The story
Jaiden is the Jayden sound in one of its chosen spellings, and the family it belongs to is one of the century's defining workshops: Jayden, the anchor, about 276,100 with its own story here; Aiden, the source sound, about 259,900, storied too. Jaiden's own record is the era in miniature: about 1,100 in the 1990s, an explosion to 19,800 in the 2000s, then 16,800 in the 2010s and 3,900 so far this decade. It began genuinely shared, about 8,300 girls in the record all-time, and has settled toward boys, about 3,800 to 170 this decade. The -aiden sound was the 2000s' great engine, and the ledger charts each spelling on its own line: this is the i-spelling's, an entire cohort now in high school and college, carrying the era's signature sound.
