It is an Irish LAST NAME, it means "SALMON" in Gaelic so I guess if you want to name your kid after a fish...

I know I really dislike people giving surnames as first names. I dont mind names with odd meanings (hey might be a way to get the kid to eat fish/be interested in nature) but the last name thing annoys me.

It's funny you know, people spend so much time choosing a name with a good ' meaning'. If you actually reaserch long enough you will see that one name can have many meanings. That can make it ultra confusing.
So my theory is this, don't bother choosing a name because of its 'meaning' cos chances are it doesn't mean what you think it does. Just choose a name that you like, as long as you keep in mind that the child has to grow up and spend the rest of his/her life with that name.
I quite like the name Braydon.
Cheers.

i dont care for it myself.i have heard it as a last name and that sounds rather manly.for a first name i would say brady is a better choice.i know people with that name.but to each their own i have heard worse at least it sounds like a real name not something someone made up trying to be cool!

personally, i love the name Brayden infact we were thinking of nameing our next Brayden. i think it is unique. and how many people really look into what it means, and yeah it may mean salmon in irish but to some people like me, it doesnt really matter. i love the name, just my taste..

Honey, it ain't unique any more. EVERYBODY is naming their kid this trendy name, or something that rhymes with it.
