    That joke would have been hilarious if you hadn't stolen it from me already.

    Top 10 Names for 2009 (according to Social Security Administration)
    1 Jacob
    2 Ethan
    3 Michael
    4 Alexander
    5 William
    6 Joshua
    7 Daniel
    8 Jayden
    9 Noah
    10 Anthony
    Who honestly wants to be named Noah? As a guy? Of course the name has history, we all know and understand it is a male name...but it sounds generic if you think of it by removing any knowledge of the name that you have, almost more on a girl name because of the "a" sound ending.


    Jayden doesn't sound bad, the spelling for some reason just bothers me, probably with the trend of these girly boy names ending in "en"... Jayden is also a borderline female pornstar name.
    The whole "en" thing, Jayden, Cayden, Gayden...I don't know, I'm obviously not going off any information from surveys, but I just get the impression that women are naturally thinking "cute" in their minds in association with a baby coming, when they should be thinking "boy".

    A co-worker of mine wants to name her soon to be son Cason. I don't think Cayden is as bad a Cason.

    Do y'all have any other kids or will this be your first? Are there any family names that would fit well or that y'all are thinking of including? These are all things that people usually consider when naming their kids.

    That being said right now I am really in love with the name Xavier Ryan.

    Make sure the last letter/sound of the first name isn't the same as the first letter of your last name. That is all.

    William Morris
    Johnny Young
    Darrin Newton

    Nothing wrong with any of those.

    What is up with parents these days looking for some unique name for their kids? Do you think some wacko name is going to cause your little crumb crunchers to stand out?

    NEWS FLASH: Your kid is not unique. Your kid is not special. Any "unique" name you can think of has probably been thought up by some other o parent who thinks their kid is unique and special. You want your kids name to be unique? Name him Sam, Robert, Jack, Josh, John, Richard, Ted, Allen, Anthony, etc. Chances are Robert will stand out among Cayden, Jayden, Kasyn, Nevaeh, and every other stupid trendy name out there.

    My wife and I just had a baby 12 weeks ago and named him Dylan. We also liked Caleb, Jack(son), Lane, Parker and Reid.
    Those last four sound more like last names to me.

    I'm so glad everyone's ranking on Cayden already.

    Cayden, Brayden, Jayden, Aiden, Payden and any different spellings of all those names = LAME


    Those names are the white equivalent of all those ghetto black names that keep popping up.

    Obviously there are a litany of exceptions. Per your examples, the am sound in William sharpens the contrast between itself and the starting M in Morris. The EEE sounding Y in Johnny contrasts with the Ya sound in young.

    But as a general rule of thumb, and this is where my parents messed my name up, I would encourage people to think about contrast between first and last names. My first name ends with the same sound that my last name begins with and thus I pronounce my full name with an distinct/extra-long pause, so as to differentiate between the two names and not sound like I'm slurring all drunk like.

    Having sharp contrast b/n two names is better. For example Tom Jacoby is better than Tom Morris. One sounds like two names, the other sounds like Tomorous.

    I take it that you never watched Sex and the City? That's where the trend comes from... Aiden (actually Aidan Shaw) was Carrie's boyfriend for a while.

    I hate those stupid names as well. LaMichael, LaMarcus, DeJuan, LeBron, etc blah blah blah

    Grab any ing name and put a La or Le or De or whatever and it's cool and trendy.

    Aiden is the wholesome sweet loving monogamous guy from Sex and the City that most girls would love to have. Since women want their sons to be that way instead of women chasing playas, that's probably where the e of that name came from.

    Irony is that Aiden STILL ends up getting played...

    I'm having trouble coming up with examples where this is a problem such as you describe. Obviously you can't put your own name out there, but would like to see some examples.

    I'm thinking he means something like "Sam Moore" or "Bill Lee" maybe?

    Well tbh girls in general are also largely obsessed with all of the Twilight bull , but there's no way I'm gonna satisfy one by taking her to the theater to see New Moon or w/e it was called, ya dig?



    Going to the movie theater to see twilight is actually worse than throwing 20-30 dollars in the trash. I'd rather do that because at least I wouldn't have to watch the movie.
