"Kaiden is my grandson's name and it's cool name. He's a gorgeous little 2 year old. So what if its a made up name, all names are made up names. And their meanings are also sometimes made up by other cultures and languages. Yay Kaiden!" Oct. 11, 2011:

"Named my son Kaiden pronounced ky-den but of course everyone pronounces it Kay-den which annoys the hell out of me but oh well guess we will be correcting people for life lol" Aug. 20, 2011:

"I named my boy this last year and I hadn't heard of it but now it is becoming very popular even here in the UK. There are 3 other Kaidens in his toddler group and they're all spelt differently. So far, I have only had very good feedback with this name. Some people online think it's a made up a name and I say 'SO WHAT!" so many names sound made up now anyway. I love the name. They always pronounce it as Kay-den which is right but I would like to change it to Kye - den but don't think hubby would agree. Overall it's a great name! You can't go wrong as it can be shortened to Kaid or Kye or KK, Denny, KD! It's up to you." Jul. 27, 2011:

"I named my son Kaiden Drew. He's 10. I love the name. I actually got it from the character Raiden from Mortal Combat. I loved K's so I changed the R to a K. We pronounce it k-ay-den. He gets a lot of spellings with a C. Everyone always pronounces it correctly." May. 19, 2011:

"Our son is called "Kyden" which we made up. We liked the name "Kye" but wanted to give him something more (and use Kye as a nickname) ... so came across Kaiden and tweeked the spelling (we didn't want to his name to be shortened to sound like "Kay". I've since realised/heard that the spelling "Kai" can actually be pronounced to sound like "Kye" too)." Nov. 25, 2010:

"my son;s name is Kaiden Richard. i was listing off names while i was pregnant and my boyfriend liked Caden i hated the spelling so i looked up alternatives and was either going with Caedon or Kaiden, i didn't like how i wrote Caedon on paper it looked sloppy but i loved how Kaiden looked!" Jul. 20, 2010:

"I named my boy Kaiden and hadnt heard of it much at the time, (nov 2004). I had heard of Kayden but I changed the spelling myself and now I see its quite a popular name after all... although not so much in England. And we get compliments everywhere we go for his unusual name." Jun. 11, 2010:

"My son is Kaiden (my husband chose the spelling)! The name fits him well. "Fighter" is what it has been given as a meaning, however, in Japan a kaiden (spelled KAIDEN) is what they call a master swordsman (or any martial artist) with 30 + years of experience with the blade! That is not why we chose the name of course, but its a bit of neat trivia about the name and proof that it was NOT MADE UP, but stolen from the Japanese!!! lol My son was born on 2/11/04!" Jun. 7, 2010:

"My husband liked the name Kai (pronounced Ky), so I looked it up and found that it is a Hawaiian name that means "ocean". I thought that was so cool because I love Hawaii and the ocean but I thought it sounded more like a nickname than a full name. So, I started tacking endings onto it and came up with Kaiden. We prounouce it Kyden. Sometimes we call him Kai too! I love his name and think it's so special but EVERYONE pronouces it Kayden!" Feb. 2, 2010:

"my sons name is KAIDEN though i have no idea on the meaning of it he is now 20mths old" Jan. 7, 2010:

"i have never heard the name before, i was layed in bed couldnt sleep as u do lol and i thought i will try choose a name for our son and kaiden just popped into my head and as far as i know thats what i am gonna call him, just cant think of a middle name to go with it tho, my husband does not like that name but he named our last 2 babies so this is my tuen as its out 5th and last baby. everyone i tell the name to love it x" Dec. 27, 2009:

"My sons name is Kaiden Thomas. He is strong and really determined and sure of himself. He loves to meet people and does not let anything hold him back. He was born with a low chance of survival, and was in the ICU for 10 days. You would never know it now though. His growth charts show he is above the 100 percentile and I have a feeling he is just going to keep going at an amazing rate. Everybody loves his name." Dec. 16, 2009:

I love the way the two names flow together. Kaiden Patrick. Such a handsome and strong name. When he's older people will call him Kade i'm sure and that's just awesome." Dec. 3, 2009:

"It is great Name, I named my 2 months child as Kaiden, he is borned on 16th Sep. 2009" Nov. 10, 2009:

"My son's name is Kaiden. He's 17 months old. When we picked it..."if we ever have a boy", the name was relatively unique. By the time he was born (two years later)it was far more common. I think spelling his name will be easy by the time he's school age, because it's becoming very common. It's a great name." Nov. 2, 2009:

"I'm having a son, and namin him Kaidan/Kaiden/Kayden - still can't choose which way to spell it tho." Aug. 20, 2009:

"i like the names jayden and aiden. my middle name is Kay, so thats how we got kaiden. our original plan was to give the baby my husbands middle name or first name as the babys middle name and give the baby a first name of its own. and if we had a daughter the middle name was going to be kay, but we found out chances were super low for having another baby, so just incase we didnt have another baby, we wanted the baby to have a name to go with both of us. Kaiden Patrick (fathers middle name. i have the middle name of my mother. her sister has the same middle name as her mother and both of my brothers have our fathers first name as a middle name." Aug. 16, 2009:

"I had my son Feb. 12/08 and had never heard the name before but liked Aiden and heard it was the most popular boys name for 07 so I came up with Kaiden, and now I have heard at least 4 others called Kaiden but with diferent spelling. I love the name as does everyone that meets my son." Jul. 29, 2009:

"I named my Daughter Kaiden. I had to be different, people love it or at least they say they do? lol" May. 8, 2009:

"We were looking for boys name for our second and "Caden" kept popping in a majority of the baby name sites we visited, I really liked it but didn't want another "C" name as our first had a "C" name, someone suggested spelling it "Kaiden" pronounced simply "K-den". We didn't like it spelt with a "K" at first but it grew on us. Like may others we hadn't heard of it either and liked that fact, so we called our son, once born "Kaiden Riley", we really like it and so does everyone else. I have heard of one other little boy with the same name and spelt the same too, so not very popular in Oz or NZ yet, hopefully it will stay that way!!" Apr. 26, 2009:

"my babies due in 10 more days and ive decided to name him Kaiden i love the name!" Apr. 10, 2009:

"My son was born Jan 24 2008 and we called him Kaiden. My husband liked Aiden and I liked Kade, so we put it together and came up with Kaiden. It was the only boys name we agreed on. We hadn't heard of any other Kaiden's before. Later on we read in a baby name book that it meant friend and companion. Since then the name has been coming up everywhere spelt many different ways." Feb. 18, 2009:

"I fell in love with the name kaiden so i named my son Kaiden." Feb. 16, 2009:

"gawjuss name :) if i have a boyy thats the first name ill be considering :D x" Dec. 19, 2008:

"Okay everyone, my family's last name is Kaiden. It's pronounced KAYDEN, like "maiden with a K". People do frequently pronounce it KIDEN (rhymes with BIDEN), but AID is pronounced MAID, RAID, AFRAID, etc, so it seems fairly simple to me. I'm pleased to hear that it's being used as a first name now." Oct. 16, 2008:

"I just had a baby boy a month ago and I named him Kaiden! love the name. =]" Sep. 16, 2008:

"My husband and I have an 11 month old son named Kaiden. We love the name, it was the only one we could agree on and we get compliments everywhere we go." Sep. 16, 2008:

"My son was born in Nov 1997. We couldn't find a boys name to agree on; combined Aidan with a "K" and my husband spelled the name wrong on the birth certificate= Kaiden. We love it and have met LOTs of kids with that name since. Both boys and girls and spelled many different ways." Aug. 15, 2008:

"MY HUSBAND AND I CAME UP WITH THE NAME KAIDEN BEFORE WE WERE EVEN MARRIED. AND WHEN IT CAME TIME FOR US TO START OUR FAMILY AND WE FOUND OUT IT WAS A BOY WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT, WE KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE KAIDEN. AT THE TIME THAT WE CAME UP WITH THAT NAME WE HAD NEVER HEARD IT BEFORE, BUT WHEN WE FOUND OUT HE WAS A BOY WE HEARD IT EVERYWHERE OR THINGS CLOSE TO IT. YOU THINK YOU FIND SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE. YOU CAN'T WIN I GUESS." Jul. 28, 2008:

"ive gt a 20 mnth old called kaiden before i didnt hear it but now it seems common i fink it suits him so much wen i was lookin in d babybook it meant excitin" Jul. 27, 2008:

"My husband and I just found we are havng a son. We have loved the name kaiden for weeks (after finding similar names in a baby book) and are so pleased we get to use it! I just looked at this site by chance, the meaning "fighter" is perfect and very speacial to us as he is one surviving twin." Jun. 6, 2008:

"I had my son, Kaiden, in January of 2004. At the time, I have never heard it. I liked the name Aiden and Caleb, so I sort of combined then and changed the spelling to be unique. Now, I hear the name everywhere. I've heard it means "fighter" and also "round and happy"." Jun. 6, 2008:

"I've got a son named Kaiden as it was the ONLY name my husband and I could agree on. Since he was born I've heard of lots of other Kaiden's, but they've been spelled differently. My Kaiden was the only baby with the name that was spelled K-A-I-D-E-N in our hospital for the whole year 2007. The meaning of the name fits "fighter" him well too as he was born with bilateral clubfoot and he's spent more than 3/4 of his life in plaster casts up to his thighs and braces." May. 29, 2008:

"My 9 month old boy is named Kaiden. Everyone we meet just loves the name. We live in Canada I have not met anyone as of yet with the same name" May. 21, 2008:

"We named our son Kaiden also. (06-06-06 6:28 am) It seems I'm like eaveryone else I thought I was being original =) I added the K becuase I liked the name Adian but like 4 couples in my lamoze class were using the same name. I had no idea Kaiden was so popular!" May. 20, 2008:

"we are calling our baby boy kaiden when he is born. Had picked this name for our first child but had a girl. Thought i found an unusal name that i had never heard. They are no other kaidens around here but have heard it is popular in other places." Apr. 29, 2008:

"You all seem to pronounce it different! My Son's name is Caden, as we are welsh this it the welsh spelling and it means Fighter. People often say 'Cadd un' rather than 'Cade un' when reading it from being written down. I also thought i had made a new name when i choose this for my son, but apparently its VERY popular in the US! We called him Caden Brynley, but if i had a girl we would of used the same name but Kaiden Georgia." Apr. 29, 2008:

"My wife and I named our son Kaiden as we both loved the name. When our doctor saw the name he asked if we purposefully named him Kaiden as it was an anagram of our surname. Well to say we were shocked is an understatement we didn�t even make the connection. Our surname is Adkin so the only letter missing in our sons name is the "E" Very coincidental. He is 3 now and loves his name as does everyone who hears it." Apr. 28, 2008:

"Not many Caden/Kaden/Kaidens in the UK. I heard a lady calling it in the park once, but I'm not sure if she was refering to her son or her dog, lol. There are lots of interesting meanings for the name, most being warrior/fighter orientated. I have a baby boy named Kaiden, I get the feeling he'll either love it or hate it. I'll have to wait till he can talk to find out!!" Apr. 17, 2008:

"My husband and I love this name and we are using it for our little girl due in June. I had seen Caden for a boy, but we thought spelling it "Kaiden" makes it more girly," Mar. 18, 2008:

"To the person who left the comment before me... my boyfriends name is Kaiden.. and my last name is Davis.. very coinsidental lol" Mar. 18, 2008:

"I absolutely love my name Kaiden Davis, so many people come up to me and say how much they love my name, its a very cool name" Mar. 17, 2008:

"I wanted something different for my 2nd son and deen Caden in a baby name book. I thought I would do some creative spelling to make it more unique= Kaiden Joshua Eric born 04-04-04 at 4:04am the name just fit him to a T." Mar. 11, 2008:

"MY DAUGHTER IS CALLED kAIDEN APPARENTLY THE ONLY GIRL WITH THAT NAME........" Mar. 10, 2008:

"I named my son Kaiden in 1998. Was reading baby book, found the name Cade. Kind of liked it but something was missing. Thought I was being creative by coming up with Kaiden." Mar. 6, 2008:

"I am going to be naming my son Kaiden in 6 weeks. Everyone that sees his name writen or said has no problem with pronouncing it. They have never seen the name spelt the way I'm spwlling it (Kaiden) but they got used to it. The correct way of saying this name is---Kai-den. I havent heard of this name around my area." Feb. 25, 2008:

"As soon as I saw this name (spelled Cayden) I fell in love with it. My first son will be named Kaiden." Feb. 7, 2008:

"My sons name is Kaiden and he fits the name! I have only met about 5 other people with that name but i have heard that it is on the rise! I have never heard anyone pronounce it wrong. We pronounce it like Kay-Din!" Feb. 5, 2008:

"so there is this kid named kaiden he is tottaly awesome cause my name is kaiden davis and im cool like that" Jan. 30, 2008:

"my little boy is called kaiden i thought it was nice but not too different.He is nearly 2 and now i hear it all the time." Jan. 17, 2008:

"Me and my Fiance named our son Kaiden. We feel that its a name that is different - without being too different. Just annoyed that people cant spell it correctly. Cayden, Caydan, Kayden, Kaydin. LOL" Jan. 10, 2008:

"My little sister's name is Kaiden! I think it better suits a girl!" Nov. 23, 2007:

"My wife and I were arguing about the two names we liked and combined them and restructured the spelling when our son was born in December 2004 she liked Hayden and I liked Cameron, all I could think of was Hayden Fox from the old TV show "Coach" and all she could think of was Cameron Diaz "That's a girls name!" I thought we were being original, after we filled out the birth certificate the most popular baby names came on the tv Caden I believe was #3!" Nov. 16, 2007:

"My son was born in September 2005, we named him Kaiden. I hadn't heard of it before, but it seems to have become quite popular since then. Our son really suits his name." Nov. 13, 2007:

"I named my son tis in 2004. I knew it was going to be popular since it was an "aidan" sound which seems to be the current trend. but it fits him better than any other name I could have found.WE have yet to encounter anyone who spells it the same way." Nov. 11, 2007:

"My son's name is Kaiden William, I picked the name before it got so popular. I love it, fits him well. Little Fighter, it's also Celtic." Nov. 7, 2007:

"I am pregnat with a girl and will use the name Kaiden (pronounce, Kay-den)as her name. I really think the name has a great femine flair when pronouced this way." Nov. 7, 2007:

"We named our son Kaiden. We love the name. It's just different enough so that's not common, but used enough so that it's not bizarre. People sometimes have a hard time spelling it, they keep wanting to use a C instead of a K, but other than that, there has been no problems." Nov. 6, 2007:

"My sons name is Kaiden. It is pronounced Kay-den but spelt it with an 'i' so we could nick name him Kai (rhyms with eye)as we weren't really keen on nick naming him Kay. His older sister has a lovely name but is really common and we wanted something a little more unique for our son and Kaiden was an ideal choice for him." Sep. 30, 2007:

"I called my beautiful baby boy Kaiden It is a gorgeous name never new it was so popular as i had never heard of it! Great minds!! He is an amazing little thing and love him more than anithing!! N!" Sep. 23, 2007:

"Im 15 and i was pretty sure i made this name up for a story untill i googled it haha, made it out of Overlord Kai (I was 8, dont critize me!!), and din(den). I made it for a guy who carries a sword so i guess all in all "sword warrior, friend/companion, and teacher." are all suitible meanings. I've always thought of it as sounding japanese in origin...i even gave my character the last name Takuya. I pronounce it Kay-den usually, but ive decided that sometimes, it sounds better as Kah-eye-den." Sep. 13, 2007:

"my name is kaiden im thirteen. and im a girl from tennessee and now all the little boys are getting named kaiden and it makes me feel less original and kind of like a boy...when my mom named me we had no idea the name ever existed im the oldest i know. there is one other little girl in our town named kaiden but she's named after me. my cousin. is named kaiden too. but it's spelled with a "y" (kayden)" Aug. 6, 2007:

"My son's name is Kaiden..I thought I was truly though no one had this name. We originally found it as "Caden" then changed the C to K since my name begins with K. My husband added the I and we thought we came up with "Kaiden". Little did I know that there are a ton of kids with the name. Oh well!! I'm thinking about keeping the name with my future children. "Jaiden" "Aiden" "Braiden"" Jul. 3, 2007:

"my sons name is Kaiden as well. When we discovered the name 2 years ago we thought it was so original and now we see more and more kids with the name!" Jun. 25, 2007:

"My son is named kaiden and everyone always tells me it's cute my best friend is naming her son aiden i've never seen anyone tell me it's a girls name but people always think it should be spelled caden or kaden but i like the spelling kaiden better. :)" Jun. 7, 2007:

"I named my son Kaiden as i had never heard it before, now it seems its not as uncommen as i thought. Kade or Cade is just as nice but less common." May. 31, 2007:

"I named my son Kaiden and i often find when i tell people his name they think it is aiden i had never heard of this name till after my son was born now when i tell people his name i always hear oh my cousins name is that or so on..." May. 20, 2007:

"Our son was born 10th August 2001. We liked the names jayden and caleb so combined them to get caiden and then changed the spelling to kaiden. We have never seen it spelt this way before and it seems to be gaining popularity. He does seem to get called hayden when telling people his name. We would not be able to get things with his name on it unless we order it specially, but at least he wont be able to leave his trademark name without us knowing it is him.." Mar. 16, 2007:

"This is my sons name.. I didnt think it was that popular" Mar. 15, 2007:

"It's my friends name, he pronounces Kai as in 'I' not 'ay', it's kind of like a cutesy name when you relate it to him tho. Though sometimes we call him Kei as in Kay, but it's all seemingly Japanese with him. He's 16 shockingly enough, some of the teachers have called him Kiden, as in Key-den, not sure why though. anyway, we all love him it's great" Feb. 28, 2007:

"My name is Kaiden and I have truly loved it my entire life. Its a truly unique and amazing name, there aren't many who actually have the same spelling but i find it better than caden or cayden, I feel that if you place this name as your childs that they will be one of the best the world has to offer" Feb. 17, 2007:

"My 21-month-old son's name is Kaiden. People always ask "WHAT'S his name?" We love it, and I think that it is different enough to be cool, but not crazy so that he will feel embarrassed. I am proud of the name that we chose for our great, cool baby!" Jan. 23, 2007:

"My 9-year-old brother is named Kaiden. People usually think it's something between "Kay" and "Aiden" and they try to spell it this way. My parents and I call Kaiden "Kai" (pronouced "Kay"), because it's shorter and cuter. When he's older, he will be proud to have such an unusual name." Dec. 18, 2006:

"Our four year old's name is Kaiden. It took us five months of going over existing names before we finally made this one up out of sounds that we liked.

"Kaiden seems like a unisex name to me. And that's taking in one of its meanings, 'Warrior Heart'. What, girls can't be strong too? Or maybe it will just give them the wrong idea; we need to ingrain the idea that girls must be weak and delicate, after all." Oct. 23, 2006:

"September 28, 2006. My Wife and I have a 3 week old Son. We chose his name long before he was born. We liked the nick-name Kai (rhymes with sky) however, We felt as though there should be more to His name. So We came up with Kaiden, pronounced Kai-den it also rhymes with Widen or Sky-den. Does anyone know how old the name Kai is? It goes back to Greek times as well as China, Japan and Thailand. I feel as though this name has two parts a prefix and a suffix. It is definately not pronounced kay-din. It's not supposed to rhyme with maiden. If it does you didn't do your name research very well." Sep. 29, 2006:

"My grandson(due in December)will be named Kaiden. I love it!" Sep. 27, 2006:

"We named our son Kaiden (pronounced Kay-den) and chose it partially because we wanted a name that was not too common. Unfortunately, around here it's become fairly well-known, though not too bad yet, and I still really like the name. When we named him, the most common spellings were Caden or Cayden, and we thought we were "inventing" this spelling, to use "Kai" as a nickname." Jan. 24, 2006:

I thought his name was unique in spelling, and pronunciation, as it was made up from other names, but have since discovered on the web lots of names spelt Kaiden, but pronounced Kayden.

A friend of mine adult friend was called Kaide and I thought it was pretty close to Kane so we thought we found the perfect unique name, the "N" at the end just seemed to finish it off nicely. I haven't heard any other Kaiden's older than my son so I not sure if I was unique bck then or not" May. 28, 2008:

The male stated that his brother was about to have a baby any day now and couldn't decide on a name. He would be letting him know that he found a name for him.

So I came up Kaiden, and then I looked it up online...and found that it was an actual name. All this time, and now all of a sudden, Kaiden is a popular name making its way to the top 100. I have never met a child named Kaiden, but I am sure that I am bound to before long. I adore this name so much, and have for so long. But I don't want to name my child something that everyone else is named. In the next few years there will be too many Aiden, Brayden, Hayden, Jayden, & Kaden's running around. When the time comes and my husband and I decide to start a family, I fear the naming my son will not be as easy as I once thought." Mar. 22, 2006:
