it's super cute and goes well with Lane. Hayden is picking up in popularity if that matters to you.

It's NMS...mostly because of the rhyming long "a" sounds. Also, I knew someone with the last name Hayden growing up so I think of it as a last name and I am not a fan of using last names as first names.

I like Hayden, not too crazy about Lane?

Aiden Hayden Jayden Caden.... ecckkk enough already.

(have it be known, if it was not so damn trendy I would like it)

BlindysWife

Don't like it. If I saw the name on paper I would think it was a girl.

I agree with the last name thing.  My DHs family had a special friend of the family and his last name was Hayde.  Lane is also a family name for DH.  I am considering letting him name this baby so that way he has no say so when # 2 comes along

*Scuzzlebutt*

I really, really dislike Hayden and all the other "-ayden" names.  They look girly to me when they're spelled with "y" 's in them, and I can't picture them growing well with the child (85-year-olds named Hayden/Jayden/Brayden just don't seem right to me)  Then again, I've been told that the names I like are "boring" and "old-fashioned"....I tend to like classic names only.

Lane doesn't bother me.

  Dylan is my second choice

I sort of agree. I like the name Hayden; it is a unisex name, but the combination of Hayden Lane definitely makes me think it's a girl name.

Hayden is my cousin's name and he was born LONG before this -ayden trend began. Actually, this is the only one of those type of names that I do like. I think it's masculine and awful on a girl. I don't like Lane.

It is a girls name, at least it is now.  It is sort of like naming your son Avery-- might have been a boy's name but no longer!  That is going to have to be one heck of a tough boy to have a name like Hayden.

AMossy

I love the name but I think girl right away.  I don't know why because I think it would be a great boys name too. 

shopgirl_07

It rhymes and sounds VERY girly. I like Dylan though.

TripMomma

I think using two unisex names is not a great idea. We have a DD named Hayden. I like Hayden for either a boy or girl but my DH wouldn't even consider Hayden for a boy.

BizEB

I like Hayden and Lane for boys, but not together.

Hayden is nice but Lane sounds a bit feminine

mr&mrswelch

meh.

mlf625

Major GAG to Hayden.  Why go there?  Most annoying name trend, ever.

Lane is good. 

lynsey851

Sounds like a girls name, sorry

yourmom5309

I only know female Haydens.  I know it can be used for either sex, but I guess I associate it with girls bc that is all I know.

ChelseaC630

Love it!

lidda

Lane = girl to me. And I'm not a fan of Hayden.

cera.rn

it is very feminine IMO

lisa5201

-Hayden Lane could very, very easily be a girl's name

-Hayden is just way too played out to sound original, and too new to sound classic

-Hayden will have multiple classmates with rhyming names: Caden, Aiden, Brayden, Jayden, Leyden ect... Too much, wayyyy too much

Get off the bandwagon! Lol! 

 I like Harlan, Harrison, Holden, Houston, or Hunter as alternate suggestions

That's refreshing! So much better than "keep your negative opinions to yourself! I only want to hear that everyone loves it!" LOL

And, since you asked... I'm not a fan of Hayden, or any of the -aden/-ayden names, and Lane sounds really girlie to me.  In fact, the whole name sounds pretty girlie (a friend just named her baby Haiden so I always associate it with a girl now).

ETA: I love Dylan, btw!
