a new baby and a flight attendant
My ex's daughter just had a baby. Aiden Patrick. Big sister is Mackenzie. I'm not positive of the spelling on Mackenzie but my ex did confirm the spelling of Aiden. I just flew domestically (within the US) and one of the flight attendants was named Goddess. This surprised me. Opinions on Aiden Patrick and Goddess?

Dislike both, but Goddess takes the cake! Why, oh why, would you name a human Goddess? I don't get it.

Aiden Patrick -meh whatever
Goddess -this is terrible. It sounds like the name of a stripper (no offense to her).

Aiden Patrick is all right but nothing special. Very white, very wannabe-Irish, very current, but not outstandingly bad. Not outstandingly anything, really.Goddess is trashy, there's no other word for it.

I have a great-nephew named Aidan, born in 1998. Remember when I said Brittany was a flash in the pan?: http://www.behindthename.com/top/name/brittanyWell, looks like Aidan is on its way to becoming the male Brittany: http://www.behindthename.com/top/name/aidanThe spelling difference doesn't matter. I never really saw the appeal of Aidan or Aiden.Goddess -- now there's a name for you! I would be so embarrassed to have that name if I were even one iota less beautiful than Helen of Troy.

the looks issue isn't even the worst of it ...It's just the basic absurdity of the name in ordinary everyday speech:
"Hey, Goddess, what's up?"
"Where's Goddess?" "I think she's in the bathroom."
"Hi, I'm Goddess and I'll be your server tonight."
"Goddess, for the bazillionth time, will you stop jumping on the furniture?!"
"I have to pick Goddess up from softball practice and take her to get her glasses adjusted."

Zayden! http://www.behindthename.com/name/zayden/topRaiden is supposed to be pronounced "rye den" (Japanese) but I guess a lot of people might be rhyming it with Aidan. Anybody seen one?

I had a look in a bored moment a while back (2011 US charts) & found 474 Raidens. Also: Blayden, Slayden, Dayden, Draiden, Layden, Nayden, Paydon, Raidyn, Shayden, Taydin, Traiden, Vayden, Xayden, Yaiden & Waden. All boys, although there are probably girls too - I didn't get that far.:)
