Comments for AIDEN:

I love this spelling much more than Aidan; it looks a lot prettier.

There is a band named Aiden they are rather good too!

Aiden is half of my name; I think that it is really classic and androgynous.

This is a trendy butchering of the male name *Aidan*. It is simply a misspelling of a masculine name and is not suitable for anyone, least of all females.

To the user that claimed Aiden was a trendy butchering of "Aidan", what butchering is going on here? ONE letter was changed from the origional. It's not like this is spelled "Aiydynne", or something- that would be a butchering. Aiden is simply a variant of Aidan, and barely so. I actually like both of these names, although their popularity is rather high at the moment.

I have heard this name is Celtic for "Fire".

I have heard Aiden used as a girl's name and I think it's pretty like that. I am not fond of the masculine usage.

I like this name very much for boys, not girls. I wish it wasn't so popular, though. I also prefer this spelling over all the others.

Aiden is actually a legitimate name in its own right. It's a Hebrew name and a variant of Eden and is pronounced much the same way as Eden.

Aiden is the leading human male character in Annette Curtis Klause's "Blood and Chocolate" who happens to have some hippie-like qualities.

I love this name. It sounds sexy in a way. It's a name of a good band too. I would love to name my kid this, preferably a boy.

Aiden is an American post-hardcore band from Seattle, Washington.

Silly name given to their sons by Americans who only have the most tenuous and superficial connection to Irish culture, and little connection to their own, but who want to capitalize on Irish trendiness. The kind of people who probably couldn't even find Ireland on the map. Skip this name, prospective parents.

What if you actuly ARE Irish? Hmmm? Then can you name your kid this?

Get over yourself, and the use of Aiden. We chose it simply because we like it, and not because of any "tenuous and superficial connection to Irish culture".

Aiden is one of the cute little Asian boys on Jon and Kate Plus 8. But his name is spelled Aaden.

My wife and I named our son Aiden because we simply like the name. No connection to Irish heritage or a famous person. We just like the way it sounds, masculine yet not too rough, and THOUGHT it was uncommon. Only after we had settled on it did we find out how popular it is - and all the names that sounds like it. We are certainly disappointed about that, but ultimately we are happy with our choice and I have never seen a more appropriately named child. He is certainly a fiery spirit!

When a teacher at my school named her son this in 2000 or 2001, I thought it was cool. Now I think it is fadish.

-- Anonymous User  4/22/2008

I hate this name. It sounds so tacky and babyish. Also, every other boy seems to be named Aiden, Jaden, Caden, or Brayden. Now they're even being given to girls (barf). Why do people like these names?

-- bananarama  7/15/2008

I think because of the band "Aiden" it is becoming wildly popular with the younger emo and rocker people. When I see this name, I think of either a hard-core rocker dude or a cute little blonde toddler. Hmmmm. I do love this name though.

-- UnicornMacMac  8/20/2008

Aiden and his pals Jaiden, Kaiden, Braiden and Rayden rival Nevaeh for most repulsive trends of the 2000's. Ugh. I swear, you can't chuck a stone in a kid's playpark without hitting an Aidan any more.
Parents, find something else to beat to death already, please? All these names sound incredibly babyish, and I'm sick of hearing them.

Aiden Falconer is one of the main characters in the series On The Run writte by Gordon Korman.

This was my great-great-uncle's name, so I might use it as a middle name, but I do not like it enough to use as a first name. The name sounds too strange and old to me.

-- Anonymous User  1/21/2009

Means Fire.

I don't dislike the name Aidan, but spelling it Aiden just makes it look ugly. It also makes me want to pronounce it Ay-DEN instead of AID-an. Vowels actually mean something; they're not just stuck in names willy-nilly because they look nice.

-- Anyechka  8/24/2009

My brother is named Aiden. When my parents named him this the name wasn't very popular but now it is one of the most popular name in the USA. I think it is a very unique name which has a nice sound to it.

-- Milena Scialfa  10/18/2009

I used to like the name, but now I'm kinda sick of hearing it. I HATE the Aiden spelling. The original spelling is Aedan or Aodhan. I'm not saying that Americans should spell it that way, but Aidan is the original English spelling. Aiden just looks butchered.

-- McHobbit  10/25/2009

Tacky and faddish. You couldn't swing a cat in a trailer park without hitting five of them.
