I am a female Jaiden. Personally I don't mind my name but you guys have to be joking. Complete immaturity and hostility in these comments. Downvote me and pity me all you want but you lot are acting like this name and all other -aidens and -adens are our fall from grace. Some names may not be in strong taste for many reasons, which for the most part I understand. But when you're nitpicking something as silly as a name and not anything more meaningful, that is another level of childish. Consider all other people who have not only been assigned this name, but everyone else who has a name, literally 99% of people on this planet. Be glad that we have been given the gift of names. In your lifetime you won't hold it forever, but it will leave a lasting legacy. A name is a reflection of your parents' love for you. Of course this means that my parents thought that the name Jaiden was of a special purpose to them and therefore applied it to me as such. I only strongly dislike names that don't make any sense in any context (see Elon Musk's naming patterns for some of his children) but just please have more sensibility.
Very juvenile, cheap, and unprofessional. It's also quite trendy and unimaginative. This spelling does seem a smidge more feminine than Jaden or Jayden, but it still sounds ridiculous on girls. Don't feed into the false belief that making up a spelling of a trendy name, however uncommon it may be, is "unique".
It makes me sad that everyone seems to hate this name, but I personally love it. I named my son Jaiden. He was born in 2010 and at the time I just heard the name and liked it. I never heard anything negative about it. The name is popular for his age group anyway so by the time he's an adult, it'll be a common name. Times are changing. To all the people that hate this name... more than likely your children will have a best friend or even be married to an Aiden/Jaiden/Jayden in the future. Get over it!

Dear god how I hate this 'name' and its millions of variants. I think the -aden trend is far worse than the -arry trend, at least there were names with that ending like Mary and Carrie before the trendy names like Larry and Barry came around, plus I don't think there was as much hesitation about how well those names would age. However, -aden doesn't even sound like a name. It just sounds rather unpleasant no matter what letter you put in front of it.

I get the feeling parents who choose the name "Jaiden" do so in the fond belief that it looks classier or more feminine than "Jayden". The poor, deluded fools.
I think this name is poop for either boy or girl. It's just Aiden (another sub-par yet trendy name) with a J tacked on. Incredibly tacky for a girl, and it's not great for a boy either. Either way, it gives the impression that their mother had them when she was a teenager and completely lacks creativity.
No matter how you spell this name, it's utter crap for females. It might work on tomboys, but when they hit age 13, the name already sounds bad on them, and it sounds bad on androgynous women, or will is more like it. I'm not against aden names on principle, as some rhyming names are inevitably popular. Just think of all the -ene and -een names of the forties and fifties and how they were forced upon country babies who were going to wind up ditzy. Think of names like Larry, Barry, Gary, Harry, and the likes. -aden names aren't that bad, but they sure are common, so having this name must be a pain in the ass for a kid.
