I know that it is a Turkish name but I think that people are using it as a "Kreatyve" way to spell Aiden.

I'm sure a lot of American parents don't know that this is a Turkish name and think it's another spelling of Aidan. I like this name in Turkish, but not in English.
As I'm part Turkish it is pronounced 'i - den'. This name has NOTHING to do with the name Aiden. In Turkey there is a town called Aydin, this is where it has come from.
