Oh, I love it! As you know, my ONLY complaint about Andon was that I saw it and thought of Landon, which I like a bit more. But with this spelling I didn't see Landon at all, it seemed like entirely its own name. Also, this should eliminate the complaint that some people had that it looked like "and on and on..." And it reflects the pronounciation better. I definitely prefer this spelling. I think it's perfect.

Hmm ... I do like this spelling. Kind of reminds me of the name Andrew with the E in there, so it might be more familiar-looking to people. Just thought I'd mention I would be prone to pronounce the two slightly differently ... an-den as opposed to an-dun, KWIM? If that doesn't bother you, then I'd definitely say I prefer the Anden spelling. :)

Edited to add: Just read Annie's reply and like it even more now. I'd forgotten about the "and on" comments people had made (since I wasn't pronouncing it like "and on" that hadn't occurred to me LOL). So the Anden spelling should take care of a lot of the problems others were mentioning. Go for it! ;)

When I say Anden/Andon/Andan/Andin/Andyn I pronounce it 'Ann-din' regardless of the spelling. Dh just told me last night that he had an uncle in Holland named Anton but they say it 'Ann-tone' and I didn't want his parents to say 'Ann-doan' (like dome) so tis why I decided to change the spelling to Anden.
