There was a time when people shoved an 'i' in the slot of the unstressed vowel in an unstressed syllable, and replaced 'y's with 'i's. It was quite a sure way to make names appear cutesy and immature, but it wasn't as bad as shoving a 'y' to every single unstressed vowel slot is. It doesn't look nice, and the name is still pronounced the same way, and I don't understand the supposed feminizing power of the mighty 'y' at all. This name sounds masculine, and spelling it with a 'y' or 'i' doesn't make it any more feminine.
I love this name for a girl! I would spell it Jaedyn. It's just cuter that way! I want to name my future daughter Jaedyn-Nicole. Yes, as a whole first name. The Nicole is for added feminine flair!

I love the name Jadyn. It's not overused or common. It could be a boy or girl's name. You could also make several different nicknames for it! Overall, I give it a thumbs up.
One of my cousins named her second daughter Jadyn. She's very smart and very pretty and carries this name well. I don't normally go for an alternative spelling, but this one is cute.
Jadyn? Nah. I don't like thys spellyng. Wyth some exceptions, I'm not that fond of the trynd where you put Ys where vowyl sounds should be. I mean, symetimes it wyrks, but symetimes it makes a name look tackiyr that it rylly is, and you rysk lookyng way too youthfyl and unintellygynt.
And I hate to bash the personal opinions of others, especially with name choices, but perhaps Jade-Nicole or Nicole-Jade would fare better than Jaedyn-Nicole.
