Alden

Sat next to a little boy Alden on the plane, thoughts?

Was it pronounced "ail-den" or "awl-den"? I could get behind it if it was pronounced "awl-den."

This is my son's cousin's name. He's 6. It's awl-den.

It's DS's middle name. Everyone gives us complements on it as a cool "old man" name. It's a family name for us so even if everyone hated we still were going to use it for his MN.

Awl-den I'm kind of digging it even though it's not one syllable

I like it. I used a similar middle name for my son - it was actually a family surname but has been a middle name for my dad and granddad.

I love this name! A baby at my moms daycare has this name and is the brother to Adelaide.

I like Alden but I know that kid will get called/filed/grouped as Aiden all his life. People will assume it's a keystroke error on his records, etc. That's enough to turn me off from wanting to use it. But I like the sound and feel. 

Well, people are dumb...Rhys is constantly called Rice or rise and Graeme Gray-me so if Aiden is the worst he gets it wouldn't be so bad.

I can't like this name because it's the name of the town DH is from haha. There is a football player with this name except he spells it aldon I think. I would like it if I didn't have that connection to it.

I like it!

I like it. It has an elegant and timeless feel, nothing like Aiden imo.

It gets a thumbs up from me.

I really like this name. I have never seen it used, but it's a historic name with a great meaning.

I think it's great. And Nothing like Aiden.
