Bare with me here 
so my step cousin who we don't even really speak and see eachother twice a year tops. Her sons name is Broden. In your opinions are they too close?
Funny story I ask my sister this question and she says who is Broden I'm like our stepdads nieces' son and she continues to ask who they are and then finally gets it. Lol so that's how close we are.
I appreciate any opinions happy Tuesday ladies

Re: The name Brayden.
Hm meaning is broad meadow I swear every name I pick has a weird meaning. Bentley was my first option but the hubby hates it which meant bent grass lol
ETA: Braden would be the "normal" spelling.
I joked with my mom before the last baby was born that it would be either Aydhenne or Madhyssenne. So she called the baby "Aydhenisenne".
No dashes or apostrophes where they don't belong? I'm disappointed! :P
Never heard the name Broden, but i know a Braden. I also know a Grayden. i'm a fan or more traditional names, but these names seem to be the trend now.
i don't think you need to worry about your stepdad's neice's son's name conflicting with the one you pick, seems to be enough distance there!
It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I don’t know you. Stranger Danger.
I'm sorry but +1 for no to all of the above. Those names were very trendy but are now on their way out. FWIW Brayden is #39 on Nameberry, but Jayden is still #7. I'm sure both will wane in the years to come...that may be a good thing or a bad thing to you. Personally I would not want something at the height of or the tale end of a name trend.
To try to be helpful & answer your actual question, no, I do not think they are too close for comfort.
I didn't know the y names were an annoyance to people I still like the name and maybe now we will just look at different spellings! Well c tho n ill worry about it if we happen to see a nub at the scan Friday. Honestly I hope for a girl bc we are dead set on our name there and wont have to stress about a boys name! Thanks again ladies.
Little Brother is on his way!
Agree...As DH and I brainstorm names, our test for for more unusual ones is "is it too Aiden-y?" If yes, then neeeeext. Haha
