I think it works best as a mn for a girl:

Catherine Arden
Grace Arden
Sophia Arden
Olivia Arden
Camille Arden
Liv Arden
Natalia Arden

I almost wrote Elizabeth Arden...but that's the cosmetics firm!

I know with this spelling Arden can sometimes be considered unisex, but it still sounds very masculine to me (reminds me a LOT of Ardan, a strictly-male name that actually means "tall fellow," so not a pretty girl name at all KWIM?). ;)

Hey There,

My neighbor up the street, her little girls name is Arden. And it makes me think of Elizabeth Arden for some reason. Good luck!

I don't know if a pp has pointed this out, because I haven't read the other posts yet. But, I just think of Elizabeth Arden, which immediately kills this as a boys' name for me. Other things might occur to other people, though.

I, myself, see Arden as a boy's name but just wanted to know what others thought. I had this name on my list awhile back and maybe thought I'd revisit it. I guess why I took it off my list is because my Dutch brother-in-law's name is Arjan (are-ee-in) which may be a little too close for my liking. Thanks!
