Yes, Aidan (correct spelling) and Brady/Braden have different etymologies. But I think the author's points are valid: a) looking at the popularity list without any further analysis leads to misleading conclusions, and b) it makes perfect sense to group names by sound family because of the trend of essentially making up names or choosing non-standard spellings.
