Adrian. I am definetly okay with Aidan and maybe Aiden, but not when people start spelling the name in strange ways like Ayden and Aydon or something. You can't do that with Adrian. Also, I love Aideen and Adrienne for girls which are sort of the closest feminine name to each.

I prefer Adrian because it's more attractive-sounding. Aidan / Aiden makes me think of a total dweeb of a kid with glasses, whereas I think of Adrian as a tall, muscular, handsome guy with blond hair and maybe a goatee.

Aidan. It sounds nicer than Adrian.

I would willingly use Adrian IRL, and would never consider Aidan, or any other -aden name if it comes to that.

But even before the -aden name fashion, I would still have preferred Adrian. I prefer Roman emperors and their walls.

Aidan. I love the sound of Aidan. It has totally been ruined by all of the horrible spellings and variants but Aidan is still a great name. Adrian just doesn't sound as nice.

I have a nephew named Adrian, and I've never really liked the name. I love Aidan though. It's softer, and I prefer the way it looks.

I prefer Adrian because it's more classy of the two. Despite its trendiness I find Aidan quite nice, though (but only this spelling!).

As much as I dislike Adrian as a name (*really* bad association for me), it's still better than Aidan (or any -aden rhyming name) IMO, just because of the trendiness / overuse / etc. So I'll have to vote for Adrian.

Adrian by a mile.

Aidan. But Adrian is nice too.

I hate them both, but I would go with Adrian. I actually know an eight year old named Adrian.

Adrian!!!

I'm fine with Aidan but without a doubt I prefer Adrian. It sounds more mature, handsome, super attractive along with other positive adjectives.
Adrian is within the top of my favorites. Love, love, love it!
