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.

replay

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.
