Anyone Know Baby Boys NOT Named Aiden?
What's with the name Aiden?
Why has it become so popular all of a sudden?
My SIL has a 3 yo. named Aiden and I feel like since then it's become so popular!

Re: Anyone Know Baby Boys NOT Named Aiden?
How funny that you mention that, we just came home from a restaurant and all we heard throughout was this woman calling her son "Aiden"

Re: Anyone Know Baby Boys NOT Named Aiden?
I have an almost 9 year old son named Aidan. Before we named him, I had never heard the name, my husband had always liked the name though.
Now, I hear the name very often!

Re: Anyone Know Baby Boys NOT Named Aiden?
Aidan was my favorite baby name when I was a kid...I'm talking like 12 years old. Nobody had even heard of this name, but then I think around 2001 there were 4 teachers at my school who named their sons Aidan! A friend has an Aidan, a mom in my playgroup has an Aidan, my pregnant cousin will use Aidan if she has a boy. DH didn't like it anyway, so it was never an issue for us.

Re: Anyone Know Baby Boys NOT Named Aiden?
Personally I don't know any Aiden's - so you can imagine my confusion when people insist on spelling my son Aidan's name with an E 
He is the only Aidan in his class and playgroups.

you know, when I started telling people his name they all said this. I was like,  I didn't have HBO and didn't watch the show apparently there was an Aidan on the show. I liked the name for years, when it was unique - no clue what happened though.

Re: Anyone Know Baby Boys NOT Named Aiden?
When my sister named my nephew Aidan 7 years ago- it was NOT a popular name at all. I was like  when she told us. Then SATC had the Aidan character (nephew was maybe 2 at the time) and the world EXPLODED with Aidans.
Needless to say, my sister was P!SSED when that character was introduced.
Similar thing happend with the name Phoebe for me. I always loved it.... but oh well.

Re: Anyone Know Baby Boys NOT Named Aiden?
My son is 5 and Aiden (Aidan) was popular then too. Not sure about before that but it is a nice name. I don't personally know any but my friend's son was Aiden for a day until they changed his name to Anthony. There haven't been any in my kids' classes either though

Re: Anyone Know Baby Boys NOT Named Aiden?
It's strange, I know how popular it is but the only Aiden I know of is the younger brother of one of DS's classmates. Not a single other one.

Re: Anyone Know Baby Boys NOT Named Aiden?
I named my son 7 1/2 years ago... The only other time I heard it was Aidan Quinn... and St. Aidan...
THEN... SATC came out with the character and pOoF Aidan's EVERYWHERE...
so much for having a unique name no ones ever really heard of...
funny thing is, i WORKED on post for that show when I was pregnant. I should have sabotaged the whole thing

Re: Anyone Know Baby Boys NOT Named Aiden?
I have seen the name a lot more frequently, maybe partly b/c of SATC but it was around before then.
Here's a link to the SS website that lists the most popular baby names, and the popularity of each name. Here's the info for Aidan.
Year of birth Rank
2006 44
2005 43
2004 40
2003 39
2002 60
2001 86
2000 114
1999 166
1998 196
1997 222
1996 258
1995 281
1994 440
1993 556
1992 633
1991 796
1990 889
It seems like it was slowly becoming more popular even before SATC, but I'm sure the show helped bump the popularity of the name.

Re: Anyone Know Baby Boys NOT Named Aiden?
Yes, Aidan has become quite popular. I have an older cousin named Aidan. Then as Caroline said there is always the hottie Aidan Quinn. And of course -DonnMarie-'s Aidan is my nephew (well not by blood ) & I know about 3-4 others.

Re: Anyone Know Baby Boys NOT Named Aiden?
My mom wants me to use Aiden for my son. While I do love the name I won't use it because it is so popular. She disagrees.
