In my experience as a secondary teacher, most of the [name_u]Jayden[/name_u]’s/Braydens/Kaidons that I’ve met have been complete and utter d-bags.
I haven’t yet been able to figure out why! Are they doomed to be that way when they’re given these names? [name_f]Do[/name_f] these names make kids act like this ??
So the jerks in my life as a teen were…
[name_m]Jake[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_m]Joshua[/name_m]
[name_m]Aaron[/name_m]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_u]Cameron[/name_u]
[name_u]Aidan[/name_u]
@sarahjane1 Maybe it’s a connection between the parents who are willing to give their children aiden/ayden names and the way they raise their children. More of a nurture then a nature.
I think I can recall being tormented by a [name_u]Brayden[/name_u] in my youth. I’m definitely considering it.
Not to repeat it again but [name_m]Chad[/name_m] is a no-brainer (maybe too on the nose) so here’s a few others from my current hs and past school experience:
Dylan/Dillon
initial names like DJ, TJ, etc. (Bonus points if their real name is super stuck up)
Logan
Jacob
Richard
Toby
Hayden
Caidyn/Cayden
Robert/Bobby
Joseph/Joey
Michael
Ryan
Ty/Tyler
There’s definitely more but I can’t think of them atm
@the_common_fool [name_m]Chad[/name_m] is a bit on the nose, though I’m still considering it. Also, thanks for the suggestion of TJ! I like that one (or AJ). [name_u]Tyler[/name_u] [name_u]Jaden[/name_u] or [name_u]Aiden[/name_u] [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m], perhaps?
