Alden Michael

in Baby Names
DH is finally researching some names to add to our list that we will take to the hospital when the baby is born (we always have a short list of favorites and then decide when we see the baby). Anyway, he came across the name Alden today. It is in the 800s for boys on the SS site but when he looked somewhere else (maybe nameberry) he said that it was up 11% as a girls name. So, I was wondering if anyone has heard this name, knows anyone with this name, etc? Is it a definite boy name or is this going to quickly turn into a unisex name?

    Nameberry can be a bit weird about what it lists as girl and boy names.  It's almost as if they consider all names to be unisex.

    Anyway, Alden is all boy to me.  I really like it!

    The SSA doesn't list Alden in the top 1000 names for girls for the past 100 years.  I think you're safe :-)

    I don't know anyone with this name, but it's definitely more of a masculine name. 

    I realize it's trendy now to go with masculine names for girls, I just don't like it at all.

    It's a great boys name though.

    Solidly a boy's name. Even been floating around the top 1000 boys names for the past 130 years. Solid choice for a name. Good meaning too. I like it.

    Don't like it. It definitely sounds like a boy name to me.
