How popular is the baby name Graden in the United States right now? How popular was it historically? Use the popularity graph and data table below to find out! Plus, see all the blog posts that mention the name Graden.
The graph will take a few moments to load. (Don't worry, it shouldn't take 9 months!) If it's taking too long, try reloading the page.
Earlier today, my husband sent me an article about Dan and Susie Kellogg and their 12 children. The entire family, from Colorado, has lived in an RV full-time since last fall.
I was intrigued when I read that all 12 Kellogg kids have names ending in y. But the family blog, Kellogg Show, makes it clear that the Kellogg kids simply have nicknames ending in y:
Kerrigan, “Kerry” (b. 1993)
Graden, “Grady” (b. 1996)
Broden Michael, “Brody” (b. 1997)
Kadrian, “Kady” (b. 1998)
Kendon Thomas, “Kenny” (b. 2000)
Dallan Patrick, “Dally” (b. 2001)
Carden David, “Cardy” (b. 2003)
Madigan Grace, “Maddy” (b. 2005)
Rowden Vincent, “Rowdy” (b. 2007)
Emmelyn Trinity, “Emmy” (b. 2008)
Ellevyn Noelle, “Elly” (b. 2010)
Coby (b. 2012) – not sure if it’s a nickname
Did you catch Ellevyn for the eleventh child? That would’ve been a good one for an 11-11-11 baby.
Which of the given names above do you like the best? And, which nickname is your favorite?
Looking for a set of baby names with something in common? If so, here are some 6-letter anagram names for you to check out!
Anagrams are words that contain the same set of letters, but not in the same sequence. For instance, the words “listen,” “silent,” and “tinsel” are all anagrams of one another.
Anagram names can be a neat option for siblings — particularly multiples (like twins and triplets). They’re also a clever way to connect a baby name to the name of an older relative (e.g., grandpa Weston, grandson Townes).
Below are hundreds of six-letter names (collected from the SSA’s huge database of U.S. baby names) that happen to be anagrams of other names.
We all know that names like Jayden and Aiden are popular. But…how popular?
This weekend, my goal was to find out.
I sat down with the SSA’s baby name list for 2009, picked out all the -ayden names, and counted them. I counted both the number of variants and the number of babies with each variant.
Here’s a run-down of what I found, sorted by ending. (Get ready to scroll!)

TOTAL

267
Of the (at least) 2,095,910 baby boys born last year, (at least) 102,992 were given an -ayden name. That’s over 4.9%–about 1 in 20.
Of the 14,404 boy names on the SSA’s list, 267 are -ayden names. That’s 1.9%–about 1 in 50.
[Disclaimer: I’m assuming all of the variants above rhyme with Jayden, but I can’t make any guarantees about pronunciation. Also, I didn’t count the following: variants with 3 syllables, variants with 2-vowel endings (e.g. -dien, -deyn), variants that look like Eden and Madden, and (possible variants?) Ajdin and Dredin.]
Jayden, Aidan, Caden, Braden and Hayden (and their many variants) are well-established on the list of the top U.S. baby names. Zayden and Raiden have joined the rankings recently as well.
Which “-den” name will be next to pop up on the list?
Well, the Sacred Heart Medical Center in Eugene, Oregon welcomed a baby Graden on April 5 and a baby Dreyden on May 2. Benefis Healthcare in Great Falls, Montana welcomed a baby Bladen on May 22 and a baby Payden on March 11. Those are some possibilities. And I wouldn’t be too surprised to see a Sladen, Tayden or Treyden on the list, either.
It’s likely that Xayden will show up at some point, but I’m not sure it should count as an entirely new “-den” name. (If you pronounce the X like a Z, it’s a variant of Zayden; if you pronounce the Z like an H, it’s a variant of Hayden.)
So which “-den” would you put your money on? Why?
Update: Just spotted a Blayden, born on May 6th at St. Joseph Hospital in Washington state.
