I’ve loved [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] for a long time, but I’ve always been hesitant to add it to my list since it’s kind of unusual. I hadn’t thought about it in awhile until I saw another baby name nerd talk about it in a recent Youtube video. Now I can’t get it out of my head. I think it’s so handsome and underused. I love that it has the nickname Caed/[name_u]Cade[/name_u] with it too.
What do you all think of [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m]? Is it usable? What middle names would you pair with it? You can go as traditional or as unusual as you like. Excited to hear your thoughts and read your middle name suggestions!
I love it. I think it’s really pretty but still very masculine, and I love that it has a history. I like it with some of the other names you’ve listed, too, and I like the sounds of [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] [name_u]Rhys[/name_u], [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m], [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u], and [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] a lot. I think you would be able to find lots of names to complement it!
I thought a few based on some of your other choices:
Wow! Very different opinions on this one. Keep them coming! [name_u]Love[/name_u] the suggestion of [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m]. Very handsome!
[name_m]Just[/name_m] to clarify, I pronounce it like [name_u]Cade[/name_u]-mun. (I’m terrible with writing out pronunciations. lol)
Hey, stumbled across this post after searching for the name [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m]. I knew a total clown with this name, and the nickname Caed I didn’t like either. Also it does remind me of the word Caveman, I’m surprised someone else said that… ~ [name_m]Just[/name_m] my opinion on it. (I also pronounce it the same way.)
Although it sounds nothing like it, I immediately think of cardamom (the spice). I don’t know why though.
I think the Caed sound is a bit to close to more feminine names like [name_f]Kate[/name_f] or [name_f]Kayla[/name_f] for example for it to really fit on a boy well… but that is just my opinion.
I originally thought it was Cardamom so it’s better then that but not really much. For [name_u]Cade[/name_u] I’d rather [name_m]Caden[/name_m] then this.I feel it’s a bit much to wear in real life.
At first I thought I saw Condom. It uses a lot of the same letters! Now I’m trying to like this name, but I just can’t, for obvious reasons. I’m sorry if this seems crude, but it’s my honest opinion.
[name_m]Caedmon[/name_m] is totally usable. It’s not my personal taste, but I’m not into Caed/[name_u]Cade[/name_u] or [name_m]Caden[/name_m] so naturally I’m not jumping for this one either. However, I would not bat an eye meeting a little [name_m]Caedmon[/name_m], and it would be nice to see. The poet Cædmon is a really cool namesake.
