3. Baby Kimye Was Rumored to be Named Something Similar

Nope. Sorry. Wrong answer. Many thought that Kaidence was actually Kai Georgia. Georgia is where Kanye West grew up and George is the middle name of Kim Kardashian’s late father. Close but no cigar!
4. What is the Meaning Behind Kaidence?

(BabyNameWizard.com)
On BabyNameWizard.com, it is said that the name “Cadence” is a “a rhythmic flow of sounds, as in a poem or a marching song”. This would make sense for music artist and daddy Kanye, wouldn’t it?
However, the website also states:
Creative spellings move the name away from its musical roots into Kaitlyn territory.
So, it seems to be a combination of Kaitlyn and Cadence.
