To be honest, I hate it. It is second only to Jayden (and its various spellings) as the worst -aden name IMO.

It's okay. By itself, not wholly objectionable; but in the face of the -aden craze, where even if I didn't post on BtN I'd still be flummoxed at the fact that every little boy I meet is either named Aidan (or a variant) or something ending in -aden / -ayden / -aiden et al, it's something I must stay far, far away from.

Meh. Very trendy and preppy.

If it weren't for how popular and trendy it was, which will now make it dated, its not a bad name. I also don't like the cad in it.

I like it. I like this spelling best too.

Nah, I don't like it. -aden names have become devoid of almost any substance, to me. Maybe if they get put to rest for a few decades I could warm to Caden (doubtful, but not impossible), but not now.

I've been flirting with Cade lately, though. A Caden nn Cade might get a pass from me, but only if I could ignore that extra n for the bulk of his existence.

I like it. There's something comforting and mouth-satisfying about it.

I like it, but prefer Kaden by far.

I know it's not "new" and "tryndee", but I don't like any of the -den or -en names.

I like Cade quite a lot. Not so much Caden.

The first time I heard it, maybe 6 years ago, I thought it was cool and fresh. But then it seemed that every new baby boy I met had the name Caden/Kaiden/Kayden/Caedin/etc.

It's just feels tired to me now.

However, at the basest of the name, it is simple, easy to say and a strong rounded out sound. It works, but I would let it rest.

I actually love the sound of the -aden names, it's just the fact that there are so many of them and so many spelling variations that turns me off them.

---

I think I like Kaden a little better (I like Kaleb better than Caleb too).

---

I use Kaedyn a lot for female sims too.

I like it. I don't care if it's tryndee or too popular. It's a nice name, even spelled with a K. So there. Haha.

My son's partner is related to a little boy named Kaden.Kind of an over-used name,but he's a dear little boy, and actually, I don't know any others, living where I do.

I like it's sound and I don't think it's a terrible name but it'll always be lumped in with the -ayden bunch and that's a no-go for me.

I like it pretty well. It's not a favorite. It sounds good, though. Trendy of course, but seems more substantial than some trendy names. It's likeable, sounds masculine enough, doesn't try hard.

I used to like Cade. A lot. Just Cade. And then the -aden epidemic of horrific proportions occurred. And now I just can't like any of them and anything close. It's just annoying in its sameness-yet-all-thinking-it's-not-the-same.
