Hayden (boy)

• a solid-sounding name, never too popular but not relegated to the pile of has-beens. A name that makes an impression.
• just and ausome name masculine, a little romantic
• I just love this name! The meaning is "heathen", which makes it a good name for very intense, serious people. It is a variant of the surname of one of my favorite musicians, Franz Josef Haydn.  
• I like this name because it is just such a sweet name.
• not overused, modern
• One of my preschoolers has this name, a freckle-faced redhead with a sparkling personality, which probably influenced my choice of his name as a favorite. Aidan is cute as well, but Hayden adds...something...
• Cool, masculine, and unusual yet not weird. I like the nick name Hayes.
• Hayden Patrick Ryan - Strong and stubborn just like my blonde haird, blue eyed boy.
• Hayden James: Hayden is derived from his grandmother's name Hannah and his grandfather Dennis. James is my father's first name
• Hayden Phillip: the name hayden attracts me due to the fact that i rarely see it, i think phillip flows nicely behind it & as a horse lover also i could not pass up the meaning "lover of horses"
