Aidan derives from the 7th century Irish "Aedan".

Brayden also comes from old Irish "Bradan".

Hayden's origins go back to either old English or old German.

Some suggestion that Caden/Kayden goes back to old Gaelic surnames also, just with an Anglicized spelling to match the popular -aden sound.

Not saying that the overuse of the names/the use of surnames as first names isn't obnoxious (or that some, like Jaden, aren't recent inventions) but most of them are in no way new.

I think in name fandom (yes it's a thing) "new" tends to mean "newly popular" whether the name itself is new or not. If it was "Say that again?"-obscure before a recent date and is suddenly on keychains, it's new.

I know Aidan is an Irish name. It wouldn't annoy me on its own.

The others still bug me, though. They're surnames, and they're only so popular because they fit the rhymes-with-aden trend. Yeah, you can find a few Bradens or Haydens who weren't born in the last decade or so, because people have always used surnames as first names on occasion, but they only became super-popular recently.

In other words "they're popular, now they suck"?
