Help, can’t decide
I’m not sure if I’ll be of much help because neither of these are my style.
I much prefer [name]Quinn[/name], [name]Quintus[/name], or [name]Quincy[/name].
Or [name]Jay[/name], [name]Jasper[/name], [name]Jacob[/name], [name]James[/name], [name]Jameson[/name], [name]Janus[/name], [name]Jason[/name].
[name]Jayden[/name] is a newly-invented name. [name]Jadon[/name], on the other hand, appears in the Old Testament. Still not my favorite.
[name]Jayden[/name] is going to sound very, very dated when he’s older, and Quinny has a rather insubstantial, infantile sound. My vote would go for [name]Quinn[/name] or [name]Quincy[/name] with Quinny as a nickname.
Yer thanks for comments, trying to think of something new an not follow the crowd but its really hard
Need to see what people’s views are good or bad :0)
Quinny is a great brand of stroller, btw. As a name-- is sounds childish and perhaps a bit feminine, as it rhymes with [name]Jenny[/name] & [name]Penny[/name].
[name]Jayden[/name] is absolutely one of the trendiest, least original names out there nowadays, so if you’re going for something new, definitely not [name]Jayden[/name] or any of its rhyming brothers ([name]Aiden[/name], [name]Caden[/name], [name]Brayden[/name], etc).
What do you think of [name]Leighton[/name] (or spelt any other way you can think of)
[name]Jayden[/name] is about as “follow the crowd” as you can get these days, it’s one of the very trendy names along with all it’s rhyming counterparts [[name]Brayden[/name], [name]Zayden[/name], etc].
Quinny sounds like a baby’s name, which isn’t a good thing, it means he’ll out grow the name very quickly. I would not use that on the birth certificate, if you are set on calling him that, use the name [name]Quinn[/name] or [name]Quincy[/name] for his official name.
[name]Jayden[/name].
Ideally, I’d suggest [name]Quincy[/name] nn Quinny, or [name]Quinn[/name].
[name]Leighton[/name] spelled [name]Layton[/name] or [name]Leyton[/name] is a good option too. [name]Leighton[/name] reminds me of [name]Leighton[/name] Meester.
I personally don’t know anyone called [name]Jayden[/name] or havnt heard anyone called it either, not in my part on [name]England[/name] anyway (my partner works in a nursery and picking a name is soooo hard as she associates every name with a child she has taught), [name]Jayden[/name] has never come up in 12 years of working there.
Get the feeling people dont like it on here, Oh well back to the drawing board I guess
[name]Ah[/name], [name]England[/name] that may explain it, [name]Jayden[/name] probably isn’t nearly as popular over there as it is here in the USA. Here it seems like every other baby is named that.
Oh haha, glad we cleared that up :0)
Thought I was living in a time warp or something
[name]Jayden[/name] is not very popular on NB! lol. It’s funny because between all the kids I see weekly at my church (many, many babies in the last few years) and all the kids I meet at work as a teacher, the ONLY [name]Jayden[/name] I know is the one related to me. I actually like [name]Jayden[/name]. A lot. But I can’t use it. I prefer the Biblical spelling [name]Jadon[/name]. I MUCH prefer [name]Jayden[/name] to Quinny.
I’d go with the rest and suggest [name]Quincy[/name], with the nickname Quinny.
Thanks Dindlee :0)
I work at a middle school in the US. There’s a huge amount of boys named [name]Jayden[/name]/[name]Jaydon[/name] and girls named [name]Jaylynn[/name]/[name]Jaylon[/name].
[name]Quinn[/name] and Quinny would probably be seen as venturing toward feminine in [name]America[/name], but most unisex names that have been overtaken over here by the girls are still commonly used for boys in the UK I think (like [name]Kendall[/name], [name]Addison[/name], [name]Avery[/name], and [name]Bailey[/name]). I do know a female [name]Quincy[/name], but I can easily see that on a boy. I also love [name]Quinlan[/name] and [name]Quinton[/name] (or [name]Quentin[/name], but then you don’t have the ideal [name]Quinn[/name] sound)!
I also feel like it is kind of uniquely a UK think to choose “nickname-y” sounding names over a full name with a nickname. Like using [name]Rosie[/name], [name]Poppy[/name], [name]Ellie[/name], [name]Alfie[/name], [name]Freddy[/name], etc. without the full name being [name]Rose[/name]/[name]Rosamund[/name], [name]Penelope[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Alfred[/name], and [name]Frederick[/name]. I think in that kind of environment, Quinny might blend in just fine. In the US however, I think Quinny would be looked at as a bit too “cutesy” and not professional enough, but that is just my interpretation of the naming environments in the two regions.
[name]How[/name] about a name that sort of smooshes the two options together: [name]Quinton[/name]. Same beginning as Quinny, same ending sound as [name]Jaydon[/name], yet still a very real masculine name. I might also suggest [name]Quinlan[/name].
I like [name]Quentin[/name] with the nn Quinny. Quinny sounds very nicknamey. I don’t think it would age very well.
