Hoping on God for a male child ,definitely will name him Jayden…. already have a sweet baby girl just a male to balance 😊
I went to hospital at 9 weeks pregnant because I was bleeding and the doctors told me I was miscarriaging I believed in God for my baby to make it . At 5 months now I was thinking of a name for being thankful to God that am still carrying my baby found out a few days ago he’s a baby and just choose Jayden as his name with my husband because it suits our situation indeed we are thankful to God and God heard our prayers.
I have planned to name my unborn son Jayden because God has heard my cry. Have been trying having a baby since our matrimonial wedding but I have been miscarriging. I’m grateful ever
I chose the name jayden for my son born in2016 but though he’s a celebral pulsy baby.i love him so much.he survived much more when people thought he wouldn’t make it.thank God he answered
I thank God for this name cz it has a meaning I HV been looking for indeed God has heard my prayers cz I HV two girls and one boy so wanted another boy to balance and indeed God has heard my prayers, glory be to God
I have an older brother named Jay. I was his side kick when we were growing up and I daydreamed about naming my child after him,, I came up with he name jayden when I was about 12 years old,, just made it up. That was 1977..
So In 1986 When my daughter was born I named her Jayden. A few years later my brother jay opened a casting agency on the corner of hollywood and vine ..if I remeber correctly. It was called ‘ To the top’ and its sister agency that was for kids was called ‘ March Hare’ jayden would frequent his office and participate in whatever was going on there. On occasion people would ask if they could borrow her name. And so it went from there.
Now jer name is super popular,,,, she is all grown up (31)and calls herself Jade…
go figure
