I honestly don’t like it, especially the sound. Strangely enough, I’ve never met anyone named Paden before…isn’t it trendy or something?

It doesn't sound too bad. Probably my favorite of all the trendy -aiden names. However, I prefer established names to recently coined ones.

My parents named me this, actually Payden, they got it from the '85 movie called Silverado. It is the last name of the character Kevin Kline plays. They call him by his last name in the movie. My parents added the Y to make is seem more feminine. I always get positive comments on it. Plus it is easy to pronounce once I say it sounds "like paid in full" I always get a laugh from that.

I know a really genuine, sweet guy with this name and I really love it. I've never heard anyone else have it, but it has a nice sound to it and it just fits him. It's not a common name, but it's not one of those overdone "younique" names either. It's simple, yet very pleasant.

This is actually a variation of [Payton] via the spelling [Payden].

I think it's a beautiful, definitely not trendy, name.

Yuck. Sounds like that horrible name, Payton. I guess you could consider Payton/Peyton part of the -aden trend, it sounds very similar to that sound. I hope to god this name doesn't ever show up on the top 1000.

Paden seems like someone couldn't chose between Payton and Jayden.

Sounds WAY too trendy. People are going to be using this when they get sick of Jaden, Brayden, Caden, and Aiden.

The name is not pronounced PAD, en. It is correctly pronounced PADE, n (PAID, n) (PAY, den).

There were 2,645 persons with the surname Paden in the 1950 USA census. It is probably a variation of an English surname, either Payton (from places called Peyton in Essex and Suffolk), or of Padan, Padyn, and Peden, which are medieval diminutives of Patrick, according to Hanks and Hodges' "A Dictionary of Surnames."
So though Paden's use has certainly increased because of its rhyming with Kaden, Brayden, Jayden, etc., it is not actually just a new creation based on them. [noted -ed]
