My husband loves Alden, but I worry that it would be forever be misread as Aiden. Am I worrying too much?

Full name would be Alden Porter B (one syllable last name).

Or Allden.

You could go for Halden?

I think you've made a good spot that some might have overlooked. Yes it would be frequently misread as Aiden. Fwiw I actually prefer Aiden to Alden.

Yes it would be forever misread I'm afraid. I have a DC with a easily misheard rather than misread name and it does get wearing having to carefully enunciate the name / correct others when first meeting people

Same here. I actually clicked through because I couldn't understand why you were asking if Aiden would be misred as Aiden.

Having said that, it's not a bad name.

Sorry OP, I misread it too. But maybe that is because both names are in the title?

I do like Alden.

Me too

Yes, I saw Aiden too in your op!
