Better Than Aiden, Brayden, & Caden

Sheridan is one surname-name that hasn't come into style for either gender, though it was lightly used for boys around the turn of the 20th century and girls 100 years later. The name does have an attractive sound and an appealing meaning.

This contemporary combo name burst onto the scene in tandem with the megasuccess of then-child singer Tevin Campbell in 1989, but has been losing its footing since the start of the millennium.

Ogdan is a masculine name with likely roots in Old English or Norse traditions. It may be a variant of Ogden, which derives from the Old English elements 'ac' meaning 'oak' and 'denu' meaning 'valley,' literally translating to 'oak valley.' The name carries connotations of strength and endurance associated with the mighty oak tree. Ogdan has a substantial, weighty quality with its consonant-rich sound, giving it a distinctly masculine character. While uncommon in contemporary usage, the name possesses an ancient, rustic appeal that might attract parents seeking names with historical depth or nature connections. The slightly altered spelling from the more traditional Ogden gives it a unique quality while maintaining its traditional roots. The name evokes images of steadfastness and natural nobility.
