[mamaellis]

i love the name jayden. im white my sons dad is white and i named my son jaydon

I think it also depends on where you live and what's popular.. I don't know about jayden being "almost exclusively" a white name. Where I'm from a lot of blacks or Mexicans have this name not really white people..

[clarijar]

So what what they think. They're just trying 2 give you a hard time...! and by the way I havea nephew and that's his name & we're mexican. I don't think it has nothing 2 do about what colour or race we are.

Well,  a lot of names DO go by race.  About half the time you can look at a name and know what race/ethnicity the person is,  about half the time it's a name that crosses racial/ethnic lines.  

There are certainly some names that are clearly white,  clearly black,  clearly Indian,  clearly asian,  etc.  

Interestingly,    I'd say Jayden is almost exclusively a white name,  and a very recent name - Jaydens are 5 years old and younger.

I agree with the ladies above. People can be so rude and insensitive its annoying.. my youngest sons name is jaydon, but we spell it different. My hubby thot it looked more masculine lol I'm like who thinks like tht:) and what girls do you know with the name jayden lol

Who cares what other people think about the name. If you like it, then that's all that matters. You usually find that when people say things like that, it's either because they're jealous and like the name themselves and so don't want anyone else to have it, or they just like to be miserable and be horrible to other people.

Ignore then, if you like the name then so be it.
