When did the name Jayden get invented?

There were no Jayden’s when i was at school. 

Martin, Paul, Richard, Timothy, Ian, Robert, Michael, Steven, Mark, Matthew.
We had a Keith and we even had a Gareth. Sort of. 
But there were no Jayden’s.
There was a Jayne. 

I’m not really sure about it. 
 

there was a Suzanne. 
 

 


he was a good lad.

It's a name that's more popular among minorities. I imagine there weren't many at your school at that time.

That tweet is from September 2015. So more likely that we signed him from WBA?

That's the last time I listen to @Stuniverse. We recruited Mike Scott from them as our new head of academy coaching last summer - he may have had an input regarding this one.

Archie Brown is another we signed from them, albeit a year(?) earlier.

Liam Thompson and Kornell McDonald both signed first pro contracts. (Both 18, midfield and full back respectively)

On the rare occasions I’ve watched the U18s, that Liam Thompson has looked outstanding if I’m thinking of the right bloke (CDM I think?). He’s one to watch.

Interestingly, Trialist isn't listed as one of the "Under-23 squad players under contract beyond summer of 2020". I can only assume that means he's now part of the first team squad.

edit: also no mention of Jaden Charles. I'm assuming someone missed him off the list moving up to the U23s
