- Comments and insights on the name Jayden
i named my wee boy Jayden, but we pronounce it Jad-in its the same name isnt it jus different pronouciation.
I don't see everyone's problem with this name. It's cute and has a nice ring to it. One of my favorite gender-neutral names.
My name is Jayden- although, I am a girl.
I first heard the name 12 Feb 1994 (14 months before I met my husband) and being the Trekkie that I am I knew as soon as I heard the young girl give Data the name, Jayden, I would name my son that. I grabbed my journal and wrote it down with a gazillion middle names but settled on Erik, 1. it is my baby brother's middle name 2. It is a good strong Viking name and I lived in Norway for a year. It turned out that my husband and I tried for 6 years to have a baby so the meaning "God has heard" means a lot as we were really praying for him to come to us. He had multiple complications after an emergency c-section birth and spent 6 days in the NICU before he could come home. I had never heard the name before but when he started early intervention (He has autism) and then later kindergarten I heard the name a few more times for both genders and other races. I knew I had picked well. I figured if he hated it he could have people call him Jay, but he loves his name and will not let anyone call him Jay. He will be 17 in 2018. He was born 2 weeks before 9/11 on his father's birthday, by 2 minutes to midnight!!
- Personal experiences with the name Jayden
Your story above is so cool! We also named our son Jayden, and love the meaning but we chose it largely because of the meaning. When I was early in my pregnancy with him, I was in a vehicle with my sister and other son, nieces and nephews, we were rear ended by a large electrical utility truck. This accident caused me to miscarry, the doctors showed me the ultrasound of my dead baby inside me, and gave me a day or so to “pass my child naturally” but if I didn’t they wanted to D&C. I refused to accept this, I put myself in bed rest, with a 3yo at home, and I prayed, SO hard, for that week, I went back to my regular dr for my follow up and they checked my blood levels (which they checked at the dr right after the accident also, and they were dropping) and they had increased significantly. They didn’t know how to explain it, but my baby was alive and growing! Well I knew! God had heard our prayers and He had healed Him, so we named him accordingly. Jayden (God has heard) Jace (healer) and he and his name will be my living walking proof that God is real, and God can and will answer prayers, but we can’t loose faith, even when it looks hopeless and like there’s no point, cause even when we’re dead, it’s not over. So I completely LOVE this name!!!
