Caden
I like it. For a boy. I know it's not popular here, but I'm asking about it anyway. What do you think of Caden? Willoughby wolloughby willina, an elephant sat on Billina.

To be honest, I hate it. It is second only to Jayden (and its various spellings) as the worst -aden name IMO.

It's okay. By itself, not wholly objectionable; but in the face of the -aden craze, where even if I didn't post on BtN I'd still be flummoxed at the fact that every little boy I meet is either named Aidan (or a variant) or something ending in -aden / -ayden / -aiden et al, it's something I must stay far, far away from.

Meh. Very trendy and preppy.

If it weren't for how popular and trendy it was, which will now make it dated, its not a bad name. I also don't like the cad in it.

I like it. I like this spelling best too.

Nah, I don't like it. -aden names have become devoid of almost any substance, to me. Maybe if they get put to rest for a few decades I could warm to Caden (doubtful, but not impossible), but not now.I've been flirting with Cade lately, though. A Caden nn Cade might get a pass from me, but only if I could ignore that extra n for the bulk of his existence.

I like it. There's something comforting and mouth-satisfying about it.

I like it, but prefer Kaden by far.

I know it's not "new" and "tryndee", but I don't like any of the -den or -en names.

I like Cade quite a lot. Not so much Caden.

The first time I heard it, maybe 6 years ago, I thought it was cool and fresh. But then it seemed that every new baby boy I met had the name Caden/Kaiden/Kayden/Caedin/etc. It's just feels tired to me now. However, at the basest of the name, it is simple, easy to say and a strong rounded out sound. It works, but I would let it rest.

I actually love the sound of the -aden names, it's just the fact that there are so many of them and so many spelling variations that turns me off them. I think I like Kaden a little better (I like Kaleb better than Caleb too).
I use Kaedyn a lot for female sims too.

I like it. I don't care if it's tryndee or too popular. It's a nice name, even spelled with a K. So there. Haha.

My son's partner is related to a little boy named Kaden.Kind of an over-used name,but he's a dear little boy, and actually, I don't know any others, living where I do.

I like it's sound and I don't think it's a terrible name but it'll always be lumped in with the -ayden bunch and that's a no-go for me.

I like it pretty well. It's not a favorite. It sounds good, though. Trendy of course, but seems more substantial than some trendy names. It's likeable, sounds masculine enough, doesn't try hard.

I used to like Cade. A lot. Just Cade. And then the -aden epidemic of horrific proportions occurred. And now I just can't like any of them and anything close. It's just annoying in its sameness-yet-all-thinking-it's-not-the-same.

That -aden frenzy was/is real. It's more of an AY-N sound frenzy. My son's baseball team includes a Peyton, Kaden, and Jayden. Trying to learn who's who is challenging. Even Donovan and Aaron get mixed up with others, in this roster. But, they're real kids so it's more just funny, not really annoying.
