WDTY of Arden Marie?

CutieBean79

Marie is the definite middle name (named after three women in our families), and we really love Arden.  We'd like some outside opinions.  Soooo...what do you think of Arden Marie?  Last name is three syllables, ends with "-berg"

(P.S. Our second choice is Charlotte Marie)

I like Arden and I think it's a nice combination and a lovely tribute to your family. And it should sound fine with your last name.

I like Charlotte Marie better.

I like it

I like both but Charlotte is becoming VERY popular so I might go w/ Arden just because there is less likely to be 3 others in her class!

I like it! I wouldn't choose Charlotte because it's shooting up the charts, and Arden is an uncommon but great name

I'm not a fan of Arden, sorry. It's not very feminine to me, which is fine because not all girl names have to be super feminine. There's just something about the sound of it that's harsh to me.

I really like it!!

I LOVE Arden!  It is one of my favorite girl names- wish DH would go for it!  I think all the names sound really good together.

Same here.  It just doesn't sound like a first name at all to me.

But if you like it... use it.

LOVE it!

I know a 9 yr old Arden, it is a great name and everyone always compliments how different and pretty her name is.

I like Charlotte 1000x more than Arden. It doesn't sound pretty to me.

I LOVE IT. It has a vintage sound to it, but without that "old lady" feel.

I like Arden for a boy, but not for a girl.  To me, the name is incredibly masculine-sounding.  The only people named Arden that I've known have been male (I've known two of them -- one would be about 16 now and the other about 70).  And in its heyday, it was a far more popular name for men than for women according to the SSA charts.

I'm not really a fan either. It's OK, but I agree with the pp's who said it's too last-namey/doesn't really sound like a first name. I like Marie Arden or Charlotte Marie better.
