Kaden

To both prior messages: sup, "Kaden" reporting in, those who know me as well as me myself pronounce my name as "/keɪdn̩/" or "/keɪɾn̩/", sometimes with the "d" barely loud enough to notice. I can't comment meaningfully on either of the two claims made, as neither of you used the international phonetic alphabet. Not to be a sniveling pedant, but any discussion of how given names "should" be pronounced is worth peanuts if no one uses IPA; it's immensely helpful, especially due to the fact that English has so many dialects, many of which differ in vowel inventory and consonant realizations. (I'll respell it phonetically in General American English for people who have lives and don't research things they'll never need to use: eɪ as in hEY, ɾ as in buTTer or waTer, and the mark under the N means that it makes up a syllable without a vowel.)

Or you could use a pronunciation respelling system, there are generally recognized standards there too. That being said, this is how I'd pronounce my name, written in Dictionary.com's PRS: keydin. Probably not as ambiguous as the IPA text would be to someone who knows IPA, but I digress.

If you for some reason are conducting a survey of Kadens: born + living in western half of Pennsylvania, 17 years old, cisgender male, small town.
I'm the only one named Kaden, one or two(?) others are Cadens.
If you stumbled across this brick of text and had fun reading it, I'm glad. Have a good...period of time? Hell if I know lol

This name should actually be pronounced KAYD-n.
