America loves names that rhyme with ‘maiden’

2 comments  |  May 12, 2008  |  Filed under: General names  |  Written by: Luke

Following the release of the top baby name data by the SSA this weekend, a strange trend has emerged – the popularity of names that rhyme with the word ‘maiden’, especially for boys.

Here is a list of boys names from the top 1,000 that follow this trend:

  • Jayden
  • Aiden
  • Aidan
  • Jaden
  • Caden
  • Kaden
  • Ayden
  • Braden
  • Cayden
  • Jaiden
  • Kaiden
  • Aden
  • Caiden
  • Braeden
  • Braydon
  • Jaydon
  • Jadon
  • Braiden
  • Zayden
  • Jaeden
  • Aydan
  • Bradyn
  • Kadin
  • Jadyn
  • Kaeden
  • Jaydin
  • Braedon
  • Aidyn
  • Haiden
  • Jaidyn
  • Kadyn
  • Jaydan
  • Raiden
  • Adin

The girls didn’t jump on this bandwagon quite as much:

  • Jayden
  • Jadyn
  • Jaden
  • Jaiden
  • Kayden
  • Jaidyn

The SSA says there will be no move to standardise the spelling of these names.  Can anybody shed some light on this bizarre trend?
