Alden (pronounced All-den). Do you think it could be pulled off by a British boy?

And does it sound too much like Aldi?

I thought it was Aiden at first.

May get this mistake through like.

Yes sounds American like Holden or Harper.

Also it makes me think of Elder…. Alden-Alder-Elder

It’s a bit odd. Just sounds like a random surname.

Alden not good. Why not try the name with a great meaning and a decisive sound - Allan?

All done springs to mind for me immediately, not Aldi.

Alden is a really old Anglo Saxon name.
