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).

I never misread names, but s lot of people do.

I don't usually misread names, but I did this time.

Sorry OP, it's actually quite a nice name.

Im the only person who read it as Aladdin then.

I didn't misread it, but did think it was Aiden mistyped until I read the whole title.

I also misread and was wondering 'what does she mean, Aiden misread as Aiden'.

I'm clearly a lazy reader.

My friend has a Alden but I've never even thought that is was similar to Alden or misread it... But now I'm sure I will! Hehe, people will always misread or mis-spell 'unusual' names, that's their problem.. If you love it then have it! X

No, but you clearly struggle with Aiden :o

I misread it too. How about spelling it Aulden?
