Comments on Camden:

This is NOT a girl’s name!! Yes it is… I Named my daughter Lara Camden!!!

Camden is a great name, very strong and boyish. A great alternative to the over popular Cameron. Don’t get me wrong, I like Cameron too.

This my son’s name. I think of it as a boys name mostly but I also like it as a girls name, and I’m someone who usually hates boyish names on girls. He does get called Cameron a lot, mostly by older people but he has already learned to just ignore it and answer to Cameron anyway. My son is only four but he seems to like his name and so do most other people.
