My Husband and I named our son Aidan Patrick Shannon. We love that it went with our last name which is Irish Like my husband. We decided to go all Irish. I also hate that it became so common. We decide to use the original spelling of the name and people always spell it wrong. It bothers me!!!!

My sons name is Ayden James (james is a family name), he is 9, it was a unique name that i'd never heard before when we decided on it. If i had had any idea how popular the name would become i may have changed my mind. Even the unique spelling, isn't unique anymore. It's kinda sad.
