Meaning of Kayden's Name

I've been tagged by Frances.

Well, andy and i started thinking abt his name when we first know his gender. both his sisters' children have the 'jun'(as in handsome) as the first character and i thought we have to follow suit. however we were not really for it so we decided to come up with his name ourself.

we started off with his chinese name 1st. we are supposed to choose 1 character each. He came up with 'kai'(as in calligraphy) and i came up with 'an'(as in safe), 'le'(as in happy) or 'en'(as in gratitude). in the end, we chose Kai En as his name as I really thank God for giving him to me. Was ttcing for abt half a yr before i strike. was so thankful then.

As for his English name, I preferred the name 'Matthias'as it means 'gift from God' and the children with this name (in the school I taught) are generally of good character and are well-behaved. However, think my parents and andy do not like it. my mum had a hard time trying to pronounce it (pronouncing it as 'mer tyre') haha... we really had a good laugh. finally, after looking up a couple of baby name books, we decided to name him Kayden (means warrior) as we want him to be courageous and it also sounds similar to his Chinese name.
