Baby Names

Hayden ok for either gender?

We have two H name children now. A boy and a girl. Hayden ok for either gender, or does it make you think of one gender more than the other?

other names:

girl:
Finley Mae
Hayden Mae

boy:
Wilder
Hayden
Help!!??

Sibling to Halle and Hunter.

Re: Hayden ok for either gender?

  • Boy. But I'd keep looking. Hayden makes your sibset feel like you belong to a "hip" cult.
  • Loading the player...
  • Hayden is all boy honestly I think Finley is too. Wilder is just so trying to be cool. I would avoid an H name if you have two. Two is a coincidence three is a theme.  


  • Aren't  you tired of the Hayden, Jayden, Brayden trend? So over done an unoriginal. I just cant get behind these trends that time stamp your children (another time stamp is boy names on girls). 
    If you want an H name, 
    Hugh
    Henry
    Harvey
    Howard
    Hudson
    Hugo
    Hannah
    Halena
    Hillary
    Hilda

  • I'm not a fan of Jayden, Aidan, Braden. Hayden doesn't bother me for some reason.
  • Hayden is a boy name as is Finley.
  • I'm not familiar with the name and initially thought girl. I like Hayden better then Finley for a girl.

    I don't like Hayden for a boy at all, so of the two, I would pick Wilder, but neither is my style.

  • It’s a boy name. And personally I wouldn’t go with three pretty trendy H names. With your current sib set, my favorite girl name is Quinn, or Xander for a boy. Both different but not quite as trendy maybe?
  • That's kinda what we like. A little different but not super out there.
  • Ha, that seems harsh. But I'm not in love with it. Just really can't think of anything I love.
  • I know 2 Haydens: one is a boy and the other a girl. I think it works for both of them, the way Taylor used to. I also met my first Wilder in the pediatrician's office the other day-- he was 15 months old. For a girl, what about:

    Lindley
    Haven
    Marlowe
    Hadley
    Eden
    Bristol
    Kerrigan
    Paisley
    India
    Maren
    Loren
    Paycen

    and for a boy:
    Weston
    Wyatt
    Aidan
    Dylan
    Gavin
    Ian
    Carson
    Carter




  • Hayden is a boy name to me.

    Also, 3 kids whose names all start with the same letter calls the parents' judgment into question.  2 names with the same letter?  Coincidence.  The parents just happened to love 2 names that both started with the same letter.  I think this is especially possible with a boy and girl name.  I speak as a parent of a daughter and son whose names both start with "T."  It was coincidence.  One of the only names we both loved for our son happened to be a T name, so we just went with it, knowing he was our last child.

    3 siblings whose names all start with the same letter?  A guarantee that the parents were intentional and trying to be "cute."  It's not cute.

  • I'd toss those names back and keep looking. I'd also scrap the 3 "H" names.
