Cadence- boy or girls name???

[miskilla]

Names are so hard! I dont like anything that is common or 'in' and so on... we're having a boy.

What do you think of Cadence? Is it more for a boy or a girl? I thought boy when I heard it but some people say girl... shortened to Cade, I think boy.

Still pondering.. I like 'Z' names so also have Zabian & Zenth in the mix, and also Tully or Ollie (bit too common though Im thinking).

Does anyone else have any ideas or opinions? Thanks girls

[Joeve]

Cade - boy
Cadence - girl
Both lovely names!!!! goodluck

[Indadhanu]

Cadence I think of a girl, because the first time I heard it was frpm a friend who has a little girl Cadence.

Cade, boy or girl to me

[Nai]

Cade - boy
Cadence - girl

What about Cadel (as in Cadel Evans) for a boy and you can also shorten that to Cade?

[~Hestia~]

Cadence - my first thought was girl sorry.
Cade - never seen it but I thought boy.
Z names Zoran, Ziggy, Zeus, Zann, Zani, Zafer, Zagger.

[Cadence]

My daughter is Cadence so for me it is definetely a girl's name.
Have heard of Cade or Caden for a boy!
Good luck!

[BabyQ]

a girl

[Hummingbird]

I think Cadence is a girl's name.
If you went with just Cade then I think it's a boys name.

[lindsaymaree]

My first thought is also for a girl, but I don't think think it's too femmine to be used for a boy either!!

I love it for either

[Ree*Ree]

yep, cadence is a girly name i reckon!

[nickers]

not sure if its common or not but what about Caden? I liked this name when we were talking boys names.
A friend of mine has a Kade with a K instead of C.
Cadence i think more of a girls name.

Z names maybe:
Zyder
Zayden
Zen

[sneakysparkle]

I think Cadence is a girls name, but really like the suggestion of Caden for a boy!

Z names - I like Zimmer and Zane

[Arimeh]

Yeah definitely what the others have said re: cadence being girly.

We were going to name our last bub Zephryn if she was a boy - cos we liked Z names too.

[miskilla]

Thanks guys!
Zephryn is another on our list actually! Along with Zabian & Zenth, Zennon, Zenikai.
So far we have:

Madden/ Mannon/ Mannix
Alakai/ Arlen
Tallix/ Tannix/ Tanner
Jakai
Kaizen or Caizen
Astah/ Aster

I just keep throwing in changes to the same kinda names heheh but it's so hard! What do you think of any of those names... good or bad, I wanna hear it all

[Amity]

I'd personally say girl.

Kade/Cadel/Caden are more masculine IMHO.

Good luck!

[Rainbow_Mumma]

i thought girl also

some Z names:
Zymon
Zane
Zaide
Zaniel
Zarrad
Zeke

[Arimeh]

Madden/ Mannon/ Mannix
Alakai/ Arlen
Tallix/ Tannix/ Tanner
Jakai
Kaizen or Caizen
Astah/ Aster

I'm not that keen on any of them unfortunately - but that doesn't mean they aren't great names, if you like them thats all that matters!!

I'm all for unusual names - you should see some of the ones I've put out there on the baby name threads - especially when we were tossing up names for the last bub

[nickers]

i like Zephryn! He could get Zeph or Ryn for short which both sound good.
you also have to think about what names will be shortened to, cause even if you dont others will and if u do/dont like the shortened version it may make a difference to your choice.
i think Jakai would get shortened to Jack and thats super common so if ur not wanting a common name i wouldnt go with that.
Im like you, i like uncommon names but not too out there, my boys are Nixon & Tyron.
Another name i like is: Ezekiel
