I am on the April expecting board and there is a thread about our favorite names so far. My DH and I have pretty much decided on Jadyn, Jaidyn Christine (don't know which spelling yet) for a girl. A couple people have posted Jayden (same pronunciation) for a boy. I just always thought of this as a girl's name. Through friends i know of three Jaidyn's that are girls where i live. I'm just curious what anyone else thinks about naming a girl this. My DD's name is Rylee, which spelled Riley can also be a boy's name. Anyway, just curious what everyone else thinks of Jaidyn or Jadyn Christine??

I don't like these names (no offense) but I do think Jaidyn (ANY spelling) seems more like a girl name. For girls I simply don't care for it, but for boys I DETEST it. I would say Jayden/Jaden/Jaiden for boys is one of the worst possible names I can imagine.

Sorry to sound so negative! BTW I do like the MN Christine, I think it's lovely and being such a classic, it helps balance out the trendiness of Jaidyn to create a very nice name for your child!

I think the name Jadyn/Jaidyn is for girls. FWIW, a friend of mine who works in a hospital nursery says that the number of Jayden/Jaden's in the last 3 months has been "astronomical". She says she see cycles of names all the time, but this has been one of the most popular names during the last several months.

I think Jaidyn / Jadyn like Rylee/ Riley are bogth equally boy and girl names...I like the spelling Jaidyn better for both a boy and a girl. Its equally boy and girl
