heather4185 - 83 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My initial thought of Hayden is that its a boys name, i loved this name when i was pregnant but we had a girl, Imogen-Grace, but would love to call a boy that, i like it better than Aiden x

MelissaJoanne - 85 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It has been used for girls, but it is still a masculine name sometimes used for girls, not a feminine name. Go with Hayden as it is less popular than Aiden (#1 name of last year, I believe)

sarahann - 86 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I don't thing Hayden is too girly, I've only heard of one girl with that name, and she's famous. I do prefer your first choice though, Aiden. You will decide what's right for you, and once your baby has their name, it won't be a problem anymore.

monica9 - 86 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I picture a female personally. i would stick with aiden

LilMrsK - 86 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Aiden is very popular right now (just my first thought) and I do think Hayden seems a slight bit girly, but still a nice name.....

Mommyof2boys - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My friends husband's name is Hayden, I love the name its still very unique and not a lot of people have it. I know more boys with the name than girls. I would spell it either Hayden or Haydyn for boy. Good luck!

Rebekahs-mama - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Personally I prefer Aiden, but if you have your heart set on the other than I would definitely think Hayden as the spelling for a boy.

athome - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I really like Hayden as a boys name and if it wasn't my brother in laws name I would have named my son that.

ashleyandcaleb - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) usually i would think of people saying it was too boyish for a girl.I think its pretty either way

skittles0607 - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I like your first choice but I think it something to do with me naming my 2nd son Aidan.. I think Hayden would be better than Haiden though..

mommy-of-3 - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I don't think Hayden is a girl's name, I think it is masculine sounding and much better suits a boy. I would spell it with the y though because the "ai" way makes it more feminine.

Laura Ward - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I LOVE any and all Aidan names...Aidan, Jayden, Hayden, Kayden, etc...But..I do think that spelling is important and Haiden looks more girly than Hayden.

niki - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Probably better to stick with your first choice... x

Melanie07 - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I think boy when I hear Haiden or Hayden. I have never heard it used for a girl.

shootinstarzzz - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) what do you like the most? say the name out loud, try calling the child, like say out loud, "Hayden it's time for your bath!" or Aiden, It's time for ur bath!" and see how it sounds, you can also check the baby's initials like my son's are TMEC which does not spell anything but sometimes by chance if ur not careful you can spell something like if ur name was amy sarah smith then it would spell well you know what it would spell! LOL..............I like Hayden for a girl's or boy's name and I like the HAYDEN version. what matter's the most in a name is that you like it, who cares what anyone else thinks or says cuz it's ur baby and they can name thier baby whatever they like when they have one. MY son's name is Tristan and I LOVE his name, everyone said it was a sissy name when I annouced I was naming him that and I was pregnant with him and blah blah blah but I liked it and it's not a sissy name, it's a cool kids name cuz I have a cool baby. LOL

RandiLee - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I've only heard of boys names Hayden And it's SUCH a cute name !

kater - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i have never met a girl named Hayden, never even heard of it being a girls name until i came to this site. if you love the name, go for it!

mommytobe29 - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i don't really like the name aiden.. but i definitely LOVE Hayden. I think "Haiden" looks more masculine to me.. but that's just my opinion

Laura Ward - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I LOVE any and all Aidan names...Aidan, Jayden, Hayden, Kayden, etc...But..I do think that spelling is important and Haiden looks more girly than Hayden.

jessicadarling - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I have never met a girl named Hayden. MMM Hayden Christensen. That is one sexy man boat! Don't do Aiden, every baby boy and his dog is named Aiden these days

kimmarie - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I think it sounds masculine. It reminds of that sitcom "Coach" - the main character's name was Hayden.

UKMama - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I don't know about in the US but here in the UK Hayden would definitely be first (and only?) a boy's name. Either spelling is fine but Haiden looks a more masculine spelling to me.

Monny3 - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Absolutely not it is a beautiful name for either. I would choose what I liked best.

lmo - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i knew a guy in middle school names hayden and i thought it was cute i dont think it is too girly.

KittenAsACat - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I went to school with a guy named Hayden. I've always primarily thought of Hayden as a male name, possibly because the first person I knew with that name was the guy I grew up going to school with. Either way, it works great for either gender.

Baby3OnWay - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I know a little boy names Haiden... his twins name is Jaiden haha I like it!!

lady26 - 87 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) The name Hayden can be use for both. It's German meaning Heathen and English meaning Valley with hay but I didnot find Haiden. However, Aiden is a boy name meaning Little fire. Variants like Ayden, Aydan, and Aden, Aiden was the most popular name for boys in the U.S. in 2006.

Its-Chelle - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) any spelling is nice..i too think hayden is girly and aiden is for a boy..i like to spell names in a way that its not too common..but thats me

joyfulnoise - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I think it can go either way, but I do tend to think of Hayden as more of a girl name and Aiden as a boys name.
