- Personal experiences with the name Jaydon
When my cousin found out she was pregnant she knew right away that if she had a boy she would name him Jaydon spelt exactly that way (still pronounced like Jay-den)the name from which it is a variation of in general is very popular with both boys and girls; but it is an unusual spelling and usually assosiated with boys because of the masculine "don". Both his mother and father's names start with a "J" so this was kind of like a little theme. He has bright blue eyes and very blond curly hair- he definitly looks like a Jaydon.

There is a minor Jadon in the Old Testament, but this is no biblical revival. Cross Jacob with Aidan, and voila: the sound of the times. The name's popularity shot up starting in 1998, when celebrity parents Will Smith and Jada Pinkett chose this male twist on mom's name.
