Arlen?

[Liv5417]

Just heard this boys name on TV and OH told me he really liked it! I hadn't heard it before and can't decide what I think about it. I looked on namesdarkgreener and there were 48 Arlen's born in 2018.

Arlen, what do you think?

I think it's fine but I did assume it was a girls name, probably because I hadn't hear it before. I like Arlo too. Choose what you love.

Thank you ♥️

Love this name it’s so original and sounds nice. If it goes well with last name go for it!

Sorry, no. It just sounds made up. Arlo would be much better!

Love it. Nearly chose it for DS. There was an Arlo in my NCT group born days before so felt like it would be too similar. We went with a more traditional name with a very similar sound.

Love Arlen. It has a very regal sound

Not a fan.

It reminds me of Ardal O'Hanlon from Father Ted.

I also think it could be misread as the girl's name Arlene.

Just sounds like "our Len" in a Northern Irish accent.

Awful

It looks like the female name Arlene, with the e missed off.
It does sort of sound like Ireland too, which is odd.
I'm not keen on it. Sorry.

Where I’m from it would sound like you meant ‘Harlen’ or had missed the e from Arlene.

Never heard it as a name.

I prefer Harlan.

I don't like ANY of the above mentioned names!!!
