Hubby likes one I like another, which one?

Please can you give me opinions on these baby names as I’m set on one and hubby on another which I don’t care for at all!

My pick for a baby boy is:
[name]Leo[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]John[/name] (both mn are family names I would love to use)

His pick is:
[name]Caden[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]John[/name]

So just after opinions on what sounds better or general comments on [name]Caden[/name], as maybe ill come round to it!
Thanks

I like [name]Leo[/name] best. I’ve met a few toddlers named [name]Leo[/name] recently and it really is handsome on a little boy. I don’t know any Cadens, but its not a bad name. It fits with all the other -aden ending names that are so popular.

I like [name]Leo[/name] better than [name]Caden[/name]. [name]Leo[/name] is a handsome classic, [name]Caden[/name] feels more trendy to me with the popularity of [name]Aidan[/name] and his rhymes and is more likely to have spelling problems given the number of ariations I’ve seen ([name]Cayden[/name], [name]Kaden[/name], [name]Kayden[/name] etc)

I greatly prefer [name]Leo[/name] to [name]Caden[/name].

However, I could be reading you wrong but are the middle names both your family and your choice? If so I’d probably give greater weight to his preference.

Otherwise is the a compromise name that would be neither first choice but you both can live with?

I definitely prefer [name]Leo[/name] to [name]Caden[/name] - one of my favorites!

Of the two I prefer [name]Leo[/name], but I’m really smitten with [name]William[/name]. What about just [name]William[/name] [name]John[/name]?

[name]Leo[/name] is a classic name with history and depth. [name]Caden[/name] is a trendy brother of all of the sound-alikes ([name]Aidan[/name], [name]Jayden[/name], [name]Braden[/name] etc…). I think [name]Leo[/name] is a great name for all ages and it certainly ages well. I can’t imagine a mature man with the name [name]Caden[/name] (we do live most of our lives as adults).

Of the choices I prefer [name]Leo[/name]. But another idea I really like is [name]Cade[/name].

Although my three year olds name is the much disliked name cayden- I think you should follow your hearts (as we did) :slight_smile:
Would you two be open to additional fn ideas that may go with your Middle names?

:slight_smile:

Definitely [name]Leo[/name] :slight_smile: stands out and great flow.

Thanks so its mostly one sided towards [name]Leo[/name] and the comments you posted are pretty much just how I feel. I love [name]Leo[/name] although I know it’s only going to increase in popularity and [name]Caden[/name] has a nice sound to it and very cute but to trendy with the other similar sounding names. I think foe hubby the meaning came into play a lot which is “fighter”, (I lost 3 babies before this one!). So I understand his reasoning, any suggestions of first names that go with the mn would be appreciated

I like [name]Leo[/name] much better. To meet in the middle though: [name]Finnigan[/name] nn [name]Finn[/name], or just [name]Finn[/name]. Also [name]Theodore[/name] since its similar to [name]Leo[/name]?

Where I love [name]Kade[/name]. I dislike [name]Caden[/name]/[name]Kaden[/name] a lot, it just sounds really popular and trendy. I’m not a massive fan of [name]Leo[/name] but out of the two that would be what I’d pick. If it were [name]Leo[/name] and [name]Kade[/name]/[name]Cade[/name] I’d go wih the latter.

[name]Leo[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]John[/name]! Nothing against [name]Caden[/name], but it is too popular right now for comfort.

[name]Leo[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]John[/name] is gorgeous! If you’re looking for other suggestions/meet in the middle type things, you could try:
[name]August[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Miles[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]John[/name] ([name]Miles[/name] means “a soldier,” which sort of makes up for “fighter”)
[name]Nolan[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]John[/name] ([name]Nolan[/name] means “champion”)
[name]Owen[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]John[/name] (“young warrior; well-born”)

I prefer [name]Leo[/name] over [name]Caden[/name]. I just think of [name]Caden[/name] as a made up, trendy name. [name]Leo[/name] is timeless and so handsome!

I’m not sure popularity should be considered here. [name]Leo[/name] is becoming really popular lately, too, so either name is a trendy choice just following a different trend. I like your husband’s reasoning behind choosing the name [name]Caden[/name], so it gets my vote even though it’s not my fave. If you don’t like it, maybe search for another name you like better with a similar meaning? Someone above had some great suggestions.

Definitely [name]Leo[/name]! Not only are there tons of Cadens, it is terribly trendy.

Besides loving the sound and flow of [name]Leo[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Leo[/name] as in lion also is the king of the jungle - top of the bill for meaning your DH is looking for.

other strong meaning options:
[name]Neal[/name] = champion, I like the above suggested [name]Nolan[/name] too
[name]Everett[/name] = strong like a bear
[name]Farris[/name] = iron - strong
[name]Andrew[/name] = brave warrior

Or you could opt for the hidden meaning [name]Clark[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]John[/name] ([name]Clark[/name] as in Superman) - maybe not your style but I could not resist
