What do you think about the name Aidan?

Thoughts on [name_u]Aidan[/name_u]?

I really, really like it but the popularity level and number of new spellings and rhyming names has kept it off my list

I know it’s considered trendy but i love the meaning and sound

[name_f]My[/name_f] absolutely favourite “-den” name. I love its sound and its meaning. I like how soft yet fierce it is.

Not a fan because of how popular and trendy it seems to be. Also have seen it spelled a few different ways which might make spelling difficult.

The overuse of all -aiden ending names in the past 2 decades makes it seem a bit boring. I do prefer the [name_u]Aidan[/name_u] spelling to any others, though [name_u]Aiden[/name_u] is also pretty standard. Some people like to stick in a Y.

It’s a fine name but has been very popular/common/over used, so has lost its shine for me.

I think it’s a lovely name. Was super popular the last few years but I think recently it’s a little less common.

A little too common for my taste

It’s so widely popular amongst folks my age and a bit younger that I would have a hard time using it personally, but I do think it’s a nice name!

Sounds a little too american for my taste

It has going for it that it’s the most “classic” of all the -aden names, but as a lot of previous posters has said, it’s a little boring. It’s also on the decline…it was SUPER popular (along with [name_m]Braden[/name_m], [name_m]Cayden[/name_m], etc.) about 5-8 years ago, so the fact that it’s less so now kind of makes it feel dated to the early 2010s IMO.

I like it a lot! So much better than its spin-offs (Caiden, [name_u]Jayden[/name_u], Zayden).
