hayden?
dh and i love the name, but everyone weve told goes eww thats a boys name - which we know that but then dh starts having doubts
i still love it - is there anyway to spell it more girly or something?
we originally had michaela as a girls name - but one of my "friends" i told used it for her girls name so now thats out - top friend!
thanks :D
Hayden Panettiere is a girl :) And a gorgeous one too.
I like it.
Nup. But then I wouldn't use Cameron for a girl either. Doesn't seemed to have harmed Cameron Diaz :)
There are so many lovely 'girls' names to use, I'm not a fan of using 'boys' names for girls or gender neutral names. but that's just me.
My best friends little girl is Haydn!! Gorgeous name I love it!
No, I wouldn't but mainly b/c I think of it as a boys name b/c my BIL is Hayden
If I liked it, I would use it. Other people can just get used to it :)
I was coming to say what Heaven said.
I don't like the name myself but I do think it is fine for a girl.
I am a fan of unisex names and crossing the lines of whats 'girly' or 'masculine'. I say go for it! People close to you will get used to it and in time it will probably lose the 'it's a boys name' feel.
No sorry, it's a boys name.
no I wouldn't. But we did have it picked as DS's name till DS was born and then changed it.
I love it!!
Personally, no - but I tend to prefer traditional girly names over unisex anyways.
I wouldn't let that stop you though, if you love the name, go for it - and as Tashybabe said, having a traditionally masculine name hasn't hurt Cameron Diaz at all. Or any of the other both boys and girls with androgynous names :)
My daughter is a Darcy.
At the time we named her, there were hardly any girls named Darcy only boys. I don't think she could make it any girlier.
I really really like it.
In fact would you be horrified if I put it on our list?
Yeah that :D She was the first person who popped into my head when I read this thread despite growing up with a Hayden who's a guy! LOL.:
If you love it then use it! Everyone else will get over it and get used to it in no time.
Personally I wouldn't because I'm very traditional with names and not a fan of using boys names for girls and vice versa. I'm also not a fan of unisex names either though. Boring I know, LOL!!
If you like it go for it I say. It isn't anyones business what you call your kids.
No. But that is not because I don't think it "belongs" on a girl, just because it is just not my style, as a name. For either gender. I don't know why.
But if the question were "should *you* call your daughter Hayden?" then I would say absolutely, yes, you should, because it is cute and different, and you like it.
I know a guy who has two girls called Jaden and Ronin. They are delightful.
I love it, i would definatly use it and whatever you name your beautiful bundle it will suit it. Best of luck convincing that husband
I quite like it :)
I like super traditional girlie names, but I like 'boys names' on girls too. Its a way to be different without being 'yooneeke' if you catch my drift.
And at least it actually IS a name and not a random object or the equivalent of a barcode!
i love it
actually i like it better as a girls name than for a boy
it challenges peoples perception of a person that they may associate with a persons name
we all do it
for instance when you hear a certain name you automatically build a picture of how that person would look before you meet them
with unisex names people have to rethink their perception when they meet the person as their perception will be all wrong as their gender assumption will be wrong!!
hope that is not too confusing
but i say- if you like it- then do it!!!!!
This is the first person that I thought of when I read your post. I like it for a girl.:
I like it for both genders, but I actually prefer it for a girl..
Honestly your question is exactly why we never tell anyone the names we are throwing around before bub is born. Other peoples opinions can really take the fun and enjoyment out of choosing a name for your bub.
GL xo
I rekon go for it!
Some spelling options:
Haidyn
Haydenne
Hadene
to me is still a boyish name.
what about Haven?
My first thought was the same as the others, Hayden Panettiere.
And Kim, your Darcy is the cutest little munchkin ever, she's the first person I think of when I hear the name :D
I love it as a girls name which is funny as my little brother is Hayden.
Who are we to decide if it's a 'boys' name, is it written anywhere it was a guys name before it was a girls name, maybe it's a girls name that boys have stolen :rofl:
If you like it, use it. I think it's gorgeous!

I'm with Kim, as I too have a Darcie. I changed the spelling as I think ie looks more girly. Now when I hear a Darcy, I automatically think GIRL!
I'm not sure if Hayden is traditionally a unisex name? Bit if you like it for a girl, use it I say :)

I love it! Its a beautiful name!
thanks ladies :D
I like it too, I personallyt wouldn't use it but I DO like it for a girl. I think if you and your man love it then pop it up the top of the list and keep it to yourself so no one in real life knows.
Its hard to say "EEEEWWWWWW I don't like that name" when you are looking at a sweet little baby with her angelic face and new baby smell ;)
ETA - you did ask for other spellings so you could go Haiden or Haidyn ??
thanks for your input ladies..
not a fan of haven though! we will stick to hayden.. i think i like haydenne but ill see what dh thinks! he isnt a fan of the "different" spelling (neither am i but i think thats pretty)
I like it Alish - with it's usual spelling. You never know what you'll get in the long run anyway. A friend of mine is called Gentle (definitely not a boy name), however, since she did her PhD, when she registers at a hotel, or a conference or anything as Dr Surname, the assumption is she's a man! Even to the point of putting her in a room with a male colleague - she got them to change that quick smart!
Good luck - not long to go now!
thanks wbm!! i love haydenne too but dh dosent so we are happy with hayden..
not long for you either!! xx
