Calling all Haydens, Bradens, Aidens, and other -den names! You've got another awesome cousin to play with. His name is Cayden, and he's a modern English variation of the Welsh Caden and Cathall. He has become popular as a boys' name since debuting on the charts in 1999. Translating to "battle," this name is sure to encourage baby's fighting spirit. That middle “y” makes it a super-clear name to pronounce. It was a big hit with Kevin Costner, the Oscar-winning actor, who named his son Cayden Wyatt in 2007.
