Baby Names

Is this a real name?

I know a few young teen moms(16,14,15 years old when daughter was born)who have used this name. I have seen it spelled Kaydence, Cadenze and Kadence.

Is this a real name? How is it supposed to be spelled? I like it but not these spellings.

Re: Is this a real name?

  • I think it's traditionally spelled Cadence.

  • I went to school with a Kadence, and she was constantly correcting people who would call her Candace.

    The correct spelling is going to be how the word is spelled.  The others?  Parents' ideas of "improvement."

     

    They have a warped sense of improvement! The spellings of this name I have seen make me gag.

  • It is not my style but it is a real name. It is usually spelled Cadence.
  • Sadly yes it's a name I've seen it spelled Kaydense.

  • Unfortunately I've seen this name.  I loathe it.  Sounds trashy/stripper/unsophistiated to me.

    I agree with this.

  • My friend has a baby girl name Kadence.
  • It reminds me of when I was in marching band. The drum solo thing in between songs is called a cadence (not sure if that's the way it's spelled though).

    Cadence is a word - it means a pattern of sounds (basically).

    People are now using it as a name - okay.

    The correct spelling is going to be how the word is spelled.  The others?  Parents' ideas of "improvement."

    Exactly this!

    It's like naming your kid Rhythm...then spelling it Rithym. It just adds insult to injury.

  • Cadence is indeed a real name (I am sorry to say). I have met two of them and both were spelled correctly (as I wrote it above).

    This - it is a word that has been converted into a name (it is fairly popular in my area) and then uniquely spelled for some flava!  :o)

  • Its cadence and it means rhythm or patterns of sound. People mess up the spelling because they want to.

  • Cadence is one of those word names like Melody and Harmony.

    It isn't just for the teen mom set, I know a 30 something, crunchy couple who just named their daughter Cadence.

  • Cadence. My H likes this name. But I can't get on board because of all the awful spelling variations there are.

    I like how you put this.  I was in marching band so it's really hard for me to think of it as a name.  Like Queenbone said, it would be like Melody and Harmony started appearing.  I was also in chorus so I still kind of have problems with them but I guess since it's been around for decades I just have to get over it.

  • Cadence is a name that's also an ordinary word, and it doesn't bother me as such, but the misspellings give me hives.

    I didn't mean the name was for the teen mom set! I just meant the wacky spellings I mentioned!

  • The name itself isn't terrible, but it is NMS.  I just can't stand those misspellings.  Makes me feel twitchy.

  • I think the name is Cadence but people have changed the spelling to make it "unique."




  • it was used . as the name of a character in American Wedding a few years ago, that is where I first remember hearing it.

  • To me, it is a word that should not be a name. My great niece is Caedence. Not a fan

  • I know 2 people that have used this name. The first one spelled it Cadence, the other Kaydence.
