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 ?? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m in NZ btw for reference. ---

From my experience, no offense to anyone with these names, you could be a lovely person.

@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? ---
