I am guilty of liking a tryndee name, I confess haha.
[name_m]Cayden[/name_m] is a GP of mine, after having worked with/taught a little [name_u]Hayden[/name_u]. I love [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] as well - but [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] is a bit close with [name_u]Haley[/name_u] (Hay-lee). [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] is also similar to [name_u]Haley[/name_u], but the beginning sound is different so it does bother me as much.
Anywho, [name_m]Cayden[/name_m] is the only spelling of [name_m]Caden[/name_m]/[name_u]Kayden[/name_u] that I like (I prefer C’s to K’s except for [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]), and I think a [name_m]Cayden[/name_m] would be better than a [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] with my first name being [name_u]Haley[/name_u].
[name_m]How[/name_m] trendy is [name_m]Cayden[/name_m]? Should I keep it or drop it?
[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t do it! You have so many lovely names on your list and I can only see [name_m]Cayden[/name_m] as ‘tryndee’ especially with the ‘Y’ in there. If you have to use it, go with [name_m]Caden[/name_m].
I must confess I have liked the name [name_u]Calen[/name_u] since I was a child, it was the name of an actor in a show I really liked. I made up the spelling Kailan, but then realised people would read it as [name_u]Kye[/name_u]-len not [name_u]Kay[/name_u]-len. Anyway I’m glad my naming style has moved on since then!
I have [name_m]Caelan[/name_m] on my list - but it’s more because the name ties to my Scottish heritage haha ( [name_m]Caelan[/name_m] is the Scottish form of [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]).
It is, haha! I never considered it before, as I know a girl named [name_f]Kaylan[/name_f], however, [name_f]Kaylan[/name_f] comes from different roots when used on a female (apparently). [name_m]Caelan[/name_m] is a Scottish form of [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m], [name_f]Kaylan[/name_f] is form of [name_f]Kayla[/name_f].
