Caedmon and Camden

What do you think of Caedmon?  Not sure if I like it or not.

Is Camden really trendy/popular?

Which is better?

    I wouldn't know the first place to start when it comes to pronouncing Caedmon. I really dislike that.

    Camden is just another in the "...den" trend IMO.

    Caedmon sounds like the name of a Digimon. All the creatures' names end in -mon b/c its a Japanese, slang suffix for "monster" (also used in Pokemon, which literally translates to Pocket Monster).

    neither are great... the both make me think that you really wanted to name your son Caden, but just couldn't handle the popularity.

    Caedmon is a legitimate Gaelic name, but it just makes me think of the Christian band Caedmon's Call.  I don't like it.

    Camden is okay.  I like the nickname Cam.

    With all the names in the world, you come up with these gems?  I can't believe this is a serious post. Why would you name your kid either of these?

    Although this is a little harsh I was truly expecting this to be a 'names from Facebook' post. I strongly dislike both.

    I don't even have words for Caedmon. 

    Camden isn't the worst name out there but it falls into the -den trend and all I think of is disgusting, crime ridden Camden, NJ.

    I know a girl named Camden and I love the name. I could see it for a boy too. I'm from Baltimore and the father is a huge baseball fan so Camden Yards was inspiration, but it also has to do with the outdoors I believe? And I do agree with Caedmon sounding a bit Jamaican, but I kind of like it. I'm a fan of some of the Gaelic names. Just to give you a bit of positive feedback! :)

    Wish I had seen this sooner!  I think Caedmon (we pronounce it cade-men) is better, because it's my son's name!

     It means "wise warrior" and was the name of the first English poet.  It has history and a lot of meaning for us.
