Braidyn ie: Braden

One of those headdesk stick a needle in my eye moments. Have you ever heard/seen Braden spelled creatively?

I just googled and seached the spelling on facebook and it's not that uncommon, but really, wtf.

Braidyn is bad. I confess that I do like Braden though.

One of my favorite shows when I was younger was the short-lived Summerland, where Jesse McCartney's character was Bradin.

I've only seen Braiden and Brayden. Usually Braydens are younger in my experience.
I've never seen Braden; it looks wrong to me (because it looks like BRAD-en and not BRAY-den.) Braiden is my preferred spelling because I don't associate it with trendiness or little kids.

Oh, have i ever. I have a bit of a list-making obsession, and I compile lists of names. One huge file I have is of variant/creative spellings I've seen (in real life and online). Braden and all the Aidan rhymes are on it, and I swear you can fill a book with all the different spellings. Here's some I've seen for Braden:

Bhrayden
Braydyn
Breydon
Braedynne (girl)
Breadyn (yes. BREAD.)
Braidn
Braeydon

I have seen Brayden before but Braidyn is much worse.
