In 2018, 3 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Jayden who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 1, 611th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.

The name Jayden was given to 389 girls born in the US in 2016.

A name that advertises lower education levels and/or socioeconomic status. It doesn't matter if this is true or not on an individual basis; nothing can change the fact that it is a name strongly associated with poorer, less educated people. (Not necessarily a bad thing, but true.)

Omg stop naming your kids Jayden. About 5 years ago it seems like 90% of new babies both girl and boy were being named Jayden. It was in the top 10 most common names in the US for a while. A former coworker had a baby a few years back and named her daughter this, and when I asked why she said she ran into someone else who named their baby this and thought it was cute. I bet roll call in first grade classes are like "Jayden A., Jayden B., Jayden M., Jayden N., Brian, Jayden W..."

I think it's a cute name and to all those who are saying how dare people divert from classic names, what on earth do you want the world to do call everyone Henry and Ethel? What you think is a tacky name is not to others and I bet half of those commenting poorly on the name have less than interesting or good names themselves. I have a very unusual name that I am more than scared of having now that I have seen a name as simple and common as Jayden be trash talked. Any name can be trashy if given to a trashy person. I work in a nursing home and have so many residents named Margaret, Phyllis, Jean, Joyce and Gwen not to mention the Les, John and Walters. Stop picking on the name, simply say I don't like it and move on, you become trash when you trash talk!
