I think both names are fine, although Sutton seemed more unique. I think all the comments about Jayden being “overused” are kind of funny. If she had named him Michael or John or William, would people say it was overused? Maybe it’s just because Jayden is still considered trendy, whereas those other names are pretty timeless. Maybe the same will hold true for some of today’s “hot” names!

Britney is born in Lousiana, not in Mississippi !!!

When Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith named their children, each name had special meaning: Jaden (containing the “Ja” in “Jada”) and Willow (containing the “Will” in “Will”) and I thought it was a lovely way to honor the parents. But, there have been SO many children (celebrity and not) named Jaden, Jayden, Jaeden, Jaydyn, etc. that I’m a bit overwhelmed by the name. This trend may vary depending on what part of the country you live in. It was like when I was in school and there was a Jennifer A., a Jennifer S., a Jennifer H. and so many other Jennifers that they usually adopted nicknames or HAD to attach a last name initial simply to be identified at school. It was the same with Jason and Michael: there were so many boys named those names they HAD to resort to the first initial of the last name just so the teachers and students didn’t go crazy trying to identify the kids. It doesn’t make the names less attractive, and each person picks out a name that suits their tastes, traditions, etc., but some names do get old fast when so many people are naming their children those names. Out of all the names (and combinations) I’ve heard that Britney has supposedly named her child, I like Jaden Pierce the best (and don’t even mind “JP” – I like it far better than “JJ”, which has been overdone in my area to the nth degree.) But, it’s her child and she can name him whatever she wants. And, I’ve certainly heard names that are much worse and some that are positively cringe-inducing, but these don’t fit into that category. Names go in cycles, anyway, just like fashions and other trends. So, they go from cutesy, to traditional, to classic, to earthy/natural, and the cycle goes on. When I named my children, I didn’t know at the time their names would end up so popular and I was a bit disappointed that their names were a bit overused. But, the names suit them and didn’t embarrass them, which I think is important.

It’s up on many sites, you must have just missed it. Here are some links:

This story hasn’t ran on any of my favorite gossip shows yet, normally they are only 2 or 3 days behind CBB. So in conclusion, I’m thinkin this is booboo!

In a personally note: Please people for the love of all things good (and the love of your unborn children) please give the Aiden, Kaden, Haydin, Jaedan name game a rest alredy…if I run across another one of this poor children again, I may feel the need to report the parent(s) to CPS!

Atleast the baby is not named after a piece of fruit !!!

When I was 14 or so, I swore I’d name my future son Jaden.

Now, 10 years later, the name sounds AWFUL to me. It sounds really juvinile. I’ve got no problem with Britney naming her son that… it’s her son, not any of ours. I just can’t believe I used to LOVE the name. Now I’m all about classic “strong male” type names. Our son is named Everett Charles… “Rhett” for short!

Thanks for giving us the meaning of Jaden. I was wondering about it. And “God has heard” fits perfectly for Britney and her family. It was reported that she chose Preston because of it means “dweller at the house of God”. I like it. And the James is supposedly for her dad, Jaime Spears.

On another note, I must say how unkind it is that so many people are “upset” and “horrified” that their kids may have shared or will now share the same name as Britney’s son. I get that SHE may not be your cup of tea, but really! Comments like that are simply awful!
