is naming their kid Aiden or Jayden.
would you say it's cuz of Britney Spears?
correct me if im wrong, but Jayden doesnt have a meaning.
Aiden does though it means "little fire"

Actually i did name my kid after the singer. might sound cheesy but i did. i didnt mean the Britney thing as a bad thing so you dont have to be so mad at that.

when my daughter was born 5.5 yrs ago she was going to be named Aidan if she was a boy, after Carrie's boyfriend Aidan from sex and the city cos he was hot!! Tragic I know but I loved the name.
Back then I knew no-one's children with that name. Same goes for my girlfriend with a 6.5 yr old boy named Jaden.
But since then the name has just gotten more and more popular and all its derivitives have turned up too.
Aidan is acutally quite an old name but has grown in popularity in the last 6 years and is reaching a peak this year I think. I don't think it has anything to do with Ms Spears because, really, who on earth would want anything that tied them to her lol!!
Personally I'm so glad I had a girl and called her Eliza not a boy called Aidan as I really can't stand the name and its derivitives anymore because there are just too damn many of them running around!!

When I was there were always a lot of kids called "Kathy" (var. spellings) and "Bobby", so my younger brother and I always went by our full names, "Kathleen" and "Robert." I think the thing with Aiden (Jayden, Braden, Kaden, etc.) or Mikala (McKayla, Makaela, McAyla, etc.) or any other name that is newer and/or unusual amongst white people is connected to the same phenomena that we saw amongst black people starting in the 70's: just wanting our children to have "different" names than the other children. In my family, everyone is named after someone from a previous generation, hence the names Benton, Garland, Eloyce, Imogene, etc.

I don't know why....There are so many Jayden's (different spellings for both boys & girls) in my sons classroom. I think the name is so overused.
I do not think it is because of Britney Spears cause all these kids in my son's classroom are 6 years old.
I don't know anyone named Aiden.

Aiden did get popular fast.
I know 5 people that JUST had babies within the past year that named their sons/daughters that...
I also know of a couple of Jaden's, Laden, and Brayden's.
I don't think it has anything to do with Spears though.

I think Britney is a victim of the same trend as everyone else. She's a follower, not a leader.

i don't think it has to do with Britney Spears, i think it's just a fad. When i ws born, Ashley was a popular name. Every class i ever had in school there was at least one other Ashley, in one of my classes there was 6 of us!

I think it's just people experimenting with names with specific ending, starting or middle syllables.
