Channing or Kayden

[name_u]Baby[/name_u] boy is due in [name_f]May[/name_f]. We are having trouble deciding between [name_u]Channing[/name_u] or [name_u]Kayden[/name_u] for the first name. The middle name will be [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], and the last name is [name_m]Marshall[/name_m].

I prefer [name_u]Channing[/name_u] but I like both. [name_u]Kayden[/name_u] is a nice name .

[name_u]Kayden[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Marshall[/name_m] has such a nice ring to it!

Another vote for [name_u]Channing[/name_u]

Definitely [name_u]Kayden[/name_u]! [name_u]Channing[/name_u] is just way too tied to [name_u]Channing[/name_u] [name_u]Tatum[/name_u] for me.

I would choose [name_u]Channing[/name_u] over [name_u]Kayden[/name_u] but I would choose either [name_m]Caden[/name_m] or [name_m]Kaden[/name_m] over [name_u]Channing[/name_u]. Maybe [name_u]Chandler[/name_u] or [name_u]Chase[/name_u]?

[name_u]Channing[/name_u] is much, much better.

Definitely [name_u]Channing[/name_u].

Definitely [name_u]Kayden[/name_u] .

Channing!!

Definitely [name_u]Channing[/name_u]! It has a spark! [name_u]Kayden[/name_u] feels overdone to me.

I prefer [name_u]Channing[/name_u]. Both names are great but [name_u]Kayden[/name_u] gets a bit lost in all the Jadens and Braydons that were so popular. [name_u]Channing[/name_u] feels more special.

I vote for [name_u]Channing[/name_u].

[name_u]Kayden[/name_u] :blue_heart:

[name_u]Channing[/name_u]! Great full name.

[name_u]Channing[/name_u] gets my vote

[name_u]Kayden[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] sounds great

[name_u]Kayden[/name_u]! [name_u]Channing[/name_u] is too [name_u]Channing[/name_u] [name_u]Tatum[/name_u] for me.

As a teacher I would say anything but an “Ayden” name. I know it’s really bad to stereotype but nearly every kid with a name like [name_u]Jayden[/name_u], [name_u]Brayden[/name_u], [name_m]Caden[/name_m], [name_m]Shayden[/name_m] and any others you can think of (except [name_u]Aiden[/name_u] - for some reason that doesn’t seem to have the same associations) are seriously hard work in the classroom behaviour wise! Sure I’ve taught a lovely [name_u]Brayden[/name_u] and a nice [name_u]Cayden[/name_u] but unfortunately all the others that come to mind with similar names have been a real handful. I honestly could not tell you why kiddos with those names seem to have challenges with schools but I know I’m not the only one to notice because it’s been mentioned to me by a couple of other teachers- including one from another country.

So that’s just my massively biased opinion as a teacher. It’s wrong to stereotype I’m well aware but just thought I’d mention it. You might wish to completely disregard it and if you love [name_u]Kayden[/name_u] you should definitely use it!
