I know you hate the name, but what do you consider as the correct spelling ?

We really like the name Brayden with the nn Brady. 

I would preferably use just Brady, but that won't happen. Atleast we found a way to compromise !

There are so many ways people spell Brayden, what do you consider the correct spelling ?

    Brayden is the most common spelling. Braden is my nephew but I have heard a couple people mispronounce it and say "brad-en" instead of the AY sound (most ppl get it though).  If Brady is going to be the NN then I think Braden is a good spelling.

    To me Brayden looks wrong (like when people throw in random y's for no reason). I say go with Braden and if you use the NN Brady that's fine.

    Braden, otherwise you have a Y in the wrong position (before the D instead of after) for the nn Brady.

    I knew what name this was going to be about before I even opened the post.  I think Braden makes the most sense in your case with the nn Brady.  I would have probably said Brayden otherwise because it is the most common.

    Braden because Brayden always makes me think of how a donkey brays.

    Braden is most definitely the legit spelling and the only one you should consider IMO.

    My DS's MN is Braden.  In my defense he is 16 years old, and at the time nobody had heard the name before.

    I think Braden works best with the nn Brady.

    Brayden and Braeden seem the most legit to me. Something about Braden looks unfinished. I don't think the added "y" would affect your nn; lots of nns don't match up with the full name.

    I kind of agree with this. I used to LOVE this name (10+ years ago) but it is just too common for my liking, I've found. I used to like it spelled as Brayden or Braeden...but since frequenting these boards, the "y" and "e" in the middle just seem unnecessary. At the same time, Braden looks unfinished. However, it would make sense if it is spelled that way if you plan to use the nn Brady.

    ps. Brady is on my list. I like it. :)

    Braden if I have to choose.

    I guess I don't really understand using Brady as a nn for Braden. They are both two syllables. It's basically the same name.

    This. Any variation of the name with a 'y' looks 1. girly and 2. like what a donkey says
