would like some honest opinions, and possibly some similar sounding suggestions! and have you ever heard it before? Smile

Nooooo.

'Ard-On'

also, more of a masculine name to most people I think.

There are so many other similar better options listed above!

HildaOg · 13/05/2017 00:24

Audrey
Astrid
Ada
Adrianna
Adele

My first thought was the brand Elizabeth Arden. It's not a bad name but it could be associated with a few things which perhaps you'd prefer it not to be.

AngelicaSchuylerChurch · 12/05/2017 21:05

Audra? Audrey?

Blanky · 12/05/2017 17:54

Ardis?

WyfOfBathe · 12/05/2017 00:28

I don't love it. It sounds quite masculine to me and it's the name of a forest (and a university, according to google). What about Arlene or Adrienne?

VerySadInside · 12/05/2017 00:12

Dog food

Pallisers · 12/05/2017 00:04

Pretty.

I know both an Arden and an Auden (and also a Larkin - when I asked was it for the poet they looked at me blankly).

Also know an Ardith which I think is nice.

SuperBeagle · 11/05/2017 23:59

I like it, but prefer Arwen.

HurricaneHalle · 11/05/2017 23:54

Arden Grange is a brand of dog food so it's a no from me.

Lovely Flowers

I personally don't really see how one could hear hard on.

Ahr =/= Hard
dən=/= on

I'm not trying to attack anybody. But I personally wouldn't have thought of that. I'll ask DH tomorrow whether he (being English) also hears "hard on". (I'm genuinely curious now...)

Me4You · 11/05/2017 23:27

I know of one, she must be about 5. I'm afraid I think it's not nice - so vulgar of me but I do hear "hard on".

unapaloma · 11/05/2017 23:21

I like Aria, or Arianne :-)

Sophronia · 11/05/2017 23:13

Anwen? Aubrey? Audra?

CricketRuntAndRashers · 11/05/2017 22:44

Anyhow, similar names...

Maybe Alder, Arbour or Ardith?

i like the poet Smile do you mean because he is a male?

It reminds me of The House of Arden.

I actually really like the name! I personally don't like Eden.

that's a sweet story user!

I originally liked Auden more but thought people might think it's a boys name. Cant use Eden for reasons i won't get into though i do like it. Anyone have any other suggestions that have this sound / theme???????

Arloe?

usernjdhkvdgkb · 11/05/2017 22:32

I only know one she is around 45/46 ish now and I remember her being beautiful (older girl we looked up to when we were 15) I remember attending her wedding when I was 15 thinking she was the most beautiful bride ever!

I actually like it, pretty, strong name and much prefer to Eden)which in my area would be classed along the same lines as kaden, Tommy-Lee, Kayla etc

BlueChairs · 11/05/2017 22:28

Auden sounds like odour or Odin

BlueChairs · 11/05/2017 22:27

Love Arden !
Repping it for Bill Shakey

MumBod · 11/05/2017 22:27

Eden
