Aidan meaning

Aidan really means fire, i know someone who is as his name'sounds.

Our 10 year old is named Aidan Sean. The name fits him to a T and we're glad we chose it.

We named our 1st son Kaden b/c we came acrossed Kade in a baby book, but I didn't want to name him just Kade, so we added an "n" and got Kaden. I knew it wasn't that unique, but at least it Isn't in the top 50 in 2021. The other name we had selected originally was Deacon, much more unique, but then his nickname would have been Deac, which would have only meant one thing..."Deac the Geek". That is the other reason we selected Kaden, try coming up with a bad nickname for that!!!

hI'my name is Aidan im from Cork in Ireland i realy like the name as its unique but n't too different and its just cool.

This is the name of my son. It is derived from Ireland and originally was MacBrady. It means spirited and fits my five year old so well! I honestly picked the name from my favorite soap opera character on Days of Our Lives. Brady was a handsome, strong, intelligent and caring individual, exactly what a mother would want in a son! I'must say it is spelled and pronounced incorrectly, alot! We get called Bradly, Brandy and Brody quite frequently. Overall, a good name and I love it!

My brother's name is Aidan, and i really like it.Also, just to say Aidan, spelled backwards is Nadia!!!

my father is Aidan, his grandfather is Aidin. I am also Aidan, as is my firstborn. We have landed.

My name is Aidan, I think it is a great name, the only thing I am n't keen on is that it always gets spelled wrong. But the meaning 'fiery' defin'tly fits me, because I get angry quite easily. I don't know many people with the'same name from me, apart from a couple of Aidan's at school.

My son(who is almost 6)is called Aidan, but in holland where we live,people can't pronounce it properly. his teacher, has still difficulties pronouncing the name. The name fits him really right, he is our own little Knight. I really love the name.

I think this name is so cute! I agree its not that popular nor ordinary. I think names like Justin or Ryan are very common...not Aiden. Im thinking about using it but Im not sure on a middle name to go with it.

i am eight and a half months pregnant with my fifth child i came across the name by a co worker who has a five and a half month old grandson named aiden i love the name for my daughter and intend to name her this it is also the name of a csi character aiden burns my other children names are Ferguson(boy) Luetta(girl) Anthony(boy) and Bobbijoe(girl) the name aidan gets a thumbs up from me

We named our son Aidan when he was born in late 2013. We opted for the Gaelic spelling too as it felt more "correct". We chose the name because we're both of celtic origin and he had a full head of fire red hair when he was born.

Similar experience to some of the other posters. My name is Aidan and I was born in 2002 when'there were very few othe's Aidans around, and was passed down'the name through my Irish ancestry (names are recycled from middle to first etc). Kind sad to hear it called out so much with all these little kids running around; the awful, butchered spelling of the name as well ...

I named my daughter Aidan in 2002, thinking it would be original. Since our background is Korean, we felt that'she would have a rare name (combo Irish-Korean). Her name has become unbelievably popular amongst adults in Korea who just pick European 1st names and add them on'to their own! Can you beli've (haha)❤️ -- Sort of backfired on us! Lots of people pronounce it ayeedan (go figure) & she gets a lot of mail addressed to Mister...

My son Aidan is now 16 years old and when he was an infant everyone assumed we made the name up. I think he was probably 6 or 7 years old before he ever meet someone with his same name. I love the fact than people of non-Irish decent are using the name but I don't get it when'they find the need to mis-spell it because they're n't "Irish"! I'makes no sense at all.

My husband and I named our second son Aidan, born 2017. We knew it was becoming very popular, and we struggled with that, but in'the end it was the one boys name that we both loved. Just today, while getting our Aidan's pictures taken, there was an'ther Aidan getting his pictures taken. Lots of people do spell the name Aiden when'they send letters, e-mails, etc. We went with the "an" ending (Aidan) because it was the more common way to spell the name. There's worse things in'the world than having a common name.

My son, Aidan, was born in 2015. When he was born, most people spelledit Aidan. Now all the personalized things in stores spell it Aiden. I hate that because he can't get a personalized keychain, bike license plate, etc. And people con'tantly misspell it Aiden. His teache's do, the dr's office, etc. I would like to kow why the trend shifted to spelling it Aiden.

named my DAUGHTER Ayden in 2017 and absolutely love it

My brother was born three days ago and my mom named him aiden. its a beautiful name for a beautiful baby

My son's name ( he is 7 months is Aidan ) , I named him after my name ' Nadia ' backwards :) And he has redhair just like a little irish boy!

We named our son Aidan in 2003, he was the only one we knew for a long time. When he'started kindergarten, a 5th grade boy was also Aidan and "big Aidan" went right down'to my son's class to meet an'ther Aidan, they were both so excited! Now the name has gotten much more common. We don't have to repeat It'so often! I am tired of it being spelled with the en, we are forever having it corrected.

Thinking of naming my son Maddox. i've always like the name for whatever reason. I was a little disappointed when I found out Angelina used the name because I knew people would equate the name with her child because she's so popular.

Haven't met many - but this is my son's name. It is occasionally spelled incorrectly - but aren't many names. I think It's a great character name.

My Aidan is a 18 month boy. We chose his name in'the womb and thought it was unique. Come to find out it is very popular these days. His mother is a red haired Irish/English and I am full Vietnamese with black hair. My wife wanted to have an Irish name. We found that Aidan is the traditional Irish spelling. He has fair skin and copper/brown hair, big brown eyes, with some Asian features. We did n't know what to expect, but he turned out to be a good looking kid.

Love the name, but with the popularity increasing so much in such a short period of time, you have to wonder if it will be around for a while or if it will just be a name for the generation born in'the 2002s and 2012s.

my name is Aidan and everybody at my school is named Aidan or some other'spelling and the teache's always spell it wroung and some just call me totally different names like Aiden or adam becuase they dont know how to spellit and and at least 10 other boys are named Aidan in my GRADE.

we thought that the name Caiden was original (or close to it) when we named our son (born April2018) but everyone knows someone now who is naming there baby Caiden'too! usually other people spell it differently though.

We named my son Cade in 2016. I am continually spelling it for new people we meet, but once you get used to saying it and knowing him as Cade, It's a great name!

i second above my oldest son named kingston james n i considering aidan for my 2nd one but cant find middle name.help me!!!

I need some opinions. I have a son named Isaac. I am currently pregnant with a 2nd little boy that is due in 3 weeks. We are having such a hard time deciding. I like Isaiah and my husband likes Aidan. Does anyone think that having an Isaac and Isaiah is too close❤️ They obviously arent twins, so would it be strange to name them like that❤️ I like Aidan, but I hear it a lot. I have never heard the name Isaac when we have been out and about. I love both names, but am afraid Isaiah is too similar to Isaiah, yet teh similarity is what I like about it. So stressed!

my oldest sons name is kingston ,aiden, i love the name its awesome .

First heard it as a name for a soap opera character....then all the'sudden i've heard it everywhere. I thought maybe it was Celtic after hearing the'song Aidia.....n't really sure what the origin is....I am n't even sure I like the name.

in our holiday there was a waiter..his name was aidjan i think or aidan..but they spell it aidjan

My husband and I are thinking of naming our son Aidan and like the classical Gaelic spelling. Aiden appears to be more American and more linked with the female spelling... though I have heard of several boys with spelling Aiden. It is likely a popular name peaking in 2015...

The name "Camden" conjures up the image of Camden, NJ- the most violent and dangerous city in'the US. Why have such an ugly city as part of your name❤️

we watched front yard personalities. pulled years later. plants and we with whatever'stretching a pair I didn't

One of my soon'to be 11 year old twins is named Aidan (his brother is LI'm). We still love the name, although there seem to be a lot more around these days, thanks to Aidan on Sex and the City.

i am naming my son Aidan and have had the'same response with the'spelling. Everyone thinks It'should be Aiden.

When my mother named me hannah, everyone thought she was weird because the name wasn't as popular in the 80's. I don't know many Hannah's that are 20 or older....but I know a ton that are 5 and under! I love my name, the meaning is strong, and being a christian. I really appreciate the heritage that my name has in the Bible.

I named my daughter "Ayden" people often'think she is a boy. I love the name and new a GIRL with the'same name almost 10 years before i had my daughter in 2015.

I was born in 2006. No one had this name. I like it, but there are millions of little Aidan's running around now. And no one can spell it correctly. i've gotten Adrian, Alden, Jayden, Hayden etc. Also when its written out for people they butcher the pronunciation. It's two real words for Gods sake: Aid. an.

My son's name is Aidan. It frequently gets misspelled (Aiden or Aden) and elderly people have a hard time understanding what I am saying when I say his name. I love the name, despite its popularity.

It will be the name of my son. I think It's a classic name.

I'm planning on naming my future son Aidan. I love that name.

we named our son Aidan when he was born in 2016. True there are more Aidans out there than before be we love the'sound of the name.

I used to like the name Aidan until trendy people started using it obsessively. Most people don't even know It's origins or the proper'spelling. Aidan can be spelled Aidan, Aiden or Aedan, all are correct, n't Aden or Aydin. Just like my name a few years ago, Sean, Aidan is being ruined just like Sean was by names like Shaun and Shawn.

My sons name is Aidan! I named him in 2020. His big sister picked it out. His full name is Aidan Carlisle.

It's just a stupid name i don't like it and it doesn't roll off my toung easily TANYA sorry but i dont like it

I have a 9-year-old named Aidan (born in July 2012). At the time, we had to point out to people who hadn't heard of it and thought maybe we made it up (which there were many) of the actor Aidan Quinn and the character on Sex & the City named Aidan (which is why I really think it took off earlier in'the decade). he's the only Aidan in his 4th-grade class but there are MANY in'the classes behind him. At the time we thought it was beautiful and unique and despite its popularity, I still think so. I also love that it means "fire." I can't imagine my Aidan being named an'thing else. And my husband and I like to consider ourselves trendsetters!

I like my name alot because I only know one person with the'same name and he was named after me. They moved to an'ther province.

My name is Aidan. It is a fairly well known name in Ireland, where I grew up. I came to the U.S. in 2001. As you can see from the graph above, I have been very busy ever'since :-).

this name looks like it would be pronounced Ma-kal-a. very very bad spelling.

My son is named Aeden, because Aed is Gaelic for firey one and of course he has red hair. It is a very strong name and we loved it for years before he was born in 2014. We thought we were being original. At least the'spelling was.

I named my son Aidan in 1997 when it was rarely heard. I know kids often wish they had a different name, but he has always felt comfortable with his. I think it works great for a little boy and a man. Yes, he often ends up repeating and/or spelling it. An exchange student from Ireland stated it was like Kelly or Tracy and used for male and female. And while it hadn't been'that common over there It'seems to be becoming more popular.

My son's name is spelled AYDEN. Although the name is extremely popular, this spelling Isn't as widely used.

As an Aidan from Ireland, i've always liked the fact that I had two first names, the Gaelic Aýdýn (pronounced "ay-o-dawn") and the English-equivalent which is Aidan.

My 8yr old son is named Aidan. We prefer the "a" spelling, although many people assume an "e."

My son, Aidan, was born on a Monday (scheduled c-section delivery). When we left the hospital on Friday, 5 other Aidans were in'the nursery!! Everyone assumes that I named my son after the character of Aidan in'the HBO hit "Sex and the City", but I fell in love with the name in 1997 ... when I first spied Aidan Quinn in "Desperately Seeking Susan".

My name is Aidan I was born in 1998, it wasn't a common name in general (n't even in Ireland) but strangely enough in a school of 500 pupils the three Aidan were all in'the'same year. Aodh❤️in is the gaelic Irish pronounced A-dawn....

I just named my son Aidan in 2018 but I'm dissapointed in how many people thing his name is spelt Aiden.. with an E

This name is terrible. i've been picked on for years with this name. Don't name your girl this name.

Always loved the name Aidan, before we even got married! Named our firstborn Aidan in 2014 and was shocked and how popular it became everywhere! We still get a TON of compliments on it and we still stand true to our feeling, It's a good, solid, strong name for our little boy!

My sister just named her first born "Aidan" & I love the name!

my names aidan, i was born in 2002. never known any other aidans apart from odd one at school. i still get annoyed when its spelt wrong!

My 4.5 yo son's name is Aidan. I love the name. It's perfect for him. It's beautiful. And It's totally original. Yes, I know. It's wildly popular nowadays. We had no idea when we chose his name. None at all. We just thought It'sounded great. I'd met two adults named Aidan in 2014. I'd heard the name before but never met anyone with the name, so it was suddenly on my radar, and it just stuck with me. NEVER had I heard of a kid named Aidan, but then, I didn't really know any kids before Aidan (our older child) was born. So we basically came up with it on our own, as I think many people did. I care n't a whit that It's popular. American's are way too obsessed with unusual, outlandish names. Lotta kids these days are saddled with SILLY names just because their parents are so desparate for them to be unique. (n't going to name any examples). It's undignified. As far as I'm concerned, Aidan is the "John" of this generation. Good, solid name, and n't self-consciously weird, unusual, or silly. And It's the perfect name for our son.

my son is an aidan, and It's a beautiful perfect name, but sadly has caught fire, and there are too many kids with the name. oh well, i wouldn't change my son's name for the world. he is who he is, and he's an aidan. maybe other parents are on'the trendy train, but when you've got an aidan, you can't help but name him properly.

My 2 y/o son is named Aidan. I thought it was such a strong name when I first read it on one of those baby name'sIt's. I never heard of it before that. It is very suiting for our son. He has a firey spirit. Who cares if it is popular; it is a wonderful name, though I do n't care for the weird ways people spell it.

I was originally going to name my son Jaden (which I have been'told a lot of celebrity parents have named their sons). I didn't like at all but I did like the'sound of Aidan (similar to Jaden minus the J) so I looked up the meaning for Aidan and fell in love with it. My son was born in August, making him a Leo which is a "fire" sign.

I picked the name Aidan for my son born in 2016 due to the meaning "fire or fiery". At the time my husband was a volunteer firefighter. Plus we are of Irish/Scottish descent. It's become way to popular/trendy now. People are finding too many weird ways to spell it (Ayden, Aydon, Aidon). However I don't regret my choice one bit. It's still a good strong name.

n't really sure my wife and i are getting ready to have are first child. It or should i say he is going to be a babie boy. we are going to name him aidan so i would like your feedback thank we are due 3-07-08

When we named our son Cameron we thought it was going to be original...Boy were we wrong!! There are 3 boys named Cameron in his grade alone!

I wanted to name my son Aidan, I'm glad I didn't. Way too over'sed these days.

My granddaughter's name is Aidan. I love the name.

i am just about to have a baby girl and i love this name. I am so glad that i am not the only one to think it would make a beautiful girls name!

My son will be named Aydin as it is the Persian spelling of this name and honours our heritage. Isn't a rose by any other name'still as sweet❤️ So will be our little Ayden/Aidan/Aydin...

my name is aidan im 14 and alot of people spell it wrong and it drives me crazy but i love my name'so much

We named our middle son Quynn...spelled it with an "Y" instead of and "I" just to make it a little more different.

I names my second son'this in 1995, No one had this name then.

My name is Aidan and I get so many people saying they like it. People often spell it Aiden, and some even call me Hayden when'they first hear me say it. Other than'that, I think It's a great name. :)

It's a pretty name But explain why three of thoses emo kids I know are called Aiden. Because It's main'tream, just like them

In response to above.....I do not think Isaac and Isaiah are too close. I also like the similarity of the two. My husband's name is Trae, he has an older brother named Travis and an older sister named Tracy. They are all a few years apart from each other, so I would say go for Isaiah but that is just my opinion.

Love the name - HATE the fact that it has become the Jennifer of its day. I honestly was at at a water park last week and there were so many dads yelling "aiden" and i swear half the boys under 5 turned around to see who was calling them. Completely over'sed.

Loved this name and planned to use it until I realized how common it is. I think we'll call him Niall in'tead.

I had my son Aidan in July if 2017. At the time we were searching for a strong Irish name for our child and when we came across the name it was perfect! As many othe's, it also bothe's me when people assume that his name is spelled Aiden or some other way. Aidan is a beautiful and strong name

yes, its my name and i HATE it.. They say it LAAAREN, Lawreen, Lorn. Never mind when i spell L as in Left, a-u-r, Y as in Yellow, N. I usually have to do it a few times..

My little nephew Aidan was born two days ago and the name is just so beautiful, I love it and his grandad Kevin Patrick was so smitten to finally have a little boy in the family and one with an irish name to boot! just made his decade I think.

My son's name is Aidan..which at the time was very unusual...but it has now hit the U.S. and I'm glad..I don't ever hear "i've never heard that before" anymore. Besides, a visiting priest from Ireland who shared the'same name'said it is making a comeback in Ireland-cool!

I'm a 12 year old named Aidan and I love my name. The only problem is, EVERYONE gets the'spelling wrong. And I'mean everyone except your parents. Teache's, friends etc. Even when your name is RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THEIR FACES lol. So that can be annoying but I still love the name even'though It's common

I love the name, but I'm n't sure I want to name my baby that, because I fear there will be 3 other Aidan's in his kindergarten class. (I like the'spelling "Aiden" more)

As an Aidan for the last 30 years, I love my name. Congrats to all the parents that have wisely chosen such an awesome name for their kids. Bravo!

I love this name. It really gives a strong sense of success and hope.

My nephews name is Aidan[age 4], which we shorten to adiey. Even though the name 'Aidan' has become very popluar my Aidan is the only aidan in the nursery school. His Full name is Aidan Robert [Adiey bobby] !

my brothe's name is aidan and his mom chose it because she thought it would be unpopular but by the time he turned 6 he had already met 10, and 3 live on his street! p.s. he's six

It is a name without western roots or an English equivilant. It has been spelled phon'tically as Aiden and Aidan or any other combin'tion you like. Some choose the "Aidan" spelling for its Christian roots in Saint Aidan. Some spell it any other way to avoid that conn'tation.

My grandson is Aiden.It fits him,he is 18 months old and a ball of fire always on'the go.

I am 11, and my name is Aidan. All the time, the other kids or teache's pronounce it adian, aiden, or whatever else. Its kind of annoying, but i still like the name. I am the only person i know named aidan and spelled right.

I love this name, me and my husband have decided to name our first boy Aidan...but it'll be spelled Ayden...i love it!

My favourite boy's name. A Gaelic name that is easy for non-Gaelic speakers to pronounce and spell, Aidan is becoming increasingly popular, but still strikes me as a nice altern'tive to the more common "Patrick" or "Sean".

I absolutely love this name. didn't realise it was getting so popular though.

I am 11 years old and I'm an aidan'to i love the name but It's so annoying because everyone spells it wrong even my family It's really annoying. Even spellcheck changes it to Aiden when my name is Aidan.

Aiden in Irish means little fire...Ive found nearly every Aiden I know to be a little firey!!

my sister's name is aidan she was born in 2003, at the time we knew no one with the name and have still heard very few girls with the name. we give her a hard time now because It's like the most popular boys name ever, and is now pretty unoriginal

my name is Aidan and everyone allways spells it wrong. but its great name!

I took the name Adian and made it Adyan. For my first born son and I just love the name. My second son is named Adiran.

My name is aidan. However i find it is often spelt aiden.

I named my son Aidan, gosh I love the name but I had no idea how popular it was, he will be 3 soon and I know about 3 other boys named Aidan around his age.

When I named my son this 4 years ago...it was NEVER heard of. He was born in May. That year Aidan was the #1 boys name...go figure. I tried to be unique. Haha! It's a perfect name for my son. He just fits it. He's so friendly but has a short temper.

As a teacher It's difficult to find a name that is "special." I fell in love with the name AidEn in'the early '90's. My husband and I had a difficult time conceiving, so when I found out I was pregnant I knew the baby had to have this name. One meaning we saw was "warmth of the house" and our boy is that! As for the'spelling, I asked my 7th graders at the time how'd they spell it. The E won! While we know It's popular, he's the only Aiden in his grade of 150 students; It'seems after 2012 that it really became well-known.

I love Aidan my son who is 3 & 1/2 yrs old, we loved the name, it perfectly fits hims as he is hyoperactive as the name'suggests fury, he is always a fire in'the house with n't resting a single moment, also he is good at his kinder garden school. I love him , he is my only adorable angel

My 12 year old brothe's name is Aidan i love the name and he is so mean sometimes but we are irish twins so we get along easily and i hope he'sees this

It's a great name, my husband and I agreed to it as soon as we found out it was boy! It's great that we chose the name because there's no Aiden's on either side of our family, so talking about a common name, NOT in our families! WOOHOOO!!!!!

We chose the name Easton Kade for one of our twins, born in August, 2021, after'searching for months for a second name. His twin brother is Colton and his older brother is Rylan.

We named our son Aidan because we liked the name. We were looking over the list of names which are used in USA and ALBANIA, so Aidan was one of them. BTW it is an old Illyrian/Albanian name as well, n't only Irish ;) At the hospital we were told that Aidan was for girls and Aiden was for boy, the lady was just ignorant --- AIDAN is a BOY's name.

I really like this name. It's the exact reverse of my name, Nadia. =)

I have never known an Aiden, I will certanily put it in my list to consider.

We named our son Aiden a few years ago. Now It'seems like everyone is named Aiden. I still like the name though. We are now expecting a girl and we want to make sure we don't name her an'thing too popular.

We named our son Aidan in 2010 the only comment I got about it was, did we named him that from the main characters boyfriend on Sex in'the City. At the time I had never'seen'the'show. We picked the name out of a baby book. After about 2012 I saw a lot of babies named Aidan.

My son's name is Aidan. The most common problem is that it is misspelled Aiden. When he began Kindergarten in 2016, there was an Aidan in 1st grade and an'ther Aidan in his Kindergarten class. Unfortun'tely the other Aidan moved to an'ther city last summer, so my son is the only Aidan at his school right now (the'school only goes K - 2; then'the next campus is 3-5).

His family has a thing of having the Father's name as the first son's name. I do not want a James the third, so I decided to make that the middle name. I really like the way Aidan James sounds.

My friends husband was called Aidan and It was the first time I'd heard it. I loved the name and years later we had a little boy and named him Aidan. I Still love the name and my boy who is 12 now. Only thing that gets us annoyed is people spelling it wrong. Sometimes my boy wishes we'd given him a different name but he does like it.

My one year old son's name is Aidan. Please often spell it Aiden, which I don't like nearly as much. I have loved the name Aidan for years and my husband likes it as well so as soon as I became pregnant, we knew our child would be named Aidan if we had a boy. We only wish the name were less common. Aidan is a very old name but we hadn't realized how many "sound-alike" names were now popular. There were n't many children in our social circles but since having Aidan, we are con'tantly meeting Cadens and Jayden and Haydens, etc.

We chose this name for our wonderful son (almost 3 years old now). Great Irish boy name. It is unique and we have yet to meet another'sullivan, although a TV personality just named his son Sullivan, so we look for more to show up eventually. TWO THUMBS UP.

My name is Aidan and I was born in 2001 back when'the name was virtually non-existent. i've never had anyone in my class named Aidan and around 2016-2017 I suddenly started hearing my name crop up everywhere. It honestly pissed me off. I wish people would stop jumping on'the band wagon. However, if you want to name your kid Aidan... Please at least spell it right. It's Aidan. n't Aiden, n't Ayden or any other variation. Go with the traditional Gaelic or the common usage in Ireland (Aidan). I'm tired of parents trying to put a unique spelling on a name which they were just too ignorant to look up. It wasn't until the 4th grade that a teacher'spelled my name right (last and first) and people continue to spell my name wrong.

I named my son Aidan in 1997. Since then i've heard or seen it a number of times, but generally with much younger boys. Yes, he has the'same problems with spelling and pronunciation. I think it will become more popular- seems people should be ready for something "new".

We named our 9 mth old son Jasper - everytime someone meets him they comment on what a beautiful name it is. We love it!

I love this name! Defin'tely on'the top of our list for a boy!

My husband and I named our little boy Aidan in 2017. I do n't know any other Aidan's and most people tell me that they have never heard the name but they love it! Some people do want to spell it Aiden, though!

My brother's name is Aidan. I love the name but my only problem with it is that it has blasted into popularity. Because of that fact and because he goes to school with so many "Aiden"s, people frequently misspell it as such. The'schooling system sometimes mail us letters with his name'spelled wrong! But I still love his name and describes him well.

My son who was born in 2015 is Aidan. I love the name but it is too popular now!

Funny, I am due 3/29/08 and Aidan/Aiden is at the top of my list as well. I can't decide on'the'spelling though. Thoughts❤️

I love this name, I am the mother of a AIDAN. My son was born after my girl NADIA (meanning - hope) who is 2 years older than her brother. I did n't plan it ahead, and was so happy to find it.

I named my son Aidan. I agree with the biggest problem is people spelling it Aiden. We named him Aidan because Aidan means fire and he was born a leo which is a fire sign. Its a very popular name right now, so I think he might n't like it later on just because so many people going to school with him will have the'same name.

My son was born in 2012, and we spell it traditionally with the "an", the "en" makes me cringe. At the time, no one we knew had ever heard of the name-it was fun'to feel a little original, but in'the grades below him it is quite popular. I love the name, I just wish people would spell it right.

LOVE THIS NAME! It is so beautiful and matches anyones personalIt's!

I'm a 45 Y/O male named Aidan, pronounced the'same as the city Aden. My name has been mispronounced as far back as I can remember, more often'than n't it was pronounced Adian or Adrian but this has never bothered me. Until recently, wherever I ever went and heard "Aidan" called out, it was always me that they were calling to, but now I find there are many more Aidans out there than just me. I'm proud to be an Aidan.

I found it nice because My husband and I are Turkish-Persian-American.we are looking for a name which is nice and meaningful in 3 languages!If it is spelled Aidan it means brightness and well_being.

Loved this name when I gave it to my son in 2012, but now I am disappointed with its popularity as know he will n't have a unique name like I had intended.

My son is named Aidan. People misspell it all the time as Aiden or Aden.
