I named my baby Cadence because she was born on the fourth of july and I had never heard of it prior. NOW everyone is naming their child Cadence... ALSO, Watch out if youre easily annoyed with people mispronouncing your childs name because 8 times out of ten she will be called candace... But overall love the name is suits my baby girl perfectly because she has some serious rhythm... (Which is what is means :)

Oh my gosh. This makes me so mad because i thought i'd made up this name! I really did. i have a middle name for it that goes perfectly and now i just dont want it anymore....augh i thought it was amazing because i'd first heard it as a musical term, it means rhythm and tempo and I'm marrying a very talented musician...i thought it was the cutest thing to name this pretty-sounding music term our first child....i imagined it to be a boy's name though...but I'm very upset to find It's becoming a very common name for infants now when i thought i'd had the most amazing name combination ever=\

The worst thing that can happen'to a farther and mom is losing your child in October 31 2014 on Halloween night and man on drugs ran up on the'sidewalk and hitting my daughter and my wife and two other people. My daughter passed away. Every time I here the name cadence it makes me smile. I love her'so much. For all you people have the name cadence It's a special.

I love my name. the funny thing is that my family has nothing to with music. my dad just found the name and he really liked it. the only thing that annoys me is that everyone pronounces my name as Candace.

My name is Caydince and most people spell it as Candace, Cadence, Kadence, Kaydence, Kaydince, etc. I was name after my ability to kick to a beat of any song of my moms while in the womb. The highest number of people name caydince was in 2019, the year I was born. Seems as I'm not the only one.

I love my name and always have. My mother was a music teacher and chose it for obvious reasons. I was born in March of 1985...that makes me almost 36! I would love to know if there's anyone else out there who shares my name and who is as old, or older than I! I have met very few Cadence's but have heard of many young children with the name through other people. I loved my nickname growing up(Cady) and didn't mind that it was mispronounced once in a while. If it is misspelled as "Katie", I learned to just let it go. It was also easier as a kid because I didn't have to explain "cadence" all the time. I said "Cady" and they assumed "Katie" and that was that. I love my name to this day I am so happy to share it with future generations.

My daughter is 10 and I picked the name Cadence when I was 12 years old. I was reading a history book and it talked about the "rhythmic cadence" of soldiers marching. I instantly loved it and when my daughter was born she became Cadence Irene ( after my grandmother). People typically call her Candace and I will correct them. People ask me why I wanted such an uncommon name (which isnt so uncommon anymore) and I tell them it was just a name I loved.

I named my daughter Cadence Michelle. I chose this spelling because Cadence is a real word. I am not a big fan of creative spellings. The name has become popular lately but not common. I heard it first on American Wedding or Shallow Hal. It's used in both movies. We call her both Cadence and Cadie. I wasn't sure at first about Cadie,Cadey,or Cady. I ussually have to repeat the name a few times when I tell peolple her name and sometimes they still think I said Cayden. Also the name is often pronounced Candace. I guess some people just see it that way at first glance. I still love the name Cadence and Cadie for a nick name and we get alot of positive comments on her name when we introduce her.

I named my daughter Cadence, we spell it Cadynce Rose so it would be easier to shorten'to "Cady" if we wanted. I love the name and suits our little one to a "T" I think it is a strong yet beautiful and feminine name. I have had mixed reactions to it, but when I tell people the meaning: "melodious" or rythmic people usually love it. I agree that the popularity of "Caden" for a boy has raised the popularity but I still feel it is unique but not too unheard of. I am glad we chose it.

My son's name is Cadence. My husband is a drummer and we thought it was a great idea. It'seemed like a masculine name to me until I began hearing it was often used for girls. We have since heard of both boys and girls named this, although at the time, we thought we "i'vented" it as a name.
