Kaiden is too trendy for me, I love James though.

haileybug7

Well James is the dads name. I just need a first name! Nobody has found a name that i like yet.. am i doomed?

I know a Kayden James.  I'm sorry to say I strongly dislike this trend.  You'll find something, don't get discouraged.

Loves James. A classic name that won't date your child.

Kaiden is terrible, trendy, and there will be 12 others in his grade.  It doesn't sound grown-up or professional. Don't give up - you can find one that you love! 

How about:
Colin

Cullen

Callum

Connor

Keegan

Keenan

 

 

If there are 12 Kaidens there will be 25 Connors and Colins

I love the name James but I am not a fan at all of any of the Kaiden/Jayden/Aiden/Brayden names, sorry.

I agree. These names are all overdone. But if you love it, you should use it.

Have you tried nymbler.com? You can type in some names you like and it generates names with a similar feel. Could be a source of inspiration.

I don't like the name Caden when it's spelled "correctly", so I really don't like it spelled this way. James is a nice name though.

I like it, but this type of name is becoming really popular - I know of 2 Brayden James and 1 Hayden James that were born this year - that's just in my town. It's cute but I think it's on the popular rise. I also know several little boys named Cayden - which is spelled different but sounds the same.

I really don't like Kaiden. James is a great MN though.

How can a trendy, made-up name have a "correct" spelling? Just curious...

mommybrynn

Over the -aiden craze.  Jame is nice though--

Like James. Kaiden makes me go nerdy and think of Mass Effect, but that's me. I also agree with the others it's kind of trendy. Just NMS. I wouldn't mind Caden as much.

My DH is James, and we knew our son's middle name would be James.  We ultimately decided on Adam James.

I considered Caden 5 years ago for my son, and now I'm so glad I didn't name him that:)

Can't stand the -aiden / -ayden names in any of their forms. So trendy and overdone.

Sorry.

KittyMarie219

Is this pronounced like Kai-den or Kay-den?

Kaiden is a bad way of spelling an overly trendy name. Blechhhh.

I love James!  I think Aidan James is nice and less trendy sounding than Kaiden.

Not even close. There were 18,550 "Kaidens" (various spellings) born last year.

Only 11,504 "Connors." Only 6,380 "Collins." 

 

I like Callum, Colin, and Keegan. Also like Keaton.

Thank you.  I am amazed at how many people think Connor is soooooo popular.  When in reality, there were more babies named Jordan and Isaac and Gavin last year (I only pick those because I have never heard them accused of being "trendy"). 

I'm not saying Connor is super unique, just that it isn't a name like Aidan.  (Or Brayden or Jayden for that matter).
