I used to think my name was uncommon, no-one knew it and everyone spelt it wrong. People spelt Aiden, Aydan and one time even Adean. Some kids in my class would say it as Hayden or try to tease me with Maiden.
I got my name when my mum wanted Adrian or Hayden, so my dad abandoned his choice, Rowan and picked Aidan. Aidan is from Irish, Gaelic origin Aedan, and means “fire” which I think really suits me for two reasons. The first, is because of my fire red hair. The other is because I think I have a fiery personality. My middle name is Oliver, was my dads choice as well, because he didn’t get Rowan, which was a tree, like Linden, he got Oliver. Oliver means Olive in Latin.
Other kids also teased me about Carroll. I don’t mind this because Carroll, as a last name, it is also an Irish and means warrior. Together my name is fire warrior and to me that is pretty cool. I now know that a lot of people are called Aidan. Those people never spell or pronounce Aidan wrong.

I like the meaning of your name too! Fire warrior is a cool name. No image with the post? Maybe go back in and add one. Your voice comes through loud and clear. Well done.
