I know a bit of Dutch, and Djayden would certainly be an easy way of getting the J to sound like a J and not a Y - think the different between Jan (short for Janet) and Jan (sounds like Yan, Dutch for John). I don't know how many, if any, Dutch Djaydens walk the streets, but it's possible.

I second this

I'm Dutch and these were my thoughts exactly. I think it might be a bit too much of a modern name to legitimately call it a Dutch version of Jayden, though. And if you really wanted to spell it so it would be pronounced like Jayden in English I think you'd have to spell it Djeeden.
