- Personal experiences with the name Braden
I named my son Braden in 1988 and at the time I had never met a Braden or heard it used as a first name. I loved it because it was not popular like Brandon (back then)and had some good possible nic-names like Brad and Brady in case he didn't want to go by his full name. However, as the chart here shows, almost immediately thereafter it got very popular and I started hearing the name everywhere. I still love it though.
