Comments for CADEN:

I kind of like it (Cade) - maybe change it to "Casen" then (Case).

I much prefer this spelling over "Kaden".

Sure, this will be cute for a little boy, but children grow up, and where will they be when they reach adulthood and still have these sickeningly trendy names? This looks and sounds ridiculous for an adult. Spare your son and choose something that will age well, something practical.

And as a Gaelic speaker, would somebody please tell me why these beautiful, dignified old names are being mangled and turned into these obnoxiously trendy nightmares? Not just nightmares, but mockeries of the original, as well.

A famous bearer is Cayden Boyd. They don't have the name 'Cayden' on the database.

I actually had a friend named Caden who was a girl. Now, even though I've some boys named Caden as well, I always have trouble thinking of it as a boy's name. I'm also wondering of the late why she was named Caden in the first place as it isn't a girl's name at all.

Yet another annoying, trendy name.

There is one reason why I’m not fond over this name. One nickname for Caden would probably be Cady. Cady would be WAY to cutesie for a boy and it's primarily just a girls name. Overall it’s not a bad name. But parents call your son Caden or Cade. Please don’t ever call him Cady!

It is a trendy name. But I can stand it on a boy. As long as I don’t see it on a girl, or it’s not spelled Kaidyn or something, I’m fine. In fact, I don't think the name is all that bad.

Um I don't know how this name can be so trendy when I have never even met a Caden in my whole life. This name isn't like Josh or Daniel, both being very popular.

Joshua and Daniel, while popular, are not trendy names. A trendy name is one that shoots up in popularity seemingly over night. A trendy name likely will not age well as trends come and go. Names like Joshua or Daniel are timeless classics. If you meet a Daniel, you won't automatically assume he is a baby or a child, as there are many 2 year old Daniels, 25 year old Daniels, 50 year old Daniels, and 80 year old Daniels. Same with Joshua. Both are timeless and ageless.

Caden, however is very trendy. Right now, Cadens are (at most) 8 years old and younger. Most are under 4. It's not surprising that you've never met a Caden in your life as it's a fairly new trend.

It's really not that bad of a name. My little cousin is named Caden. My aunt said that it means "spirit of the battle" in some Native American language. But then again, she is insane.

Caden is so cute for a little boy.

-- Emeline  6/29/2007

This is one of my favorite boy's names! Though I spell it Kayden. If I ever have a boy, I'm going to name him Wolf Kayden. I told this to my sister, and she really likes Kayden too, though she spelled it Caidan. If she ever has a boy, she wants to name him Caidan.

We named our first son Caden and I'm so sick and tired of everyone saying it's trendy and overused and stinks. I have to say, this is an old name that was in our family! We named him after a relative. It really is a wonderful name for a boy that means fighter. It grows very well with a child as it's a name that many adults had in older days!

Caden, Hayden, Brayden, Jayden: Mayden Uppden!

-- Anonymous User  10/22/2007

This name is growing on me. I know names like Hayden and Jayden are unisex, but Caden or Cayden sounds all masculine to me. I adore trendy names, as long as they aren't unisex or surnames.

-- Emma McHnery  11/15/2007

This name may be trendy but it's not that bad. I hate the spelling Kayden though.

-- mum2bubba  11/28/2007

I actually love Caden, I think it's more masculine when spelt Kaiden, I would never name a girl that though, there are prettier names.

-- Anonymous User  4/1/2008

I would just like to say I named my daughter Kadin in 2004 and I had never heard the name before. Also it means "woman" in Turkish.

-- lizz01  4/18/2008

Yuck. Caden is a tacky made-up name. Can't people use names that DON'T end in -aden?

-- bananarama  7/25/2008

My son is called Caden. I think Caden is a great name, I don't think its 'trendy' as others have said. I live in London ( England) and it's not as popular here as in the U.S.A. I think variations of the name do ruin it though (Kaiden Kaden Caiden Cayden etc). I actually see the variations more often then the original name.

-- Miss_B1989  9/8/2008

I've recently decided that I love this name. It's so cute, and I think it could potentially age well. I definitely love this spelling the most though. Cade would be a good nickname as well.

-- DorktasticKelly  12/18/2008

Why are there so many little boys running around with this name in the US? As the above poster said, there seems to be some sort of fixation with the -aden suffix. It has an cheesy urban cowboy feel to it. Is there an actor or a city that started this whole disaster (like Hayden Panettiere set off with her equally awful name)? I suppose it could be worse. It could be Dallas or Austin.

-- faye  2/26/2009

This name is so ugly, especially on girls.

-- number1212  5/14/2009

Sure, this name is trendy. But at least it's spelled right and isn't Kaydin or some nightmare like that. Overall, it's not that bad a name.
