Middle Names for Aden: 100+ Ideas for a Modern Little Person

Choosing the perfect middle name for Aden…

​I’m so glad we went with the name Aden for our little boy! It makes me happy every time I see it in writing.

“Aden” means “little fire”, which is adorable.

Its more common spellings are Aiden and Aidan, both of which are great too. I preferred the shorter version since I don’t love the “ai” letter combination.

The great thing about the “A” name Aden is that there are TONS of options for middle names. It’s kind of a blank slate of a name.

Here’s a huge list of choices for your baby boy or girl’s middle name

Middle names for Aden that DON’T work

Names are completely subjective. What I dislike, you might love. Totally cool.

Nevertheless, here is a list of middle names that I’d personally avoid for a baby boy named Aiden, Aidan, or Aden.

  • Aden Jayden … I’m not a fan of names that rhyme
  • Aden Logan … I don’t like the “en” “an” combo
  • Aden Lincoln … reminds me too much of Abe Lincoln
  • Aden Adrian … these names are too similar
  • Aden Owen … again, too similar

And obviously, be sure to take into account the baby’s last name. You don’t want any weird initials.

Final thoughts on choosing the best middle name for Aden

The choice for us was easy: Aden James. Not only do I love this name combination, but James is a meaningful name in my husband’s family.

If you’re trying to find the best middle name to go with the A name Aden, make a short list on your phone of the combinations you like best. Try to narrow it down to 5 or fewer. Then, regularly, throughout the day, take a glance at your list. Knock off any of the ones that start to give you pause.

Hopefully, after a few weeks of doing this you’ll have it narrowed down even further.

Worst case, you can decide your Aden’s middle name when you meet him or her!
