I’m having trouble naming my son. We love the name Camdon. (My husband and I) the problem is, whenever I mention it to someone they turn their nose up, as it’s a city in NJ, with not the best reputation. I know people say to go with what you love and don’t worry about others, I just don’t want him to have a name that makes people pre-judge him by or look down on. Thoughts?
My cousins name is Camden and I love it. I also like Camron for a boy or Camryn for a girl. But it is your decision. Maybe a different spelling will help you out or just go with what you want and screw everyone else
Thats a beautiful name and straight up, F what people think. It’s your kid, you made him, carried him and birthed him you name him what you want to. If someone would judge him on his name alone they dont deserve to be in his presence much less turn their noses up.
My names Montana…
it’s a name.
A name of a city/country/town. And guess what. A PERSON.
You like the name. YOU pick the name. Don’t let anyone else ruin that for you
Not their baby not their business… do what u want
He is yours and your husband’s baby - do what the hell the you want and don’t worry about others feel/think. The only person whose opinion you need to worry about is yours and your husband’s. I had the same reaction when I told everyone that my second son was going to be named “Hyatt” (after my Granddaddy) - my MIL even straight up said to me that it was odd name and that she didn’t like it. And you know what? I stuck to my guns and told her I don’t care. My son is named after his Grandfather and Great-Grandfather.
Name your child what u want it’s your child and the name is pretty
Spell it different? It’s a cute name.
Truth is everybody is going to be judge no matter what so who cares what people think. When I name my little girl Charlie everybody talked about it now everybody’s in love with it.
Everybody had names for my twins when they were born. I still name them what I wanted to and now everybody loves those names… it doesn’t matter … we get judged no matter what… be happy
We know plenty of people with that name. It’s a fine name. Who cares what people think. It’s y’all’s baby!!
If you and your husband love the name ( beautiful name by the way ) then go with it. You are not naming the baby to please anyone else but the other person who helped create this baby. Forget what anyone has to say.
Screw what others think. It’s your kid not theirs
He is your child, so don’t let ANYONE convince you otherwise!!
I have a friend and her little boys name is Camden. He’s a sweet little boy and they call Cam. And it feels right. When I was pregnant with my first we had two boys names and two girls names. So when our son was born, It looked at him and he looked more like an Aaron than a Bryan. Sometimes you just have to see the baby to make your final decision. Good luck!!
Pick what you like and don’t be concerned about others
Give him an epic middle name like Atlas or shinobu… But for real people judge people for less than a name. They don’t have to respect the name but they do have to respect you and your child. They will get used to it… Put it this way no joke an old friend of mine named her daughter ABCDE… pronounced absidy… That’s not even the worst I have heard… I know a chick named feavers
It’s a name. Lol your child your choice. If they don’t like it oh well. Not like you’re naming your child something they can’t pronounce, spell, or remember. I’ve seen some pretty out there names and Camden is just fine.
Who cares what people think at the end of the day he’s your child and your the one naming him so they can get it over it! It’s a cute name by the way!
Name him what you want. You fell in love with the name, not the reputation of a city. Personally, I like it too.
Screw everyone else. I have a daughter coming in 2 weeks and her name is Lorelai Raine McKelle and I have had family tell me why that’s not a good name. It’s too much, blah blah blah…screw them. Use the name you want!!!
The name is wonderful isn’t nick lacheys sons name Camden ?
I have a Logan ( city in UT) and a Jackson ( city in FL) so… I know 2 Camdens I’d probably go with the same spelling as the city and Camden Yards the ball park but other than that I like the name. Just food for thought a lot of people will default to the city spelling so he will have to correct it a lot as he grows.
People will complain about any name. Don’t tell people the name until he’s born then they won’t even care
Every single name I choose for all three off my kids my family did this. They won’t even mention it again after baby comes, go with you’re heart!!! I stuck with them, the names no one cared for.
People are always gonna judge you for something, no matter what it is. Go with what you want and fuck what others think
Do you live in Jersey? If not, don’t worry about it.
That’s the number one reason I don’t tell people the baby names we were considering because I got sick of hearing their reactions because their opinions really don’t matter!
Pick a name that you guys love, it’s your baby! Everyone else will get use to it!
If you love the name. Camden then go for it
Unpopular opinion right here: Please don’t.
We are naming our son Dexter Bryan but his nickname will be Deebo from the movie Friday
Love the name, name what you want.
My entire family disliked the name Emersyn and hardcore pushed other names on me. I loved the name Emersyn so that’s what I named my daughter despite what they thought of it, and now they love her to the moon and back. Don’t worry about what people think of the name you pick. They’re not the one growing your baby and if they hate it that much, they don’t have to be around your bundle of joy. I think Camdon is a great name
Kids are gonna get picked on no matter what there names are, I’ve definitely heard worse, least it’s not apple, or dick, flower or anything else remotely stupid
He’s your baby. Name him whatever you like. I met a kid the other day named Kompton. I’m not going to even comment on that one.
It’s your child name him what you want. I let others cause me to change my mind for my oldest and I still regret it and she’s 21 now lol! I have a daughter named Brooklyn and a son named Zavion choose what you like!
Dont pay attention to what others say! My sons name is damian and there was ALOT of “The Omen” references but only for a short time and then the comments died off. I never let them bother me and u shouldnt either. He is ur baby, not theirs…
Change to Camden, camdan. Also you will never please everyone if you say the name before baby is born. Make your choice then announce after baby is here.
I live in Nj and yes I do think of Camden the city but I see it’s spelled different. I would just think oh ok it sounds like that. I thinks it’s actually a nice name I say go with it. (And yes I’ve been there I get the judgement but it’s just a name tell people to mind their business).
People will complain about anything. Go ahead and name him that. It’s cute.
I named my daughter Anna and everybody didn’t like it because it was too old fashioned. Then the movie Frozen came out and it was the cutest name ever which was even more annoying. Who cares what other people associate it with. It’s not their child
It’s your child. Name him what you wish. Who cares what others think.
First of all, he is your child you should name him what you want. And second he is not going to be the only person with that name, and he has nothing to do with the cities reputation that he will share a name with. I really think you are overthinking this…
I have a few names picked and have barely told anyone the runnings because I don’t care to hear what others think of my children’s names. It’s my child and I will name him what I want. I named my daughter Danica Roxanne because I have loved Danica for such a long time, and I still do. We get compliments on her name often. And if someone doesn’t like it, they keep their opinions to their self. My son I’m pretty sure we have decided, and I’ve told a few people and some are in aw, others don’t like it, you will always have someone say something negative about everything. The name you like is a good solid name, there’s nothing wrong with it. Go with what you want so you don’t have mixed emotions about it later
My brothers sons name is Camden ! So cute. It’s a good name I would stick with it
People are always gonna talk and judge and bully do what you want
It’s a very cute name and honestly if you guys love the name that’s all that matters!!!
Everyone is judged by their name anyways… do what you want!
Your choice go with the name y’all picked everyone will start to like it
Prefer Camden over Camdon (too much lime condom) just my opinion…
Name him what you want. Camden, NJ is shitty, that’s true.
Choose a name that you love. There are always going to be haters of no matter what name you give him. Teach him to strive and be proud of himself no matter what his name is.
If the opinion of others bothers you that much, by all means, name him to their satisfaction. If they do not like his hair style or clothing, change that too
This is YOUR child. Do what you want for your son.
Every one’s pre-judged by mostly every one else for something or another any ways and most the time those doing the judgement don’t deserve the one they judging so the way I see it you are saving that baby from people who are horrible to begin with and don’t need to be in his life anyway. Seriously do you want your child around someone so petty that they would dismiss another over a name?
Someone is going to have something to say about ANY name you pick.
Name him what YOU want
He’s your son name him what ever you like
It ur decision dont allow negative ppl get 2 u
I think Camdon is a great name
People were rude about my first childs name, so with the 2nd I barely told anyone. No one elses business what you name YOUR child. Find a name you and the father love and be condident in that.
My boy friend named our cat Khaleesi after the character in GOT…a couple of people said negative things, but I love it and don’t care. Name your sweet boy Camdon and to heck with what others think…your kitty, your choice!
I thought you said Condom
I posted this on Facebook a week or 2 before he was born…we were having a hard time naming our third son and every name we said to people they had their opinions (which were often negative) so we finally decided on a name and didn’t tell anyone … posted this pic basically saying f off people …this is his name!!! … Don’t let anyone influence your name choice…it’s YOUR BABY … My other 2 boys names are Silas & Chaise
SOMEBODY is always going to dislike the name. No matter what you choose.
My sons name is Avery. I hear it all the time “oh that’s a girls name” “you’re trying to make him a girl” blah blah blah. I love the name, I’m happy I chose it. I don’t care what other people say or think. Give your child the name you love and forget about everyone else
You name that kid whatever the hell you want. Don’t worry about other peoples reactions please.
Your child. Your choice.
You will NEVER make everyone happy. Soo make yourself happy!!
We have a Camden, Maine. And it’s beautiful!
This is why we only told a select few people our sons name before he was born. He has kind of a nerdy name and I knew people would have terrible things to say if they knew before hand. Even my dad said “I’m gonna take that poor kid to the social security office to change his name”…Now that he’s almost 2, everyone has gotten used to his name and a lot of people love it. His name is Garrett (main character in the videogame Thief) Dovah (Dragon in Elder Scrolls)
Lol promise once he gets here it’s all love. I have a baby named leonidas. Everyone hated the name. I didn’t care this was his name. As soon as he came it’s been very let me hold him and he is so cute. So don’t worry about it. There is always someone unhappy but it’s your baby
We had a hard time picking Names, we decided not to pick a name that is already taken in the family or friends circle AND also no names of People we knew. We named our Boys Eric and Joel. They have their uncles names as middle names.
Who gives a fuck what people think, name your kid what you want
Are you specific on the spelling? You could always change the spelling just to make it a little different. There’s always gonna be somebody who doesn’t like the name, but at the end of the day it’s your little person and you are choosing what they are named. I have a nephew named Kamden FYI!
Hun you are the one who is going to be saying the name every day, make sure it’s one that you love. Camdon is a very nice name (Camden is the city, it’s spelled differently, therefore not the same thing) I named my baby Luna and have to constantly hear about how random Betty’s neighbor has a dog named Luna, one old lady once said she knew a mean old man named Luna, people will say what they wanna say without thinking about how they’re making themselves look like asses. Choose something that makes you happy and f everyone else.
If you both love the name, go with it. Who cares what people have to say, when he arrives all that will be forgotten. Theres always going to be someone with something negative to say, unfortunately.
My son, is named Riker, and there a plenty of people who doesnt like it as a name… or thinks of it with Rikers Island (the prison)…or with Commander Riker from Star Trek(which is actually where my other halfs name came from-then my son has the same first name as well)… My own father, tried running his mouth about the name, telling me to “get real” & “give him a real name”… My reply: “hes my son, thats his name, and its not being changed. no one else has to like it, so too bad.”
and that was the end of that.
I was gonna name my son Archibald …no one likes it🤷 so my husband and I finally decided on Ruckus… Everyone hated that😂 his name is Ruckus with a classic middle name after his grandfather and dad. Just in case he needs something later in life more conservative. My mom very rarely calls him by his first name but my son will correct anyone else if they call him anything but Ruckus. Do what you want it’s your child not anyone elses
More than like you’ll end up going by cam as a nickname. But either way choose what you love. And forget these weirdos who instantly think of NJ.
It’s a cute name. I say this is your child, not theirs. Feck em And their judgmental remarks!! Unsolicited advice and opinions are not needed!!! I went through that with two of my kids from my mother and mother in law, know what they got? I told them when they made this child, carried them for 9 months, pushed them out of their body then they could have an opinion, otherwise, shut it!
I like it. Choose what you and your husband like.
Name your child what your heart tells you.
There is quite a few cities with the name Camdon.
There is a Camden s.c. also.
Try cameron! Its similar.
Born and raised in mount laurel nj, live in Georgia now with a nephew named Camden and that never once came to mine. I would t worry a lot what everyone else says/thinks.
I love it and I’m from NY and nj didn’t even come to mind until you wrote it lol
Your child will judged by other regardless. Just like we are. You’re his parents choose what you feel fit. I’m currently pregnant and I want to name the baby Ivy if it’s a girl and I’ve had some people say oh well she will be made fun of, people will call her posion ivy. I honestly don’t give af. I’ll name the baby who I carried for 9 months whatever I please. Teach your child to be confident in himself and he will be able to brush any kind of negativity off.
No matter what you name your child someone will always judge go with what you want it’s what the hubby and I do its y’alls kid not anyone else I like the name
I named my baby emily-rose, at first only afew people liked it. Others said don’t because of the movie they thought it was weird. But I liked it.
Name him what you like people can always find something to tease about we have a Kieffer, Carter , Parker and an Amir and Zahir
My sons name is Remington.
I either get rednecks say “oh my god LiKe ThE gUn”.
And others who think it’s prestigious, etc.
Not everyone likes your chosen baby names but i have a secret for you…
It’s your fucking baby
Cameron or canton or carter or caleb
I don’t get it. That’s a pretty normal name. Do what you want.
My nephews name is Camden
And there are girls named savanna, etc.
I went to high school with a Mercedes and a Porsche and a Carma
My son is Jackson and I’m from Jacksonville, Fl
But that had nothing to do with naming him. My husband loved the name and that was that.
There will always be someone to say something about a name. Just make sure you give him one he can stand tall with as an adult and you’re set. Just my opinion.
