Not Kaiden. There is no E anywhere in his first name. It is a freaking A! KaidAn Alenko. UNDERSTAND?!

[AngelicMachinery]

Kaiden is an awesome bro and he doesn't afraid of husks.

[Made Nightwing]

This is a principle of spelling, not bromance or romance.

I'm just being an ass, I can't really help it when it comes to this sort of thing.

I approve of this message, even if the delivery leaves something to be desired.

I just don't understand where the misspelling came from.

Playing without subtitles and not speaking perfect english?  It can be any reason really,  but,  we already have this exact same thread.  It just seems like one of those little things that can cause big, big, big rage.  As such some people may in fact be prone to using it just because of the rather emotional responces it illicits.

The game itself spells it wrong sometimes.  In my English version for the 360, every now and again the subtitles say "Kaiden" instead of "Kaidan".  It drives me crazy.

[Made Nightwing]

lol, agree with you on that one. I am not always a grammar ****, but I feel Kaidan's pain. My first name is Brendan, but so many people insist on spelling it Brenden or Brendon.

[Made Nightwing]

Not only that, but we will finally spell out Tali's full name, though it might take about thirty pages.

It would be an honest mistake since both are legit ways of spelling the name:


Kaiden \\ as a boy's name is a variant of Kaden (Arabic), and the meaning of Kaiden is "companion".

Kaidan \\ as a boy's name is a variant of Kaden (Arabic), and the meaning of Kaidan is "companion".

This reminds me of a girl who spelled her name DANA but pronounced it Donna and was pissed everytime someone called her Dana.

This.

But like BioWare with the capital-W, all you can do is write it correctly yourself and ignore everybody else.

[Raiil]

It's an honest mistake. The way I hear it, I would spell it with an e, not an a. Most people I know would pronounce -dan as DAHN, not DEHN.

Not the end of the world, bigger fish to fry, reapers, etc.

My head just exploded.

From what I see in my country it's also the problem of transliteration - first, into cyrillic alphabet: ME1 and 2 have named him Кайдан (Kaidan), Кейдан (Keidan, the most popular name among journalists here), Кайден (Kaiden and Кэйден (errm, Keid'en? Only TIM uses it). Confusing even ingame, and when people try to transliterate it back, nasty things happen.
The same problem with players have no idea how it will be in english is experienced by Zaeed/Zaed/Zaheed/Zaid, Ashley/Ashly/Ashely, Garrus/Gerrus/Garus, Wrex/Rex, Mordin/Modrin, Thane/Tein, Samara/Sammara/Samora. Oh, and localised version has "Грюнт(Grjunt)" because Грунт(Grunt) is a word meaning "ground"

Funny, I always spelled it C-A-R-T-H.

[Made Nightwing]

And I spell Orion1836 as F-A-I-L T-R-O-L-L

Normally I'd find posts like "Fail Troll" more alerting than what Orion said.

He is similar to Carth. I wasn't aware this was cause for some kind of spat.

I honestly thought they were voiced by the same person until I looked it up. I actually didn't mind Carth all that much, but I couldn't help think of him every time Kaidan was around. They have the same look, voice, and boy-scout personality.
